BifrostGate
A unique stone portal hub connecting named unpaired portals.
About this mod Author’s original text
Bifrost Gate
A single stone portal hub for your unpaired, named Valheim portals. Build an enlarged gate using twice the resources required by your game's stone portal. Press E at the gate to open a destination grid, search by name, and click a portal to connect. Walk through to travel; the remote portal can return you to the Bifrost Gate. Unpaired portals display [BIFROST] when hovered. Paired portals continue working normally.
The gate has an ice blue spiral and softly glowing blue stone runes, with no smoke effect. The destination grid cannot store or transfer items.
Requirements
BepInEx and Jötunn. Every player and dedicated server must install the mod.
Notes
Only one Bifrost Gate can exist in a world. Each player's selected destination is local to that player and is chosen again after restarting. Portal travel follows the game's teleport restrictions. The server refreshes its destination list every three seconds, so newly paired portals can briefly remain visible.
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:
