Achievement support for normal gameplay while preserving vanilla cheat checks.
About this mod Author’s original text
Normal Achievements
Keep achievement progress available during normal gameplay with mods installed.
Normal Achievements removes only the achievement restriction caused by the game being marked as modded. Character, world and cheated-item checks remain in place.
Requirements and installation
Requires BepInExPack Valheim 5.4.2350 or later.
Install through Mod Manager on your player profile and launch modded. No server installation or configuration is required.
For manual installation, close Valheim and copy the included plugins/NormalAchievements folder into Valheim/BepInEx/plugins.
What it does
- Allows the game's achievement checks to ignore the modded-game flag.
- Preserves normal achievement requirements and all other vanilla cheat checks.
- Refuses to apply its patch if the expected modded flag check is not found exactly once.
What to expect
Achievements still require the relevant in-game actions. This mod does not unlock achievements automatically, replay missed progress, clear cheat flags, or edit character/world saves.
Characters or worlds marked as cheated, and inventories containing cheated items, may still block progress. Modded gameplay alone is the restriction this base mod addresses.
Removal
Close Valheim and remove the mod from your profile, or delete its folder from BepInEx/plugins.

Optional cheat support
Install Achievements With Cheats alongside this mod to also bypass character, world, cheated-item and devcommand achievement restrictions. Without that add-on, Normal Achievements preserves these checks.
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:
