About this mod Author’s original text
PraetorisClient
PraetorisClient is the shared client-and-server mod for Praetoris-specific gameplay, creative-zone, administration, and network measurement features.
Requirements and integrations
- BepInEx is required.
- Jotunn is required.
- Epic Loot is required by the current build. PraetorisClient starts its Epic Loot extensions during plugin startup.
- ValheimRcon is optional. When present on the server, it receives the Server Chest commands.
- Shudnal ExtraSlots is optional. When present on a client, its items are included in creative inventory reports.
- VBNetTweaks is optional. When present, its ZDOQueueLimit supplies the socket metric queue budget.
- ValheimTracer is optional. A compatible server can issue tokens and receive uploaded network metric batches.
- AzuCraftyBoxes and Protective Wards are optional. When both are present, PraetorisClient prevents unpermitted players from using protected chest contents through AzuCraftyBoxes.
Features
Player features
Discord account linking
- Enter!link CODE in game chat to link a Valheim character to Discord.
- The server sends the code and player identity to the configured Praetoris bot endpoint.
- The result appears in game chat.
- The command name is configurable.
Cleanse Mead
- Adds Mead Base: Cleanse to the Mead Ketill.
- The recipe requires 6 Pukeberries, 1 Fresh Seaweed, and 1 Fragrant Bundle.
- One mead base ferments into six Cleanse Mead.
- Drinking it removes every other active status effect once. This includes beneficial and harmful effects.
- The mead leaves its own 120-second cooldown effect.
Server Chest
- Adds a buildable Server Chest for administrator deliveries.
- Alternate interact registers the chest to the player's current character.
- Each player can register only one Server Chest.
- Each registered chest can belong to only one player.
- Administrators can deliver items while the player is offline.
- Players can remove delivered items, but they cannot place items into the chest.
- The chest supports up to 64 item slots and saves its contents in the world.
- See the Server Chest command guide for delivery and lookup commands.
Creature Owner Ward
- Adds a Hammer > Misc piece made with 10 Core Wood.
- The piece assigns network ownership of nearby hostile creatures and bosses to a selected connected player.
- It does not tame creatures and does not provide normal ward protection.
- It excludes players, tamed creatures, and creatures in player-controlled factions.
- Use toggles the ward. Alternate use opens the owner-name input.
- Any connected player can use these ward controls. They are not limited to the piece creator or an administrator.
- Its hover text shows its state, selected owner, and radius.
- The default radius is 40 metres. The default update interval is 2 seconds.
World and display changes
- Prevents building in selected Hildir locations, crypts, caves, and Mistlands Dvergr entrances.
- Prevents the specific attackerless water-impact damage applied to boats. Other boat damage still applies.
- Lets a ship creator set, change, or clear a helm password with alternate use at the helm.
- Restricts the helm and inventory of player-built boats to the builder by default. The builder can use both without a password.
- Other players must enter the builder's password at the helm or inventory once per boat. Their saved access permits both steering and inventory use, including after logout or a server restart. Password changes and clearing preserve saved access. Passengers can still board the ship.
- Stores a salted password verifier in the ship ZDO. Destroying the ship removes the password with the ZDO.
- Requires PraetorisClient on the server and all clients that can own boats. Boats without a recorded builder retain normal access unless password protected.
- Hides area damage numbers on building pieces and non-player damage numbers on trees and logs.
- Preserves player combat damage numbers. This display option does not change damage.

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.
Dependencies
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
