PraetorisClient

PraetorisClient

PraetorisClient is the shared client-and-server mod for Praetoris-specific gameplay, creative-zone, administration, and network measurement features.

Requirements and integrations

• BepInEx is required.
• Jotunn is required.
• Epic Loot is required by the current build. PraetorisClient starts its Epic Loot extensions during plugin startup.
• ValheimRcon is optional. When present on the server, it receives the Server Chest commands.
• Shudnal ExtraSlots is optional. When present on a client, its items are included in creative inventory reports.
• VBNetTweaks is optional. When present, its ZDOQueueLimit supplies the socket metric queue budget.
• ValheimTracer is optional. A compatible server can issue tokens and receive uploaded network metric batches.
• AzuCraftyBoxes and Protective Wards are optional. When both are present, PraetorisClient prevents unpermitted players from using protected chest contents through AzuCraftyBoxes.

Features

Player features

Discord account linking

• Enter !link CODE in game chat to link a Valheim character to Discord.
• The server sends the code and player identity to the configured Praetoris bot endpoint.
• The result appears in game chat.
• The command name is configurable.

Cleanse Mead

• Adds Mead Base: Cleanse to the Mead Ketill.
• The recipe requires 6 Pukeberries, 1 Fresh Seaweed, and 1 Fragrant Bundle.
• One mead base ferments into six Cleanse Mead.
• Drinking it removes every other active status effect once. This includes beneficial and harmful effects.
• The mead leaves its own 120-second cooldown effect.

Server Chest

• Adds a buildable Server Chest for administrator deliveries.
• Alternate interact registers the chest to the player's current character.
• Each player can register only one Server Chest.
• Each registered chest can belong to only one player.
• Administrators can deliver items while the player is offline.
• Players can remove delivered items, but they cannot place items into the chest.
• The chest supports up to 64 item slots and saves its contents in the world.
• See the Server Chest command guide for delivery and lookup commands.

Creature Owner Ward

• Adds a Hammer > Misc piece made with 10 Core Wood.
• The piece assigns network ownership of nearby hostile creatures and bosses to a selected connected player.
• It does not tame creatures and does not provide normal ward protection.
• It excludes players, tamed creatures, and creatures in player-controlled factions.
• Use toggles the ward. Alternate use opens the owner-name input.
• Any connected player can use these ward controls. They are not limited to the piece creator or an administrator.
• Its hover text shows its state, selected owner, and radius.
• The default radius is 40 metres. The default update interval is 2 seconds.

World and display changes

• Automatically marks your ordinary wards on both maps with a banded shield icon. Includes disabled and distant wards, but excludes wards built by other players and special network or creature wards.
• Refreshes ward pins automatically, including after destruction or reconnecting. These pins are not shared through the cartography table or saved as manual pins. Requires the updated mod on the server and client. See ward map pin behavior and validation.
• Prevents building in selected Hildir locations, crypts, caves, and Mistlands Dvergr entrances.
• Prevents the specific attackerless water-impact damage applied to boats. Other boat damage still applies.
• Lets a ship creator set, change, or clear a helm password with alternate use at the helm.
• Restricts the helm and inventory of player-built boats to the builder by default. The builder can use both without a password.
• Other players must enter the builder's password at the helm or inventory once per boat. Their saved access permits both steering and inventory use, including after logout or a server restart. Password changes and clearing preserve saved access. Passengers can still board the ship.
• Stores a salted password verifier in the ship ZDO. Destroying the ship removes the password with the ZDO.
• Requires PraetorisClient on the server and all clients that can own boats. Boats without a recorded builder retain normal access unless password protected.
• Hides area damage numbers on building pieces and non-player damage numbers on trees and logs.
• Preserves player combat damage numbers. This display option does not change damage.

Surtling boat motor

• Lets the current ship driver press Left Shift to enable or disable an extra motor force.
• Consumes one Surtling Core from the ship inventory for five minutes of active motor use by default.
• Applies the motor force while rowing, reversing, or sailing. The force does not depend on wind direction.
• Shows the configured fuel item over the ship wind indicator. A red icon means that the motor is enabled but has no fuel.
• Synchronizes the enabled state and remaining fuel through the ship's network data.
• Requires PraetorisClient on the server and each client that can own ship physics.

Personal chest storage

• Expands the personal chest inventory to five columns and two rows.
• Gives personal chests the same 10 inventory slots as wooden chests.
