Beanheim
Curated Valheim 1.0 pack for a small group. Scaled enemies and magic loot instead of XP bars, plus building, logistics and QoL. Challenging but not brutal, lore-friendly.
About this mod Author’s original text
Beanheim
A curated Valheim 1.0 pack for a small group of experienced players. The goal is
challenging but not brutal, generous with loot, and lore-friendly — a Valheim that
still feels like Valheim, with the tedium sanded off and the danger left in.
It is deliberately not an MMO pack. There are no XP bars, no attribute screens, no
class trees. Difficulty comes from the world getting meaner, not from the player
getting a bigger number.

Stability

Server notes
This pack is built around a dedicated server and is happiest on one.
- Several mods are server-authoritative via ConditionalConfigSync — the server's config
wins, so tune there rather than on a client.
- Server_devcommands is included so an admin can actually use console commands. On a
dedicated server vanilla refuses them outright; this is the only thing that changes that.
- Ore_Support and Build Camera are client-side only — a headless server has nothing
to draw or detach.
Known rough edges
- More World Locations is only partly functional on Valheim 1.0. Roughly 189 of its
locations fail to register and it logs a lot of errors at boot. It is kept because the
locations that do work are good, and removing it from an existing world would orphan
anything already placed. The errors are noise, not damage.
Credits
Every mod here belongs to its author. This is a curation, not a creation — thanks to all
of them, and particularly to Azumatt, shudnal, MidnightMods, RandyKnapp, JereKuusela and
Balrond, whose work makes up most of the pack.
Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin
- The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
- Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
- Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
- Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.
Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file. In multiplayer, the host and every client need the same mods installed.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
