How to Add Mods to Your Valheim Server ​

Valheim mods are based on the BepInEx framework, which is already pre-installed on your server.

Warning

Stop your server before adding mods. After a game update, mods may be incompatible and cause crashes.

  1. Download mods
    Download the desired mods from Thunderstore or Nexus Mods.

  2. Stop the server
    Stop your server via the dashboard.

  3. Connect via SFTP
    Connect to your server via SFTP.

  4. Upload mod files
    Extract the mod and upload the .dll file(s) to the following directory:

    /BepInEx/plugins/
    /BepInEx/plugins/

    Example

    /BepInEx/plugins/
├── ValheimPlus.dll
├── EpicLoot.dll
└── BetterArchery.dll
    /BepInEx/plugins/
├── ValheimPlus.dll
├── EpicLoot.dll
└── BetterArchery.dll

  5. Start the server
    Start your server.

Important

All players must have the same mods installed locally to join the server. Players need to install BepInEx and the mods in their local Valheim directory as well.

Note

Some mods automatically create configuration files under /BepInEx/config/ on first startup. You can adjust these to customize the mods to your liking.
