A server-side umbrella mod for V Rising dedicated servers — a host of independent, admin-toggleable quality-of-life enhancements and structural fixes.
Pre-1.0 — in active development. Test it first; don't roll it out broadly on a busy live server until you've vetted it yourself. Uriel is pre-release and evolving quickly. The features below are implemented and tested in local and dedicated development/test-server environments — not yet on a live production server. This is a server-side mod still under development: by running it you are helping test it, and you take that risk on yourself. Please back up your server save before adding any new mod, and ideally trial Uriel on a test server (or a quiet plot) first. Commands, config keys, and behavior may still change before 1.0.
Every feature is independently toggleable. If any one component feels
unstable, you can turn just that part off in the config (each feature has its
own Enabled switch) and keep using the rest — you never have to disable Uriel
wholesale. See the per-section notes below and the Configuration table.
Found a bug or have an idea? The fastest way to get a fix into the next release is the The Shadow Realm Discord — that's the primary bug-report and feedback channel. Written-up GitHub issues are welcome too.
Repo: https://github.com/KDavidP1987/Uriel-Lord-of-Hosts Status: pre-1.0 public testing · server-side only · several feature groups live today, more sub-mods planned under the Uriel umbrella.
Uriel is never all-or-nothing: every feature ships behind its own config switch, and all sharing/editing is per-object opt-in — nothing is ever shared or changed server-wide on your behalf.
Bring world objects the build menu never offers into your castle — resource
nodes, world chests, breakable crates and urns, and decorative props from across
the map (GloomRot, Cursed Forest, dungeons, ruins). Spawn one at your aim point —
or at your own location with the here flag (handy from a UI button) — inside
your own plot; it's indestructible and decay-proof by default, and you
move/rotate/remove it with .uriel move / .uriel rotate / .uriel despawn.
If an object sits floating or half-buried, nudge its height with .uriel raise
/ .uriel lower — or, as an admin, set a permanent per-object correction with
.uriel objcfg <object> yoffset <metres> so it always sits flush.
Everything you place persists across restarts and is cleaned up automatically —
during play, within a couple of minutes — if its castle is ever abandoned or
destroyed (and you can't keep building on a plot you've given up).
Choose how durable it is with optional spawn flags: breakable (raids and
decay can destroy it), smashable (you can destroy it by hand too), or
respawn (it automatically comes back after being destroyed — until its castle
is gone or you .uriel despawn it). Mix them, e.g. .uriel spawn <object> 0 smashable respawn.
Collect them by playing (Discovery mode). You unlock an object by destroying
one in the world — chop a tree, smash a crate, break an ore vein — with an
admin-set chance to "learn" it. .uriel unlocks shows your collection and
percentage; .uriel catalog browses everything that exists; .uriel notify on|off
toggles the unlock messages. Roughly half of all objects can't be destroyed — those
unlock when you hit 100% collection, defeat Dracula (finish the game), or per
boss via an admin-curated map. Admins choose the model (or turn it off), can set a
build cost, block specific objects, and grant objects directly.
How it's managed: spawned world objects are placed and moved with the .uriel
commands above, not the vanilla build menu (an engine limitation — the game won't let
arbitrary world objects be selected in build mode). The optional Raphael companion
mod (formerly BloodCraftHub) can present a point-and-click palette UI.
Admins can put rules on player spawning. Set a per-object or global limit on how
many of an object fit on one plot, an item cost to build it, and whether players may
make it indestructible or auto-respawning — .uriel objcfg <object> max 3,
.uriel objcfg <object> cost 100 <itemId>, .uriel objcfgglobal … for the defaults,
.uriel objcfglist to review. Admins themselves are never restricted.
🧪 Pre-1.0 guidance & quick tips (Object Spawning)
.uriel despawn it to be safe — don't leave it sitting there —
and please report it so it can be blocked.ObjectSpawn.PreventOverlap). Offset things
slightly instead..uriel block <guid> (or by configuring their server). Blocked prefabs vanish
from the catalog and can't be spawned.ObjectSpawn.AdminOnly=true keeps spawning
to admins; open it to players once you're comfortable. You can also disable this whole feature
(ObjectSpawn.Enabled=false) and keep the rest of Uriel.Mark a specific chest as publicly accessible so anyone on the server can use it — community chests, donation boxes, free-stuff stashes, even paid vending boxes. Always owner-controlled; nothing is shared unless its owner shares it. Shares survive server restarts.
Sharing rules (set by aiming at your shared container):
Public prison cells (separate switch) — share a prison cell to let anyone
tend your prisoner: feed and extract blood through the normal cell UI, and take
the prisoner home with .uriel takeprisoner (they're subdued and released to
the taker — bring Dominating Presence to escort them). The game's own subdue
button only ever appears for the cell's own clan (an engine limitation), so the
command covers everyone else.
