Community Rebuild for Valheim 1.0

A community rebuild of Huntardy's Epic Valheim Additions, updated for Valheim 1.0.

This version brings back optional extra bosses, golden minibosses, and optional biome creatures while removing outdated weapons, ores, and vegetation. Vanilla Ashlands and Deep North world generation are not overwritten.

> Important: This is not the original 2.1.2 biome overhaul. All original bosses, assets, and artwork belong to their respective creators.

🔗 Original Mod

• Thunderstore: Huntardy's Epic Valheim Additions
• Nexus Mods: Epic Valheim Additions

Original Author: Huntard

✨ Features

👑 Additional Bosses

Three optional bosses return, each with an altar and vegvisir in its associated biome.

• Svartalfar Queen — Mistlands
• Hel Demon (Blazing Damned One) — Ashlands
• Jotunn — Deep North

🐾 Optional Biome Creatures (default on)

| Toggle | Creatures | |--------|-----------| | DeepNorthCreatures | Frostwing Fae, Crystalhide Ursar (+ cub) | | AshlandsCreatures | Magma Skarab, Infernal Minotaur | | OceanCreatures | Draugr Mariner (after Jotunn is defeated — requires world key Killed_Jotunn) |

Spawns use the original EVA chance and caps. Turn a toggle off and run EVA_cleanup confirm to remove existing instances of those creatures.

Ursar taming from original EVA is not included — only world spawns.

🪙 Golden Minibosses

• Golden miniboss encounters in the Meadows, Black Forest, and Swamp.
• Altars use their matching vanilla trophies.
• Configurable boss health, attack values, and content availability.
• Default altar cooldown of 120 real-time minutes after a golden miniboss is defeated.
• Cooldown can be customized or disabled.

⚖️ Boss Difficulty

Default boss balance is designed for groups of 3–4 players.

Difficulty progression:

Mistlands → Ashlands → Deep North

Boss health and attack values can be customized through JSON configuration files.

🗑️ Removed Content

To keep this rebuild focused and preserve vanilla biome content, the following features have been removed:

• Weapons and ores
• Vegetation
• Thor's Forge
• Overrides to vanilla Ashlands and Deep North world generation (trees, veins, etc.)

Existing worlds may retain objects created by previous versions. See the cleanup commands below if you want to remove retired EVA objects.

📦 Requirements

• Valheim 1.0
• BepInExPack Valheim
• Jötunn 2.30.2 or newer

📥 Installation

1. Install BepInExPack Valheim and Jötunn.
2. Install this community rebuild on both your client and dedicated server.
3. Remove the original Huntardys-EpicValheimsAdditions package to prevent duplicate EVA DLLs.
4. Launch the game to generate the configuration files.
5. Configure boss availability and difficulty as desired.

Plugin GUID: Huntard.EpicValheimsAdditions

The original plugin GUID is retained, so existing JSON configurations remain compatible.

🗿 Summoning Recipes

All summon items use vanilla crafting stations.

| Summon Item | Crafting Station | Materials | |---|---|---| | Cursed Effigy | Galdr table | 30 Yggdrasil Wood, 20 Black Marble, 1 Seeker Queen trophy | | Ymir's Soul Essence | Black Forge | 4 Frost Cores, 20 Ice, 1 Barka trophy | | Fenrir's Heart | Black Forge | 10 Flametal, 8 Asksvin hide, 1 Fader trophy |

Golden miniboss altars continue to use their corresponding vanilla trophies.

Golden Miniboss Cooldown

The default cooldown is 120 real-time minutes after a kill.

Configuration key: GoldenMinibossCooldownMinutes

• Set a positive value to customize the cooldown.
• Set 0 to disable the cooldown.

⚙️ Configuration

Configuration files are located in:

BepInEx/config/

| File | Purpose | |---|---| | Huntard.EpicValheimsAdditions.json | Boss health and attack values | | Huntard.EpicValheimsAdditions_Content.json | Bosses, creatures, golden minibosses, cooldown |

Boss toggles: MistlandsBoss, AshlandsBoss, DeepNorthBoss, GoldenMinibosses

Creature toggles (default true): DeepNorthCreatures, AshlandsCreatures, OceanCreatures

Custom Loot

Custom drop tables are not included in this DLL. Use Drop That or a similar mod to configure custom loot.

🛠️ Host & Admin Commands

Run these as the host or a player on the server admin list. Enable cheats/devcommands in the in-game console (F5) when prompted.

On a dedicated server there is no keyboard on the server process itself. From 2.2.7 onward, an admin connected from a client can run EVA_cleanup / EVA_upgrade in F5; the mod forwards them to the server. Your Steam ID must be on that world’s adminlist.txt, and this mod must be installed on both server and client.

For other console work on dedicated servers (including Upgrade World’s own commands), install Server devcommands on the server so admins can run authorized commands while connected.

| Command | Description | |---|---| | EVA_cleanup | Preview only: explains what confirm would remove. Does not add altars or locations. | | EVA_cleanup confirm | Removes retired EVA world objects (old ores, vegetation, stations, items, etc.) and creatures whose toggles are off. Keeps bosses, minibosses, altars, and vegvisirs. | | EVA_upgrade | Backfills missing EVA altars, vegvisirs, and golden miniboss sites on already-generated terrain. Requires Upgrade World on the server. |
