Get started
Install BepInExPack Valheim 5.4.2360 and the same DropNSpawn version on the server and all clients. Expand World Data is optional. For manual installation, put DropNSpawn.dll in BepInEx/plugins/.
- Load a world once to generate files in
BepInEx/config/DropNSpawn/. - Find the settings you need in
DNS_<domain>.reference.yml. - Edit the matching
DNS_<domain>.yml. Reference files are for lookup, not editing. - Save to reload. In multiplayer, edit the server's YAML files.
Global settings and domain switches are in BepInEx/config/sighsorry.DropNSpawn.cfg. All five domains start enabled; switches are under 4 - Domains.
Config features
You can use these settings without writing custom YAML. In multiplayer, change gameplay settings on the server; dungeon diagnostics are local to each machine.
| Section | What you can do |
|---|---|
1 - General |
Block global-key-gated world spawn rules in lower-tier biomes. Set cumulative limits for local spawners, or give zero-respawn CreatureSpawners a respawn delay. These options are off by default. |
2 - Character — loot scaling |
Adjust extra loot per star separately for creatures and bosses, choose linear or vanilla chance-only scaling, and optionally scale trophy quantities. Defaults and examples. |
2 - Character — loot delivery |
Drop loot before the ragdoll disappears, or deliver stackable items in stacks. Both default to Off and have separate blacklists; Dragon, Hatchling keep normal loot timing by default. |
2 - Character — eligible kills |
Optionally require a player-aligned killer for creature loot, with creature exceptions. Players, tame allies and the Players/PlayerSpawned factions qualify; supported lethal damage-over-time is tracked too. |
2 - Character — nearby rewards |
For drops already marked onePerPlayer, count living players within 32 m by default. Set OnePerPlayer drop check range to 0 for the native server-wide count. |
3 - Events |
Tune raid chance, interval, duration and player-base conditions. Choose one active random event, multiple events with a shared check, or checks per player; set minimum spacing between events. Modes and defaults. |
4 - Domains |
Enable or disable YAML systems separately. Some global loot and event options remain active when their YAML domain is off; see compatibility below. |
5 - Diagnostics |
Temporarily log why dungeon spawn attempts are blocked. Off by default; enable on both server and affected clients. |
The progression filter is not a blanket ban on high-tier creatures from every source. Filter scope · Local spawner limits.
Choose what to change
| File | What it controls | Guide |
|---|---|---|
DNS_character.yml |
Creature loot, chances, amounts and drop conditions | Drops |
DNS_object.yml |
Loot and settings for chests, pickables, trees, rocks and other objects | Objects |
DNS_spawner.yml |
SpawnArea and CreatureSpawner settings, including lifetime spawn limits | Spawners |
DNS_spawnsystem.yml |
Normal world spawns, biomes, time of day and progression requirements | World spawns |
DNS_events.yml |
Raid definitions, conditions and creatures | Events |
DNS_spawnintervals.yml |
World spawn interval multipliers by biome, including EWD custom biomes | Interval multipliers |
DNS_dungeon.yml |
Additional periodic dungeon spawns | Dungeons and diagnostics |
Before editing: SpawnSystem YAML replaces the main world spawn table: keep every rule you still want. Custom Character/Object drop lists replace the matching original loot; they do not simply add items. Examples, file rules and reference commands.
Using other mods
Choose which mod manages each feature. Installing another mod does not mean you must disable every related DNS domain.
- Expand World Data: keep using DNS for normal world spawns, raids and drops. EWD handles world generation, custom biomes and its separate AltBiome spawn lists.
- MonsterDB, Drop That!, Spawn That! and Custom Raids: each domain's config description explains when to turn it off. Custom Raids also needs attention to DNS's separate event settings.
