The server version is designed to be as simple as possible to deploy. Three folders, one copy-paste, done.

1. Download DeatHeimServer via r2modman or the Thunderstore Mod Manager.
2. Launch Valheim once with the profile active to let it generate all files.
3. Open the profile folder: Settings → All → Browse Profile Folder
4. Navigate to BepInEx. (Optional: open config and adjust server settings to your liking before deploying.)
5. Copy the config, patcher and plugins folders into your server's BepInEx folder.
6. Check save → worlds_local — if any world files are present, delete them. ⚠️ This removes any existing world on that path. Back up anything important first.
7. Restart your server.

That's it. The server now enforces which mods are allowed, handles all character storage, and syncs most settings automatically to every connecting client. You don't need to configure anything on the player side — the server takes care of it.

The full experience for players joining a DeatHeim dedicated server. Every permitted mod is included and pre-configured.

1. Download DeatHeim via r2modman or Thunderstore.
2. Launch Valheim once with the modpack active to generate all config files.
3. Open the profile folder: Settings → All → Browse Profile Folder
4. Navigate to BepInEx → config.
5. Open the FastLink config file (Azumatt.FastLink_servers.yml) and enter your server details: server name, password, IP address, and port.
6. Launch Valheim and connect — done.

Note: Every mod in this version is whitelisted or greylisted by the server's anti-cheat. Don't add mods outside this list — they will trigger the anti-cheat and prevent you from connecting.

Just the essentials. For players who want to keep things lightweight and only install what the server strictly requires to connect.

1. Download DeatHeimCore via r2modman or Thunderstore.
2. Launch Valheim once with the modpack active.
3. Connect to your DeatHeim server as usual.

Note: This version only includes mods the server enforces. All optional mods — UI overhauls, visual enhancements, quality-of-life additions — are not included. If you want the full experience, use DeatHeim instead.

The full DeatHeim content experience without any server infrastructure. Play solo or invite friends directly via Valheim's built-in peer-to-peer connection.

1. Download DeatHeimSolo via r2modman or Thunderstore.
2. Launch Valheim with the modpack active.
3. Create a new world — no further setup required.
4. (Optional) To play with friends: invite via Steam or via invite code — no dedicated server needed.

Note: This version does not include server infrastructure mods (anti-cheat, ServerCharacters, etc.). Characters and worlds are stored locally, as in vanilla Valheim. Saves from this version are not compatible with a dedicated DeatHeim server running ServerCharacters.

The easiest way to make sure everyone has the exact same setup — mods, configs, and all:

1. Open r2modman and click Settings
2. Click Profile
3. Click Export Profile as Code
4. Share the code with your friends
5. They import it via Import Profile — done ⚔️

This exports the entire profile including config files, so everyone starts with identical settings. No manual syncing required.

DeatHeim uses the AzuAntiCheat system by Azumatt to ensure a fair and consistent multiplayer experience for everyone on the server.

• ✅ No manual setup required — pre-installed and configured out of the box
• ✅ Whitelisted mods (required): Enforced by the server. All players must have these installed to connect.
• ✅ Greylisted mods (optional): Can be freely added, configured, or removed by individual players without issue.
• ❌ Any mod not on the whitelist or greylist will be detected and the connection will be blocked.

This means no one can sneak in mods that give unfair advantages — no infinite resources, no god mode, no hidden item duplication. What you see is what everyone plays with.

Not sure which mods are allowed? Everything permitted is already included in the Full Client. If you stick to that, you're good.

DeatHeim ships with BreakoutVOIP — a full in-game voice chat system built directly into Valheim, no external software required.

• 🎙️ Push-to-Talk support — you control when you transmit
• 🔊 Spatial audio — voices get quieter the further away a player is, adding real immersion
• 👥 Works for the whole group — everyone on the server can communicate in-game without needing Discord open
• ⚡ Zero setup — install the modpack, launch the game, talk

Of course you can still use Discord on top of it — but for quick in-game callouts, coordinating raids, or just chatting while sailing, BreakoutVOIP has you covered without alt-tabbing.

DeatHeim uses ServerCharacters by Smoothbrain to tie your character to the server rather than your local machine.

• Your character is stored server-side — no transferring saves, no cheating by swapping characters
• Everyone starts fresh on the DeatHeim server, on equal footing
• Character data is safe even if you reinstall the game or switch computers

On top of that, the EpicMMO System adds a full RPG progression layer:

• Gain experience from killing enemies, mining, chopping, and crafting
• Level up and invest points into stats like Strength, Agility, Intellect, and more
• Higher-level characters hit harder, carry more, and unlock new capabilities
• Works seamlessly alongside Valheim's existing skill system

The base game's enemy variety gets a massive overhaul through the complete Therzie suite:

• 🧌 Monstrum — New creatures across all biomes, from the meadows to the deep north, each with unique behaviors and loot
• 🌨️ Monstrum: Deep North — Dedicated creature expansion for the Deep North biome
• ⚔️ Warfare — Dozens of new weapons and shields fitting seamlessly into Valheim's progression
• 🔥 Warfare: Fire & Ice — Elemental weapon extensions with fire and frost variants
• 🏹 Armory — New armor sets and protective gear across all tiers
• 🧙 Wizardry — A dedicated magic system with staves, spells, and a new playstyle

On top of that, CreatureLevelAndLootControl (CLLC) scales every enemy dynamically — the longer a world runs, the more dangerous it becomes. Elite stars, infused creatures, and custom loot tables keep combat challenging at every stage of progression.

Jewelcrafting by Smoothbrain adds a deep socketing and gem system to the game:

• Find and craft gems of various types and qualities
• Socket gems into weapons and armor at a dedicated crafting station
• Each gem type provides unique bonuses — from raw damage increases to elemental resistances, stamina boosts, and special effects
• Higher quality gems provide stronger bonuses but are harder to obtain
• Gems can be removed and swapped, allowing you to adapt your build to different situations

This system adds a meaningful layer of character customization on top of Valheim's existing gear progression without replacing it.

DeatHeim makes the world feel bigger, more alive, and more rewarding to explore:

• 🗺️ More World Locations (AIO) — Hundreds of additional hand-crafted locations spread across all biomes, from hidden camps to forgotten ruins
• 🛤️ Procedural Roads — The world generates natural road networks between locations, making the world feel settled and lived-in
• 🌦️ Seasonality — The world changes with the seasons. Winters are cold and resource-scarce, summers are lush. Dress accordingly.
• ⚔️ Forsaken Power Overhaul — Boss powers are reworked and significantly stronger, making defeating each forsaken feel more impactful
• 🧭 Biome Lock — Certain items and crafting recipes are locked behind biome progression, ensuring the world is explored in a meaningful order

DeatHeim extends Valheim's seafaring with a full suite of ship mods:

• ⛵ ValheimRAFT — Build fully custom ships piece by piece, with working sails, storage, and crew stations
• ⚓ LongshipUpgrades — Upgrade your vanilla Longship piece by piece with lantern, changeable sails, tent, shields, extended storage and more.
• 🚣 AllHandsOnboard — Turns slow sailing into a crew rowing minigame. Up to 6 players can take oar seats and row in sync for speed bonuses — perfect with voice chat

Building in DeatHeim is smoother and more capable than vanilla:

• 🔨 Build Camera — A free-moving camera mode while in the build hammer, allowing precise placement without fighting the default camera
• 📦 Dynamic Storage Piles — Storage containers visually fill up as you add items, giving your base a lived-in look
• 🪓 AzuCraftyBoxes — Craft directly from nearby containers without manually moving items to your inventory
• 📥 AzuAutoStore — Items are automatically sorted into nearby containers when you interact with them
• 🌱 Plant Everything — Plant and cultivate a much wider range of resources including berries, mushrooms, and saplings

Playing with others in DeatHeim is built around a set of dedicated multiplayer systems:

• 🏰 Guilds — Form a guild with your friends, share a guild hall, and track your group's progress together
• 👥 Groups — A lightweight party system for grouping up without a full guild, with shared map markers and proximity features
• 🧙 Rune Magic — Some runes and abilities are designed around cooperative play, rewarding groups who coordinate
• 💬 BreakoutVOIP — In-game spatial voice chat (see Voice Communication above)
• 🔒 Locked up tombstone — Your tombstone on death is locked to you, except you died to another player.
• 🌀 Graceful Teleportation — Teleporting with a group no longer yanks everyone through at different times

Note: G is shared between the Radial Menu and the Power Overhaul. Holding G opens the item wheel; a short tap triggers the power cycle.
