This mod requires the following mods to function
denikson-BepInExPack_Valheim
BepInEx pack for Valheim. Preconfigured with the correct entry point for mods and preferred defaults for the community.
Preferred version: 5.4.2350README
WorldSavePlus
Save a dedicated Valheim world from the ESC menu with a clear Save Server / Salvar Server button — separate from vanilla Save.
Built for Valheim 1.0 + BepInEx.
Support: ko-fi.com/tudoecriativo
Why
On dedicated servers it is unclear whether ESC Save affects the world or only the character.
WorldSavePlus adds an explicit Save Server entry that asks the dedicated server to write the world now, with a simple permission policy and a global cooldown.
Vanilla Save is left unchanged.
How to use
- Install the mod on the dedicated server and on your game client
- Join the server
- Press ESC
- Click Save Server (English) / Salvar Server (Portuguese)
- Wait for the confirmation toast (or cooldown / permission message)
Hotkey (optional): F6 by default (client config).
| Action | Default |
|---|---|
| ESC button | Save Server / Salvar Server |
| Hotkey | F6 |
| Global cooldown | 30 seconds |
The button is hidden in singleplayer (vanilla Save already covers the local world).
Install
Both sides matter:
| Where | Required? | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Dedicated server | Yes | Enforces permissions, cooldown, and runs the world save |
| Client | Yes | ESC button, hotkey, and localized toasts |
