ScheduledMessages
A simple server-side BepInEx plugin for Valheim that broadcasts scheduled messages to all players, and sends a welcome message to each player when they connect.
No client-side installation required.
Features
- Broadcast messages to all players at specific times of day
- Send a welcome message to each player when they join
- Configurable welcome delay (to ensure the player is fully loaded in before the message appears)
- Live config reloading — edit the config file while the server is running and changes take effect immediately, no restart required
Manual Installation (if for some reason the package manager doesn't work)
- Install BepInEx 5.x on your Valheim server
- Copy
ScheduledMessages.dllintoBepInEx/plugins/ - Copy
scheduledmessages.cfgintoBepInEx/config/ - Start the server
Configuration
The config file lives at BepInEx/config/scheduledmessages.cfg.
# ScheduledMessages config
# timezone: UTC offset in hours
# e.g. 10 = AEST (Queensland)
# e.g. 11 = AEDT (NSW/VIC during daylight saving)
# e.g. -5 = EST (US Eastern)
timezone=10
# welcome: message sent to each player after they connect
# leave blank or remove this line to disable
welcome=Welcome! Server restarts at 12am and 5am (AEST).
# welcome-delay: seconds to wait after connection before sending the welcome message
# a delay is recommended to ensure the player is fully loaded in
welcome-delay=30
# Scheduled messages: HH:mm <message text> (24 hour time, one per line)

- Times are in 24-hour format
- The timezone offset is applied to UTC, so set it to match your server's local time
