HardHeim
Death is only the beginning.HardHeim
Odin's world, just brutal.
HardHeim is a Valheim difficulty mod built with BepInEx and Jötunn. It makes progression more demanding through heavier copper ore, a custom death penalty for skills, and dark crypts that require a handheld light source.
Features
- Copper Ore Weight: Configure the weight of copper ore on the server.
- Custom Death Penalty: Skills below level 50 use percentage-based loss; skills from level 50 use fixed reductions, with a smaller reduction at level 60 and above.
- Dark Crypts and Caves: Ambient lighting, environmental light, fog, and dungeon light sources are disabled indoors, making handheld lighting necessary for exploration.
- Enhanced Handheld Lights: Player torches and Dvergr lanterns have greater light intensity and range while inside dark interiors.
- Lighting Note: Camera zoom can affect the perceived brightness and range of handheld lights because Valheim adjusts light detail based on distance.
- Server Synchronization: Configuration is synchronized to clients, and every player must have the mod installed.

The easiest way to install HardHeim is using a mod manager like r2modman or the Thunderstore Mod Manager.
