Installation
If you are updating this modpack from a previous version, pay close attention to the mods that were removed/replaced because Thunderstore will not automatically remove/replace them.
For an easier time updating, create a new mod-profile in your mod manager and redownload the pack. Your worlds and characters will not be deleted.
There is no need to remove Deprecated mods, they are still important.
I do not recommend updating individual mods until they are updated within the modpack. Updating mods will break them or even prevent the game from launching.
**If your game won't load or you see lots of red errors, this is the number one reason! Number 2 reason is you MUST downgrade Valheim to Pre-bog witch update. See below.
Gale Mod Manager (Preferred)
- Install JTQcore and all dependencies.
- Start the game. This will copy all config files to the correct place.
- Exit the game and re-start to reload the config changes.
- Start a new character and a new world. Joining unmodded worlds or other modpack worlds is not recommended.
If installing on server:
- Follow the previous steps to install the client game first.
- Navigate to your Valheim profile folder. If you are using mod-manager, Click Settings>Browse profile folder.
- Copy the contents of the profile folder into your server's Valheim folder.
- Run the server.
