About this mod Author’s original text
PURPOSE
Modpacks are my favorite part of Valheim! Every month or so, I find myself jumping into a new pack and playing for dozens of hours! Each time I load up a new pack I inevitably run into hiccups and spend 2-6 hours getting the right QOL mods configured to all play together nicely. This mod pack is my attempt at making this process easier for others looking to play Epic Valheim 5.2+. Modding Valheim can be intimidating at first and One-click installation helps mitigate this. Now get to clicking and enjoy Epic Valheim plus some QOL improvements!
Critical Notes - Read Here Please!
- ONLY USE R2MODMAN TO INSTALL, DON'T USE MOD MANAGER
- Install this mod pack and the Epic Valheim mod pack - Preferably Install Epic Valheim second. If you've already installed it, Install the QOL pack, then Reinstall Epic Valheim.
- New World, New Character required for Epic Valheim 5.2+ Experience. Create a new profile in R2ModMan for a simple install.
- When upgrading from EV 5.2+, It is recommended to delete the current profile and create a new profile in R2ModMan. New Character, New World is -NOT NEEDED-.
- Epic Valheim complete through Plains. Can continue Vanilla progression nearly seamlessly after Plains.
- Report any bugs in the Epic Valheim discord in channel #compatible-mods
- Epic Valheim increases difficulty significantly, especially when entering a new biome! It is meant to be a challenge and requires good use of blocking, dodge rolling, and general evasion (run away!) at times.
THINGS TO KNOW:
- Epic Valheim is a major overhaul mod. If you get stuck, see the description of the mod pack or join his discord linked in the Epic Valheim mod pack.
- AutoFuel & Autofeed will pull nearby materials from chests to fuel kilns, smelters, etc. & feed animals.
- Auto Store - Hit the period button to stack all items, even consumables, from your inventory into nearby containers. Quick slots and hotbar excluded. Use Alt + Left click on items in inventory to "lock" them and avoid quickstacking.
- Mass Farming - Hold shift and interact with an item to collect all nearby items or plant items in a 5x5 grid.Works for farming and collecting resources in the world!
- Blast Furnace Takes All - Blast furnace can process any metal.
- Shield me Bruh - Middle click on a shield in your inventory to set it as a favorite. Equipping a one-handed weapon equips this shield.

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:
