About this mod Author’s original text
Valheim Music Plus
Replaces Valheim's vanilla music with original ambient tracks — one per biome, one for your home base, one for every boss fight. Install and play, no setup needed. All tracks are included.
Created by Emberskald / Blink Ortodox. Tracks composed with Suno AI.

Features
- Per-biome music — unique track for every biome
- Boss music — triggers for all bosses (Eikthyr, Elder, Bonemass, Moder, Yagluth, The Queen, Fader) within 150m
- Boss-specific music — give any boss its own tracks with a folder named after it (see below)
- Home music — plays when you are under a roof with a lit fire nearby (hearth, campfire, brazier)
- Mining music (experimental) — tracks in mining/ play while you swing a pickaxe and linger 20s after the last swing. No mining tracks are included; add your own
- Shuffle queue — all tracks play before any repeat
- Zone resumption — leave and return to a zone, track picks up where it left off
- Smooth fades — 2-second fade in/out on every zone transition
- Menu untouched — vanilla main menu music plays normally
- Game music slider works — Settings → Audio → Music volume controls these tracks too, live
Want to add your own tracks?
Drop.ogg or.wav files into any zone folder inside the mod's music/ folder (in a mod manager: open the profile folder, then BepInEx/plugins/Emberskald-Valheim_Music_Plus/BiomeMusic/music):
music/
meadows/
blackforest/
swamp/
mountain/
plains/
ocean/
mistlands/
ashlands/
deepnorth/
home/
boss/ ← all bosses
eikthyr/ elder/ bonemass/ moder/ yagluth/ queen/ fader/
← optional: only that boss; others fall back to boss/
mining/ ← experimental, plays while swinging a pickaxe
approaching/ ← near buildings
global/ ← added to every zone except boss and mining
Keep your tracks safe across updates: a mod update replaces the whole mod folder, so put your own tracks in BepInEx/config/BiomeMusic/music-personal/ instead, with the same zone folders inside (ocean, mining, boss/moder...). The mod plays them alongside its own, and updates never touch the config folder.
A zone with no tracks never goes silent: boss, mining and approaching fall back to the biome's music.

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:
