> 📦 Ultimate Server Configuration Manager is included as a dependency (Igao-Ultimate_Server_Configuration_Manager-1.0.3). Install this package with your mod manager and it is installed automatically, together with BepInExPack_Valheim. You do not need to download it separately.

Looking for a real-time config manager? An in-game .cfg editor for Valheim mods, a server configuration panel for dedicated servers and hosts, a mod settings menu you open with F1 or from the ESC menu, live config sync to every player with no server restart (when the mod supports it), admin-only controls, and a panel translated into 15 languages. It works with any BepInEx mod, and with mods that use ServerSync or Jotunn.

A universal settings panel for Valheim. It shows the configs of all installed BepInEx mods, explains each one using the mod's own comment (with a button to translate it into your Valheim language), and syncs everything with the server.

> Install on the server and on all clients.

What a player sees — by default everything is hidden until the admin releases it:

Installation

• Install through a mod manager (Thunderstore Mod Manager, r2modman, etc.). Ultimate Server Configuration Manager 1.0.3 is included as a dependency and comes along automatically; the panel itself is that mod.
• It must be installed on the server AND all clients.
• Requires BepInExPack_Valheim (also installed automatically).

How to open

• ESC → "Mod Settings" (a button added to the pause menu), or
• F1 (configurable in Panel hotkey). ConfigurationManager also uses F1 by default: change the key of one of the two.
• ESC closes the panel (if a search is typed, the first ESC press clears the search).
• The window remembers where you left off: position, size (drag the top to move it and the bottom-right corner to resize it), last opened mod, collapsed sections, and filters. Center window resets it to the default.

Shortcuts

| Key | Action | |---|---| | F1 | opens/closes | | Ctrl+F | jumps to search | | Enter | applies the typed value | | Ctrl+Z | undoes the last change (outside text fields) | | Ctrl+S | applies the draft | | ESC | closes the confirmation → cancels the note → clears the search → closes the panel |

Sync rules

| Situation | What happens | |---|---| | Player joins the server | Immediately receives the server's values for the configs of all mods the server has. | | Config Hidden (default) | The player doesn't see it. The server value is enforced and only admins change it. The player's .cfg is not overwritten. | | Config View only | The player sees it but cannot change it. The server value is enforced. | | Config Can edit | Each player uses and changes their own value. | | Admin changes something | The server validates it, saves it, and sends only what changed to everyone. | | Owner edits the .cfg on the server while it is running | The server reloads the file and syncs everyone (checked every 60 s; changes made in the panel are instant). | | Player leaves the server | All configs go back to their local value. | | Mod that only the player has | Stays local (the server doesn't know about it). | | Mod that only the server has | The admin can see and edit it in the panel even without having the mod. | | Mod that already uses ServerSync / Jotunn / ConditionalConfigSync | Ultimate SCM does not enforce values (the mod does that itself); admin changes are sent to the server. | | Server without Ultimate SCM | Everything works as a local panel. |

Who is an admin: anyone listed in the server's adminlist.txt (the same admins as devcommands). In single-player, you are an admin. Admin tools only turn on after you type devcommands in the console (F5): until then even an admin sees the panel as a normal player (hidden configs don't show, locked ones are read-only). Turn off Admin needs devcommands to drop this requirement. On a server, Ultimate SCM's own options follow the same rule: players only see/change them if the admin releases them (in the main menu everyone can always change their own hotkey and language).
