Solo Map Pins
Solo Map Pins keeps unique Valheim map locations personal on multiplayer servers.
When a server already knows about traders, bosses, or custom location icons, this mod hides those distant synced pins from each player until that player personally gets close enough to discover them. Once discovered, the pin stays visible for that character.
This is intended for servers where exploration should stay individual. It supports vanilla unique locations and locations that use Valheim/Jotunn location icons, including More World Locations-style traders and ports.

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:
