Valheim Plus on a dedicated server

Source checked 29 Sept 2026; game-version match unverified.Project docsOfficial

Valheim Plus (V+) is a gameplay-tweaking mod that runs on BepInEx. It is not official: Iron Gate has no official mod support (Valheim 1.0 FAQ).

Which V+ is maintained

Original project Grantapher fork
Repository valheimPlus/ValheimPlus Grantapher/ValheimPlus
Latest release 0.9.9.11, 2022-12-07 0.10.2.0, 2026-09-20 (“New Deep North Settings and Bug Fixes”)
Last activity we saw last push 2023-03-26 last push 2026-09-20
Says it is The original “The temporary home of the mod while the mod owners are unable to update the official repo”

Sources: the two repositories and the fork’s INSTALL.md, read 2026-09-29. The fork appends “(Grantapher)” to the title screen to show it is not the official mod.

Tested versions

The fork’s COMPATIBILITY.md says to assume any combination it does not list does not work. For Valheim 1.0 it lists, as working:

Valheim 1.0.16, announced 2026-09-25, is not in the list we read, and neither is BepInExPack 5.4.2351. So we cannot say V+ 0.10.2.0 works with the current game. For older versions, the project lists Microsoft Store (“Xbox on PC”) builds separately and marks several of them as not thoroughly tested.

Installing on a server

From the fork’s INSTALL.md:

  1. Download the archive that matches your setup from the latest release. The release provides WindowsServer and UnixServer archives (and Renamed variants).
  2. Hosted server: if your host installs V+ automatically it may install a version that is broken with the current game. In that case use an archive with Renamed in its name: the only difference is the file name ValheimPlusGrantapher.dll, so the host does not overwrite it, and BepInEx picks the newest of the two.
  3. Unix: the installation comes with two extra files; the project points you to the “Configuration (Linux” section of the BepInExPack_Valheim page for those steps. See also our BepInEx page.
  4. Copy the archive contents into the game (server) folder, overwriting existing files.
  5. Start the game or server once, then exit; this generates the config file.
  6. Configure it and start again.

Verify the install from the title screen or the logs. According to the fork, the current release should show Valheim 1.0.15 (n-40), BepInEx 5.4.23.5, BepInExPack_Valheim 5.4.2350 and V+ 0.10.2.0.

Configuration file

The config file is BepInEx/config/org.bepinex.plugins.valheim_plus.cfg (BepInEx\config\... on Windows), created the first time the game or server starts (README). For a server, only the server’s config file needs setting up by default (README).

Version enforcement and config sync

Crossplay and consoles

Consoles cannot run mods, and the sources say nothing about modded Crossplay servers: see crossplay.
