Requirements
- BepInExPack for Valheim
- Jotunn
Compatibility
Developed and tested on Valheim 1.0.14.
Tested alongside RtDOcean.
Tested alongside JGRPG.
PlantEverything has overlapping plantable-resource features. If using both mods,
disable JGQoL's PlantableResources feature or disable the overlapping resources
in PlantEverything to avoid duplicate Cultivator entries.
Configuration
JGQoL creates its configuration file automatically after the game is launched with the mod installed.
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:
