About this mod Author’s original text
Otheryy Valheim
The modpack for our friends' Valheim server. It pins exact mod versions, and the server installs the same list at every start, so if you're on the latest version of this pack you match the server.
What's in it
| Mod | What it does for us |
|---|---|
| BepInExPack_Valheim | The mod loader everything else needs |
| Jotunn | Shared library used by XPortal and MultiUserChest |
| ValheimPlus (Grantapher) | Craft from nearby chests, ore through portals, kilns/smelters/furnaces that fill and empty themselves |
| XPortal | Pick a portal's destination from a list |
| MultiUserChest | Several people in one chest at once |
Setup (once)
- Install r2modman (free, open source, no Overwolf) from one of its official pages only: or Look-alike download sites exist; skip them.
- Pick Valheim, then import this modpack: Otheryy_Valheim (use "Install with Mod Manager" on this page, or search for it in r2modman's Online tab).
- Always start Valheim with Start modded in r2modman.
Updating
When we update the pack, r2modman shows an update for Otheryy_Valheim. Update that and nothing else. Never click "Update all": it pulls newer mod versions than the server runs, and then you can't join.
After a Valheim patch
Steam updates Valheim for everyone at once. Mods sometimes break until their authors catch up, which can mean a few hours to a day without play. We'll bump the pack when fixes land.
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:
