BepInEx pack for Valheim. Preconfigured with the correct entry point for mods and preferred defaults for the community.
Preferred version: 5.4.2350README
Base Defense Ward
Tower defense for your base. Build the Base Defense Ward (Hammer, Misc tab; vanilla ward model and cost, glows red) and a countdown starts. When it ends a wave spawns around your base and goes for the ward. Hold it and rewards drop at the ward; lose it and the challenge is lost. The ward then rests and re-arms, with bigger waves each time.
- Mobs hunt players who are out in the open and ignore players who are roofed and walled in.
- Mob tiers and rewards unlock with boss trophies hung on the sacrificial stones (Meadows only on a fresh world).
- One ward per player; build a new one to move it. Locked while a wave is in progress.
- Press E on the ward during the countdown to start the wave now. Optional pause hotkey.
- HUD rows under the minimap for every running ward (yours first, other players' by name) and a map pin on each.
- Countdown and rest run while the builder is logged in, at any distance. They pause while the builder is offline.
- Requires BepInEx 5.4.23+ on every client and on the server or host.
