Epic Valheim Additions (community 1.0 rebuild)

A Valheim 1.0 community rebuild of Huntardy's Epic Valheim Additions.

This is not the original 2.1.2 biome overhaul. Vanilla Deep North and Ashlands stay vanilla. EVA now adds optional extra bosses and golden minibosses.

Original mod: Huntardys EpicValheimsAdditions (Nexus: EVA)
Original author: Huntard. Assets, bosses, and art remain theirs.

Install on client and dedicated server. Remove the original Huntardys-EpicValheimsAdditions package so you do not load two EVA DLLs.

Plugin GUID is unchanged: Huntard.EpicValheimsAdditions (existing JSON configs still apply).

What this version keeps

• Svartalfar Queen — Mistlands altar + vegvisir
• Hel Demon (Blazing Damned One) — Ashlands altar + vegvisir
• Jotunn — Deep North altar + vegvisir
• Golden minibosses — Meadows / Black Forest / Swamp stamina altars
• Boss HP/damage JSON and content toggles

What was removed

Weapons, ores, vegetation, extra creatures, Thor's Forge, and EVA overwriting vanilla Ashlands / Deep North content.

Existing worlds that already spawned that content can run EVA_cleanup confirm as host/admin (optional Upgrade World vegetation_reset).

Requirements

• Valheim 1.0
• BepInExPack Valheim
• Jötunn 2.30.2+

Summon items (vanilla stations)

Golden miniboss altars still use the matching vanilla trophies. After a golden miniboss dies, that altar rests for 120 real-time minutes (set GoldenMinibossCooldownMinutes in Huntard.EpicValheimsAdditions_Content.json; 0 disables).

Config

BepInEx/config/

• Huntard.EpicValheimsAdditions.json — boss HP and attack values
• Huntard.EpicValheimsAdditions_Content.json — MistlandsBoss / AshlandsBoss / DeepNorthBoss / GoldenMinibosses

Difficulty order is Mistlands < Ashlands < Deep North. Defaults are aimed at 3–4 players.

Drop tables are not inside this DLL. Use Drop That (or similar) if you want custom loot.

Commands (host / admin)

• EVA_cleanup / EVA_cleanup confirm — remove retired EVA world objects
• EVA_upgrade — add kept locations if Upgrade World is installed

This package only updates compatibility and scope for Valheim 1.0. It does not claim ownership of the original content.

Changelog

2.2.11

• Golden miniboss aura is dimmed (GoldenAuraIntensity, default 0.35; 1 is original brightness).
• Golden altar trophy costs are configurable. Defaults: Greydwarf 10, Troll 6, Wraith 8 (prefab value was 4). Existing worlds pick up the new counts on altar load.
• Golden miniboss altars show required trophy count on hover (e.g. 8× Wraith trophy).

2.2.10

• Compatibility check against Valheim 1.0.21 (Steam build 26249040).
• Load-time and FPS-oriented cleanup: narrower Harmony patching, cached asset-name lookup, skip unused creature prefabs, coroutine RPC registration, cheaper golden-altar cooldown checks.

2.2.7

• EVA_cleanup and EVA_upgrade run on dedicated servers when an admin uses the in-game console while connected (RPC to server).

2.2.6

• Restored optional EVA biome creatures with config toggles (default on): DeepNorthCreatures, AshlandsCreatures, OceanCreatures.
• Spawns match original EVA rates (chance, caps, intervals). Draugr Mariner still requires the Killed_Jotunn world key.
• EVA_cleanup confirm removes creature instances when their toggle is off.

2.2.5

• Startup log uses the real plugin version.
• Missing nested attack prefabs are treated as optional (no crash).
• Black Forge summon recipes use the blackforge station prefab (YmirsSoulEssence, FenrirsHeart).
• Galdr table summon uses piece_magetable (CursedEffigy).

2.2.3 / 2.2.4

• Boss HP tuned for 3–4 player groups (Queen 24k, Hel Demon 45k, Jotunn 100k).
• Deep North is the hardest EVA boss; Ashlands sits between Mistlands and Deep North.

2.2.2

• Golden miniboss coin payouts raised for a ~120 minute altar cooldown (per player).

2.2.1

• Golden miniboss altar cooldown after a kill (GoldenMinibossCooldownMinutes, default 120).
• Auto-migrate boss JSON when Jotunn HP is inflated or biome difficulty order is wrong.

2.2.0

• Valheim 1.0 / Jotunn 2.30 rebuild.
• Keeps only the three EVA bosses, three golden minibosses, altars, and vegvisirs.
• Removes EVA weapons, ores, vegetation, extra creatures, and vanilla biome overwrites.
• Vanilla late-game summon recipes.
• EVA_cleanup confirm and EVA_upgrade (Upgrade World, if installed).
