QoL Adventure Server
Server-side companion to QoL Adventure: only the mods a dedicated Valheim server needs (skills, backpacks, portals, crafting). Excludes client-only mods like the clock and achievements. Built on Jotunn.QoL Adventure Server
The server-side companion to QoL Adventure. Install this on your dedicated server alongside the client pack on everyone's game.
Why a separate pack
Valheim runs a lot of gameplay logic (skills, carry weight, combat) on the connecting client, not the server — but most of these mods still need to be installed on the server too, either to enforce their locked config across every player or because they'd otherwise kick a client whose mod set doesn't match. A few mods in the client pack are pure client-side conveniences (a HUD clock, achievement unlocking, recipe markers) that do nothing on a headless server, so they're left out here to keep the server clean.
What's included
Framework
| Mod | Version | Why it's here |
|---|---|---|
| BepInExPack Valheim by denikson | 5.4.2350 | Framework — required wherever any mod runs. |
| Jotunn by ValheimModding | 2.30.0 | API dependency for most of the mods below. |
Skills
| Mod | Version | Why it's here |
|---|---|---|
| ImpactfulSkills by MidnightMods | 0.16.1 | Tagged Server-side + Client-side; enforces its locked skill config. |
| Vitality by Smoothbrain | 1.1.3 | "Can be installed on a server, to enforce the configuration." |
| Dual Wield by Smoothbrain | 1.0.10 | Author: "make sure to install this mod on the server as well, to enforce the servers configuration." |
| Fermenting by blacks7ar | 1.1.8 | Tagged Server-side + Client-side; uses ServerSync for its config. |
| SkillFloors by Armikur | 1.2.2 | Tagged Server-side + Client-side; ServerSync for the floor progress rate. |
Gameplay & QoL
| Mod | Version | Why it's here |
|---|---|---|
| Backpacks by Smoothbrain | 1.3.8 | Adds items — must match on server and client, or they don't sync correctly. |
| BackpacksValheim1Compat by ADARC | 1.0.4 | Author: "install the same package set on a dedicated server and every joining client." |
| PortalMap by korCaptain | 0.1.84 | Portal access modes are stored server-side (in the ZDO). |
| AdjustablePortals by MidnightMods | 0.4.0 | Tagged Server-side + Client-side; gates portal activation/teleport rules. |
| AzuCraftyBoxes by Azumatt | 1.8.19 | Version-checks with itself and kicks clients that don't match if it's on the server. |
| DetailedLevels by turbero | 2.1.3 | Tagged Server-side + Client-side; cheap to include for config consistency. |
| SpearFix by coemt | 0.0.4 | Changes weapon stats — keeping it server-side avoids client/server desync. |
| MaxPlayerCount by Azumatt | 1.2.5 | Raises the player cap above vanilla's 10 (default doubles it to 20). Server-only — not in the client pack at all; author: "only required to be installed on the server." |
Left out of this pack (client-only)
- CraftMeOnce — author calls it "a client mod."
- AzuClock — pure HUD clock, no gameplay effect.
- Unshamed — author: "client side only, nothing syncs, nothing is needed on the server."
Installation
Install on your dedicated server's BepInEx plugins/config folders (or via a mod manager profile pointed at the server install). Every player also needs the QoL Adventure client pack — the two are meant to be used together, not standalone.
Config
Ships with the same config values as the client pack for every shared mod. Notable tuning:
| Mod | Change |
|---|---|
| AzuCraftyBoxes | Leave One Item on (default off), so a chest keeps one item behind for auto-stacking mods to target. |
| AdjustablePortals | Building-piece requirement to activate a portal turned off (EnablePortalPieceRequirements true → false). TeleportTamesMaxCount 5 → 3. Cart teleport turned off (EnableTeleportCarts true → false). |
| ImpactfulSkills | Hauling max carry-weight bonus at level 100 raised to 150 (default 50). |
| ImpactfulSkills | Swimming eased at low level: speed and stamina bonuses now scale from level 0 (SwimSpeedRequiredLevel 25 → 0, SwimStaminaReductionLevel 50 → 0), SwimSkillGainRate 1 → 1.5. Level-100 ceilings unchanged. |
| Fermenting | Exp Loss on death 0 → 5, matching Vitality/Dual Wield's default (SkillFloors already protects the permanent floor). |
| PortalMap | Enable portal browser panel turned off — the sidepanel has no English translation. |
