Lord of the Rings Music
Complete overhaul of Valheim music to make everything Lord of the Rings themed. Includes 70+ tracks.
I made this for my family Valheim server as the kids and I are big fans of LotR. They helped me choose tracks and test. Thought maybe others may enjoy it as well.
I tried to make it as immersive as possible, which is the main reason for the size of the download, as to have enough variety that we do not get tired of the music!
Warning
- This mod is memory intensive!
- Expect an additional 7GB of memory consumption
- Expect an additional 45-60s of loadup time
What to expect
- I tried to make the tracks immersive to each biome so it feels "right" while you explore the world
- Each biome has 6 tracks on rotation and I'm contemplating adding a 1m and 2m "blank" filler track to have some pause
- Each boss has their own metal version of a LotR song
- It was hard to match the volume - some tracks are a bit louder or quieter than others. The songs came from various places and I'm below amateur level, but I tried
- I did most of my testing with 100 audio, 35 ambient, and 50 music
Thanks
- aruberuto's CustomAudio LocationMusic for making this possible and providing a great example!
- LOTR The Untold Tales Modpack for showing me how incredible LotR music is inside Valheim. Also a great modpack and server to play on!

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:
