An "Insane Difficulty" Valheim Adventure
This modpack is now available to the public. My community is still doing a playthrough test, so there may be regular updates to the configuration files here until we have completed our playthrough. Currently, we're entering the Mistlands for T5 content and fixing things as we come across them.
Game Features
- Insane mob difficulty (up to 10 stars)
- Custom raids (150+) that scale in difficulty
- Custom boss fights (WAY more difficult than vanilla)
- Dedicated multiplayer server, intended for 3+ players
- Repair gear and weapons with gold Coins (like an MMO)
What is cjaycraft?
Shout out to the developers, pack makers, and everyone working on great things! This pack is a configuration of all the great things made by people in the community. Thanks for giving people great content to enjoy!
-
A collection of over 70 mods! The difficulty is INSANE and features up to 10-star mobs and bosses. Also includes custom boss fights and raids that attack your base!
-
You will need several players. Recommend a minimum of 3. It's not possible by yourself! We tested a kill fight sequence on the 4th boss (Moder) with 3 players and it took 1.5 hours to him! Waves of monsters, it was insane!
-
Need to take a break from killing things? No problem! Build your own boat, custom from the ground up! This pack features all the fun creative elements of the game without breaking or making the rest of the game too easy.
-
Gold (coin) economy, repair your gear with Coins, and custom loot drops!
-
Purchase supplies from Haldor the Merchant for a premium, or sell him your cooked foods to earn Coin!
-
It's so hardcore that each player can only build 6 portals (3 linked networks) at the start of the game. Build more portals by acquiring special Portal Fluid from killing bosses or purchasing them from Haldor the Merchant!
-
Enemy encounters require tanks, casters, and DPS!
-
Since this is a modpack, you will be able to change the settings. Customize it to the experience you want.
Dedicated Server Files
https://valheim.thunderstore.io/package/cjayride/cjaycraft_ultimate_modpack_dedicated_server
It's recommended to run a dedicated server, even if you're playing from the same machine. Plus, you need friends to play this pack!
Note: Load times when launching the game are exceptionally longer than vanilla, especially for the server, because they need to load large files like loot tables. Lots of customization! But all good things.

Are You Ready!?
Valheim mods are not easy to install. Compatibility issues everywhere! So I made a modpack to play with my friends, and offer the best experience for HARDCORE progression. The insane raids and difficulty will give you quite the challenge, testing your skill and might!
Make sure you install this modpack with R2modman for an automated installation process!
https://valheim.thunderstore.io/package/ebkr/r2modman/
I've also spent 200+ hours testing the mods, re-writing broken code for mods, customizing config files, balancing economy, balancing fights, and making the game a great experience.
FPS Boost Recommendations
-
For high-end PCs: https://valheim.thunderstore.io/package/cjayride/fps_boost_small
-
For medium-grade PCs: https://valheim.thunderstore.io/package/cjayride/fps_boost_medium
-
For low-end PCs (very potato graphics): https://valheim.thunderstore.io/package/cjayride/fps_boost_high
The game is poorly optimized, so I recommend playing with at least medium-grade settings.
Some tips to reduce lag:
- Don't build too many things in one place.
- Split up your bases.
- Don't make boats that are too big.
- Don't make things with too many player placed objects.
- Don't make your farms too big.
- Basically, if you wanna go big, spread things out so they're not loaded in at the same time.

Armor and Weapons Guide
These armor sets are a combination of several different mods. Mostly following the lead of EpicValheim and their excellent fine tuning, I've added a few more armor sets from Jude's Equipment, Chaos Armor, and the new (vanilla sets) like Fenring from the Mountain Dungeon!
You'll notice that not every armor set is upgradeable at every Tier, so you will have to make entirely new types and sets of armor if you want to min-max and survive.
One key to survival: enchant and augment your armor as much as possible!
[T1 - Meadows]
New Armor: Boar, Leather, Rags New Weapons: Wood, Flint
[T2 - Black Forest]
New Armor: Troll Upgradeable Armor: Barbarian, Bronze, Leather, Rags New Weapons: Bronze
[T3 - Swamp] New Armor: Root, Iron, Padded Cuirass Upgradeable Armor: Barbarian, Bronze, Leather, Rags, Troll New Weapons: Iron
[T4 - Mountains]
New Armor: Silver Upgradeable Armor: Barbarian, Bronze, Iron, Leather, Rags, Troll New Weapons: Silver
[T5 - Plains]
New Armor: Nomad, Dragonslayer Upgradeable Armor: Barbarian, Bronze, Iron Armor, Leather, Rags, Troll, Silver New Weapons: Black metal
[T6 - Mistlands]
New Armor: Mistlands Armor New Weapons: Heavymetal Weapons and Tools
[T7 - Deep North]
New Armor: Fenring Armor New Weapons: Flesh Rippers, Frometal Weapons and Tools
[T8 - Ashlands]
New Armor: ELITE CHAOS Upgradeable Armor: Barbarian Armor, Dragonslayer Armor, Nomad Armor, Plate Armor, Bronze Armor, Iron Armor, Leather, Padded Cuirass Armor, Rags, Troll, Silver, CHAOS
Issues?
Is your character spinning?
- Make sure you don't press the 'Update All' button on R2modman. It updates 2 mods that are broken in their latest versions. Specifically: Jude's Armor and Better UI Remake. ONLY UPDATE cjaycraft_ultimate_modpack -- it will automatically update the rest that are SAFE to update.
Is your item displaying with an error?
- Your world or character might have "legacy" items if you started playing this modpack from an earlier version. Certain enchants were added and removed from the game (EpicValheim configuration) as part of game improvement and balancing. So to fix this, drop the item, or delete the item, or recycle the item -- and then your UI will display without issues.
