Custom QOL Server Pack

Client companion: Vhmod-Custom_QOL_Mod_Pack

Dedicated-server companion for Valheim 1.0.12. This package contains the shared gameplay mods, ServerSync/configuration components and server-side utilities used by the client QOL pack. Purely client-side UI and convenience mods are intentionally omitted.

Included server dependencies

These 23 direct dependencies match manifest.json. Thunderstore may also install transitive support libraries required by them.

Configuration ownership

The server should be the source of truth for gameplay-impacting settings when a mod supports ServerSync or Jotunn synchronization. CONFIGURATION.md lists the recommended ownership and the settings that are especially important for this pack.

shudnal-ConfigurationManager and shudnal-ConditionalConfigSync synchronize ConfigurationManager's own lock/visibility policy. They do not replace the native synchronization mechanisms of PlantEverything, AzuAutoStore, AzuCraftyBoxes, the collectors, Quick Stack or other gameplay mods.

MultiUserChest belongs on the server and clients at the same version. EquipmentAndQuickSlots is also kept server-side so slot counts, slot enablement and death/balance rules can be centrally controlled.

Recommended storage/crafting policy

The companion client pack intentionally separates overlapping storage features:

• AzuAutoStore owns the primary inventory-deposit workflow (. on clients) and shared storage rules.
• SmarterContainers remains client-only and should have Unload.enabled = false; it is used for chest-to-chest routing/grouping instead of duplicate inventory unloading.
• AzuCraftyBoxes handles nearby-container crafting/building and should keep Leave One Item = On so routing systems can retain a representative stack where desired.
• Quick Stack handles sorting/restocking/area stacking; keep AllowAreaStackingInMultiplayerWithoutMUC = false because MultiUserChest is part of both packs.
• RecycleItemsIntoParts remains client-only and handles recycling separately from Quick Stack's trash action.

Valheim 1.0.12 compatibility packages

AzuAutoStore compatibility bridge

KRINJUN-AzuAutoStoreCompat-1.0.0 is a compatibility bridge for Azumatt-AzuAutoStore-3.0.14 on Valheim 1.0.12. It restores legacy API shapes used by the current AzuAutoStore release.

Manual dedicated-server installations must preserve both components:

BepInEx/plugins/KRINJUN-AzuAutoStoreCompat/AzuAutoStoreCompat.dll
BepInEx/patchers/KRINJUN-AzuAutoStoreCompat/AzuAutoStoreCompat.Patcher.dll

The patcher runs before normal plugins and is required. The bridge should be removed when upstream AzuAutoStore no longer requires it for the supported Valheim release.

AzuCraftyBoxes compatibility rebuild

The server pack uses fedorovdgap-AzuCraftyBoxes-1.8.18, a compatibility rebuild for Valheim 1.0. Do not install the original Azumatt-AzuCraftyBoxes package alongside it because the two distributions share the same plugin identity.

The rebuild retains Azumatt.AzuCraftyBoxes.cfg and Azumatt.AzuCraftyBoxes.yml file names and can be replaced by upstream once upstream support covers the same Valheim version and behavior.

Max Dungeon Rooms

Digitalroot-Max_Dungeon_Rooms-2.0.39 is intentionally server-only in this pack. Clients can connect without it. Because it uses Jotunn configuration synchronization, a client may still receive a warning that digitalroot.mods.maxdungeonrooms.cfg is unavailable locally; that warning is expected when the mod is not installed client-side.

Dungeon-generation settings should be chosen before generating new unexplored dungeons. Changes to world-generation mods can have lasting effects on already-generated world content, so back up important worlds before changing those settings or removing the mod.

Previous-baseline mods not yet reintegrated

The following shared/server-relevant packages from the older QOL baseline are not included in the current Valheim 1.0.12 server pack. Reasons apply to the named releases and should be reevaluated when upstream updates are published.

Intentionally separate / not bundled

• PlanBuild — optional building/terrain/blueprint tooling rather than a core server QOL dependency.
• Server Devcommands / Upgrade World — administrative and world-maintenance tools; install separately when needed.
• Client UI/QOL mods — BetterUI, AzuClock, FastLink, Ship Stats, VNEI, PlantEasily, SmarterContainers, RecycleItemsIntoParts and similar client conveniences belong only in the client pack.

Deployment notes

Install this package on the dedicated server and the client companion pack on players' clients. Preserve existing .cfg/YAML files when upgrading unless a configuration change is intentional; the package supplies dependencies and documentation, not generated server configuration files.

When replacing packages, remove obsolete DLLs from manually managed installations. Removing a dependency from a meta-package does not delete an old DLL that was copied by hand.

Support components such as MMHOOK, HookGenPatcher and JSON/YAML libraries can be installed transitively. Leave those dependency files in place unless the package that supplied them is also being removed.

Package-version notes

Use Thunderstore package versions from manifest.json when comparing installations. Embedded plugin/assembly versions can differ from the package pin; this is especially visible with the AzuAutoStore compatibility package.

Changelog

[1.2.1] - Thunderstore deprecation / Hexium migration notice (2026-09-17)

Deprecated

• This is the final Thunderstore release of Custom_QOL_Server_Pack.
• The server pack is deprecated because it is built primarily around Azumatt mods, whose Thunderstore packages have been deprecated and will no longer receive active upstream updates there.
• The dependency list remains unchanged from 1.2.0 so this release represents the same frozen Valheim 1.0.12 Thunderstore server snapshot.

Migration

• Current Azumatt releases are maintained on Hexium.
• Gale can use Hexium and Thunderstore packages in the same profile.
• Re-test client/server version parity, ServerSync and configuration behavior when replacing the archived Thunderstore Azumatt dependencies with current Hexium releases.
