Utgarde Client Pack
Client mods for the Utgarde Valheim server, pinned to the exact versions the server runs.
Install this pack in Gale or r2modman and launch the game through the manager. When the server's mods change, a new version of this pack is published and your manager offers the update.
What is in it
| Mod | Version | Why |
| --- | --- | --- |
| denikson-BepInExPack_Valheim | 5.4.2351 | The BepInEx loader itself. Everything below is inert without it. |
| Grantapher-ValheimPlus_Grantapher_Temporary | 10.2.0 | Craft-from-chest, map sharing, smelter tuning, build and taming settings. The server sets enforceMod = true, so a client on any other version is kicked at connect. |
| ValheimModding-Jotunn | 2.30.2 | Mod library. Server-side it backs ServersideQoL; client-side it is required by Animal Feeding Trough and, since pack 1.10.0, by Muted_Mist. |
| Advize-PlantEverything | 1.21.3 | Berry bushes, thistle, dandelions, mushrooms and several trees on the cultivator. Degrades rather than blocking: a client without it still sees what others plant. |
| ValheimModding-YamlDotNet | 16.3.1 | ServersideQoL dependency server-side; AdventureBackpacks declares it client-side too, so every player now carries it. |
| Azumatt-Unshamed | 1.0.5 | Valheim 1.0 blocks Steam achievements for anyone running mods, so this pack is what disables them. Unshamed restores them and returns the ones already earned, granting no free unlocks. It is here because the pack causes the problem it fixes. Client-only: achievements are a Steam client concern and the server has no use for it. |
| MagiCorp-RememberServerPassword | 1.2.4 | Saves the server password and adds a quick-connect button for the last server, so nobody retypes it every session. Chosen over Dedryx-QuickServerConnect because it covers both jobs in one mod: two mods hooking the same join dialog and both storing passwords is a conflict waiting to happen. Client-only and purely convenience, so dropping it breaks nothing. Published 2026-09-12 and therefore unproven here; remove it if it misbehaves. |
| Vapok-AdventureBackpacks | 2.2.5 | Craftable, wearable backpacks with tiers. Replaces ArgusMagnus-ServersideQoL_Backpack, which was server-only and therefore cheaper to deploy, but was an invisible container opened by an emote rather than an item in the world. Since the pack reaches every player anyway, the deployment saving bought nothing. Jotunn-based, so a client without it is kicked at connect exactly like ValheimPlus. |
| RandyKnapp-EquipmentAndQuickSlots | 3.1.3 | Dedicated slots for worn gear (head, chest, legs, shoulder, utility, trinket) plus up to six hotkeyable quick slots. Picked by the operator 2026-09-29 over shudnal-ExtraSlots, which adds food, ammo and misc slots with progression gating and an AdventureBackpacks integration; the simpler mod won. Declares BepInExPack 5.4.2201 and Jotunn 2.29.2, both under the versions already here. |
| Landoria-GentleDeath | 1.0.14 | Keeps equipables (weapons, armor, tools, shields, ammo, utility, trinkets) on death and sends everything else to the tombstone, classifying via Valheim's own ItemData.IsEquipable(). Replaces beefbaccio-DeathTweaks, which shipped in pack 1.3.0 and coincided with every player stuck at 1 health; that attribution was never proven, but DeathTweaks predated Valheim 1.0 and this one declares 1.0.x compatibility. Verified working on jetragon 2026-09-15. |
| blacks7ar-VikingsDoSwim | 1.4.2 | Scales swim speed, stamina regen and stamina drain to the Swim skill, and adds diving. Vanilla swimming was the complaint. Verified on jetragon 2026-09-15. |
| OdinPlus-OdinHorse | 1.7.7 | Ground transport: a tameable, rideable, breedable horse with armour and an attachable cart. Added 2026-09-18 because overland travel to the traders and back is the group's standing complaint, and vanilla offers nothing below the Plains lox saddle. Chosen on maintenance rather than features: it is the only mod in this category still shipping, updated 2026
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:
