Socialize

Socialize

Adds player groups for adventures and expeditions, private messaging, map sharing, and a dedicated group chat channel.

Groups are not persistent: players leave them when they disconnect and do not rejoin automatically when they return.

Valheim compatibility

Current release: 1.0.x

Features

Groups

• Lets up to five connected players form a group for their current session.
• Gives group leaders invite, remove, and leadership transfer controls.
• Shows group invitations through Valheim's Yes/No popup.
• Automatically promotes the longest-standing remaining member when the group leader leaves.
• Disbands a group when fewer than two members remain connected.
• Removes disconnected players from their group and does not restore groups after reconnection or a server restart.

Chat

• Removes the public server-wide chat channel: normal chat reaches nearby players, while shouts travel farther within server-defined ranges.
• Adds private group chat for connected group members.
• Adds world-wide private messages and optional animated pings for a chosen player.
• Confirms private messages, targeted pings, group messages, and invitations only after delivery.
• Applies platform text permissions and filtering before displaying custom messages.
• Keeps the selected normal, shout, group, or private chat channel active for following messages.
• Keeps private messages inside the chat window instead of displaying them above the character.

Map privacy

• Keeps player positions private outside groups.
• Shares connected group members' positions automatically every two seconds.
• Shares map pings only with group members and disables them outside groups.

Notifications

• Replaces the local arrival shout with a server-wide localized arrival announcement, and announces when members leave, are removed, become leader, or cause a group to disband.