Heads-up for players accessing a share: when a chest or cell is first made public, a player trying to use it may need to log out and back in once before their client recognizes it as accessible. After that initial relog, it behaves like any other container you can open.
🧪 Pre-1.0 guidance (Public Storage): sharing is always per-container, owner opt-in —
nothing is shared unless someone shares it, so the blast radius is small. Trial it on a few
containers first. Chest sharing and prison-cell sharing have separate switches
(PublicStorage.Enabled / PublicStorage.PrisonEnabled), so you can enable one and not the
other. Found an issue? Report it on Discord and, if needed, flip the switch off — your
containers simply go back to private.
.uriel removestairs deletes a staircase you own without
tearing apart the floors and walls it's attached to (something a normal
dismantle can't cleanly do).🧪 Pre-1.0 guidance (Stair Editing): restyling rebuilds the staircase on the spot
(destroy + respawn in the new style); position, rotation, and ownership are preserved. As
with any pre-1.0 feature, try it on a spare staircase first. If a stray "ghost" stair is ever
left behind, an admin can clean it with .uriel stairpurge. You can disable the whole feature
with StairSwap.Enabled=false.
Uriel is a server-side mod — install it on your V Rising dedicated server, not on player clients. Players need nothing installed.
BepInEx/plugins/.Uriel.dll into BepInEx/plugins/.BepInEx/config/kdpen.Uriel.cfg, then edit and restart as needed.Stop the server before replacing
Uriel.dll— a running server file-locks the DLL.
| Mod | Version | Role |
|---|---|---|
| BepInExPack V Rising | 1.733.2 | Loader (hard dependency) |
| VampireCommandFramework | 0.10.x | Chat-command framework (hard dependency) |
Optional companion (not a dependency): the client-side mod
Raphael (formerly
BloodCraftHub) is designed to work alongside Uriel — players who install it on their own
client can drive Uriel's features from in-game UI panels and buttons instead of typing.
It is not required: like any server-side mod, every Uriel feature works fully
through the .uriel chat commands, with or without Raphael.
All commands are chat commands prefixed with .uriel. Type .uriel for a quick
overview, or .uriel help for a clean, topic-by-topic menu (objects /
storage / stairs / admin). Most targeted commands also accept a trailing
nearest token to act on the closest object to you instead of where you're
aiming — handy when a menu or UI panel has your aim ray pointing elsewhere
(e.g. .uriel share nearest, .uriel stairswap stone2 nearest).
Players (active when ObjectSpawn.AdminOnly=false; you must be inside your own castle plot):
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
.uriel spawn <name|guid> [rot 0-3] [flags…] |
Place an object you've unlocked at your aim point. Flags (any order, after the rotation): breakable (raid/decay), smashable (you can break it too), respawn (auto-returns until castle gone / despawned), here (place at YOUR location), indestructible (default) |
.uriel move [here] / .uriel rotate [0-3] / .uriel despawn |
Move (to your aim, or here = your location) / turn / remove the nearest object you spawned |
.uriel raise [m] / .uriel lower [m] |
Nudge the nearest object you spawned up / down so it sits flush with the ground (default 0.25m) |
.uriel unlocks |
Your collected objects + collection % |
.uriel catalog [page] |
Browse the full world-object catalog |
.uriel findprefab <text> |
Search objects by name |
.uriel notify <on|off> |
Toggle your object-unlock chat messages |
In Discovery mode you unlock objects by destroying them in the world; the non-destructible ones unlock on full collection, boss defeats, or admin grant.

Uriel is an umbrella mod — the plan is to keep adding small, independently toggleable server-side sub-mods. Tentative and subject to change; full list (incl. large-scope ideas) in the roadmap.
Planned next:
Bigger ideas being explored: plot expansion (separate-instance phase gates or map copy/paste), a PvP-arena V Blood boss mode with prize tables, paid area-gating for mazes, scheduled/paid door & teleport controls, more castle decor assets, triggered NPC spawns, and basement levels.
Have a feature you'd like to see in the host? Bring it to the Discord.
Developed and tested locally and on dedicated development/test servers — it has not yet been run on a live production server, which is exactly why it's pre-1.0 (see the heads-up at the top). It comes out of the V Rising community The Shadow Realm (Brutal PvE), maintained by Chaos, whose Discord is the home for Uriel testing and feedback. As a pre-1.0 mod, bug reports and feedback are hugely valued — and the people who help test now shape what 1.0 becomes.
Uriel stands on the shoulders of the V Rising modding community. Big thanks to:
