⚔️ The Viking's Journey

A relaxed, beginner-friendly Valheim modpack — quality of life without complexity.

🗺️ Which version am I looking at?

Version	Purpose
🖥️ Server Version	Dedicated server setup. Pre-configured and ready out of the box.
🪓 Minimum Version	Lightweight client — only the essential mods to join the server.
✅ Maximum Version (you are here)	Full client experience with every mod permitted by the anti-cheat system.

📖 About the Modpack

The Viking's Journey keeps Valheim feeling like Valheim. The world, progression, combat, and crafting all stay exactly as the developers intended. No overhauls, no difficulty changes — just a wide range of quality-of-life improvements that make exploration, building, and progression more comfortable and immersive.

The only notable gameplay addition is a craftable backpack, which provides a bit of extra carrying capacity without disrupting the game's natural balance.

🛡️ Anti-Cheat & Fair Play

A key focus of this modpack is accessibility — especially when playing with friends on a server. The Viking's Journey ships with a fully pre-configured anti-cheat system developed by the legendary modder Azumatt, ensuring a fair and consistent experience for everyone right out of the box.

✅ No complicated setup or manual configuration required
✅ Whitelisted mod (required) configs are enforced by the server
✅ Greylisted mods (Optional) can be freely added, configured, or removed

Note: Whitelisted (required) mods must remain installed. The server checks that clients only use mods from the whitelist or greylist.

🔧 Installation

Download the modpack via r2modman or the Thunderstore Mod Manager.
Launch Valheim once with the modpack active.
Open the profile folder: Settings → All → Browse Profile Folder
Navigate to BepInEx → config.
Edit the FastLink file (Azumatt.FastLink_servers.yml):
- Enter your server name, password, IP address, and port.

⚙️ Server-Side Configuration

Almost all mod settings can be configured on the server and will automatically apply to all connected clients. You generally only need to configure things once — on the server.

The only exceptions are mods without server-side settings. Those need to be adjusted by each player individually, or configured by the server admin and shared via profile code.

👥 Sharing the Modpack with Friends

Players can set up their FastLink file themselves, or the server admin can handle it for everyone. If you want your friends to get the correct settings without any manual setup, export your configured profile as a code and share it:

Click Settings
Click Profile
Click Export Profile as Code
Share the code with your friends
Have fun! ⚔️
