VikingColonies

VikingColonies

A MineColonies-style colony for Valheim. Found a Chieftain's Camp, welcome settlers, house them in Longhouses and give them jobs. They build your village piece by piece, fell and replant trees, farm, forage, eat, sleep, shelter from raids and mend what monsters break, all on their own while you go adventuring.

The Lumberjack's Hut in the evening light: every hut is a Viking building made for its trade

Install it on the server and on every player's game (your mod manager adds Jötunn). Works with Valheim 1.0.21, checked 30 October 2026. On Thunderstore, Hexium and Nexus Mods.

Join our Discord to see what's coming before it's out and vote on what gets built next. The people who make the mod answer questions there too.

Found a bug or have an idea? Press Report a problem in the camp's window, or post in #bug-reports on our Discord.

At a glance

Settlers move in, get homes and jobs, and build their huts piece by piece. Each hut is a Viking building made for its trade and grows through five levels, from thatch to grausten. The colony grows with your journey: the Forsaken's trophies raise the camp from level 1 to 5, and its fire grows from a fire pit to a bonfire where everyone gathers.

Guards and archers in Watchtowers defend the colony, and the alarm calls everyone in. Settlers fight off Necks, Boars and Greylings themselves and run from anything stronger. A Storehouse and its couriers carry the colony's goods, and its Needs tab says what to bring. A Mead Hall and its cook roast the colony's meat (nothing burns) and serve hot breakfasts.

Settlers eat, sleep, chat, shoot at targets, play board games, dance and have moods, and it all works in multiplayer. Your own benches, chests and torches stay on a hut through its upgrades. In a world with No build cost, buildings go up and level up at once (creative mode).
