BossGate

BossGate

Control the pace of your Valheim server.
Unlock bosses by game day, force the boss order and let ores through portals only after the right boss is dead.
All set by the server, changed live in-game.

> ## 📢 BossGate will no longer be updated > Every BossGate feature, and much more (including more progression options), is now in Ultimate QOL. > If you are setting up a new server, use Ultimate QOL. BossGate keeps working as it is, but it will not get new features or fixes.

✨ Features

• 📅 Unlock bosses by game day: "Bonemass from day 20". One setting per boss, from Eikthyr to Kall Fimbulbringer.
• 🏆 Mandatory boss order: The Elder only after Eikthyr, Bonemass only after The Elder... no skipping ahead.
• 🌀 Ores through portals after the boss: kill Bonemass and iron can travel by portal at once. Copper, tin, iron, silver, black metal, flametal, dragon eggs and even Hildir's chests, each released by its own boss.
• 👤 World or personal progress: a kill counts for the whole server, or only for the players who took part in it, in this world.
• 🔒 Master lock: close every boss altar with one switch.
• 🛠️ Its own in-game panel (bossgate_config): every setting explained, live examples and tables for admins; the bosses' status and the portal items for every player.
• ⚡ Live and server-controlled: the server's settings apply to every player and changes reach everyone instantly. No restart, no relog.
• 🌍 15 languages, clear on-screen messages, and the offering is never consumed when a summon is blocked.

Every rule is off by default: install it and turn on only what you want.

⚙️ Optional: Ultimate SCM

BossGate works with Ultimate Server Configuration Manager (Ultimate SCM), a panel for the settings of all your BepInEx mods. Since 1.1.3 it is no longer a dependency: install it yourself (server and every client) if you want it.
