ValheimAnonymous

A BepInEx 5 Harmony mod that hides player identity across all UI surfaces for anonymous roleplay servers. Players must discover each other through in-game encounters — not menus, maps, or metadata.

Features

All features are enabled by default and individually configurable.

Identity

Hide player names above heads — recognize others by gear and appearance
Hide Steam names in chat — character names only
Hide crafter names from item tooltips
Hide owner names on beds, wards, and tombstones (your own still visible)

Player Lists

Hide F2 panel entries and peer count
Hide ESC menu player list — no way to see who's online
Hide SteamIDs from the F2 panel

Map & Communication

Block all pings — map markers and world-space indicators
Cap shout range to 100m — village-sized, not server-wide (yellow text preserved)
Configurable normal chat range — default 100m (vanilla 15m)
Suppress join/leave messages — no login notifications
Force-disable position sharing and hide the map toggle
Hide player position markers on the map

Map Discoveries

Hide trader, Hildir, and bog witch map icons when discovered
Hide raid/event pins that reveal base locations

Configuration

Config file: BepInEx/config/com.valheim.anonymous.cfg

Installation

Install BepInExPack Valheim
Drop ValheimAnonymous.dll into BepInEx/plugins/
Launch the game

Install on both server and all clients for full coverage.

Compatibility

Valheim 0.221.12+ (tested on 0.221.12)
BepInEx 5.4
AzuExtendedPlayerInventory — automatically hides the player dropdown (soft dependency, works without it)
Does not use Jotunn (no version sync enforced)

Server Notes

Patches include dedicated server guards where needed
Player UIDs are never modified — kick/ban and permissions work normally
Only display-layer data is changed — no gameplay mechanics are altered

Server Enforcement (v1.7.0+)

When a client connects to a server, the server's config values override the client's local config values. This prevents clients from editing their own config to bypass anonymity features.

Toggle is ServerConfigLocked (server-side, default true)
Admins edit BepInEx/config/com.valheim.anonymous.cfg on the server to control settings for the whole crew
Client edits have no effect while connected to a locked server
Does NOT kick players without the mod installed — coordinate your rollout so everyone updates together
