QoL Adventure Server

QoL Adventure Server

The server-side companion to QoL Adventure. Install this on your dedicated server alongside the client pack on everyone's game.

Why a separate pack

Valheim runs a lot of gameplay logic (skills, carry weight, combat) on the connecting client, not the server — but most of these mods still need to be installed on the server too, either to enforce their locked config across every player or because they'd otherwise kick a client whose mod set doesn't match. A few mods in the client pack are pure client-side conveniences (a HUD clock, achievement unlocking, recipe markers) that do nothing on a headless server, so they're left out here to keep the server clean.

What's included

Framework

| Mod | Version | Why it's here | | --- | --- | --- | | BepInExPack Valheim by denikson | 5.4.2351 | Framework — required wherever any mod runs. | | Jotunn by ValheimModding | 2.30.2 | API dependency for most of the mods below. | | YamlDotNet by ValheimModding | 16.3.1 | YAML library; listed explicitly because the server's automatic installer only downloads a pack's direct dependencies. | | BetterNetworking by SimplifyDave | 1.2.0 | Improves multiplayer performance via compression, queue size, and send rate tuning. Author: "install it on the dedicated server and on every modded client" — required on both ends for compression negotiation. |

Skills

| Mod | Version | Why it's here | | --- | --- | --- | | ImpactfulSkills by MidnightMods | 0.22.1 | Tagged Server-side + Client-side; enforces its locked skill config. | | Vitality by Smoothbrain | 1.1.3 | "Can be installed on a server, to enforce the configuration." | | Dual Wield by Smoothbrain | 1.0.10 | Author: "make sure to install this mod on the server as well, to enforce the servers configuration." | | Fermenting by blacks7ar | 1.1.8 | Tagged Server-side + Client-side; uses ServerSync for its config. | | SkillFloors by Armikur | 1.2.2 | Tagged Server-side + Client-side; ServerSync for the floor progress rate. |

Gameplay & QoL

| Mod | Version | Why it's here | | --- | --- | --- | | PortalMap by korCaptain | 1.0.1 | Portal access modes are stored server-side (in the ZDO). | | AdjustablePortals by MidnightMods | 0.6.0 | Tagged Server-side + Client-side; gates portal activation/teleport rules. | | DetailedLevels by turbero | 2.1.4 | Tagged Server-side + Client-side; cheap to include for config consistency. | | SpearFix by coemt | 0.0.4 | Changes weapon stats — keeping it server-side avoids client/server desync. | | MaxPlayerCount by Azumatt | 1.2.5 | Raises the player cap above vanilla's 10 (default doubles it to 20). Server-only — not in the client pack at all; author: "only required to be installed on the server." |

Left out of this pack (client-only)

• CraftMeOnce — author calls it "a client mod."
• AzuClock — pure HUD clock, no gameplay effect.
• Unshamed — author: "client side only, nothing syncs, nothing is needed on the server."
• ProximityVoiceChat — author: "the server does not need it."
• CraftFromContainers — no ServerSync/locked config in the mod's settings; purely local.

Installation

Install on your dedicated server's BepInEx plugins/config folders (or via a mod manager profile pointed at the server install). Every player also needs the QoL Adventure client pack — the two are meant to be used together, not standalone.

Config

Ships with the same config values as the client pack for every shared mod. Notable tuning:

| Mod | Change | | --- | --- | | AdjustablePortals | Building-piece requirement to activate a portal turned off (EnablePortalPieceRequirements true → false). TeleportTamesMaxCount 5 → 3. Cart teleport turned off (EnableTeleportCarts true → false). | | ImpactfulSkills | Hauling max carry-weight bonus at level 100 raised to 150 (default 50). | | ImpactfulSkills | Swimming eased at low level: speed and stamina bonuses now scale from level 0 (SwimSpeedRequiredLevel 25 → 0, SwimStaminaReductionLevel 50 → 0), SwimSkillGainRate 1 → 1.5. Level-100 ceilings unchanged. | | Fermenting | Exp Loss on death 0 → 5, matching Vitality/Dual Wield's default (SkillFloors already protects the permanent floor). | | PortalMap | Enable portal browser panel turned off — the sidepanel has no English translation. |
