At a glance
- Nine tabs covering items, creatures, bosses, your character, the world, other players, server status, settings, and 32 optional server modules.
- Server-validated. Every action that touches the world or another player is checked on the server against
adminlist.txt. Non-admins get buttons that do nothing. - Single-player and dedicated servers. In single-player you are the host and automatically an admin.
- Mod-aware. Items and creatures from other installed mods show up automatically.
- Nine languages, in-game hotkey rebinding, persistent settings.
Quick start
Requirements: BepInEx for Valheim (denikson BepInExPack_Valheim). With r2modman or Thunderstore Mod Manager, just install this package.
| Where | What to do |
|---|---|
| Your client (single-player or joining a server) | Copy AdminPanel.dll and AdminPanelCompanion.dll into BepInEx/plugins/. Launch the game and press F7. |
| Dedicated server | Copy AdminPanelCompanion.dll into the server's BepInEx/plugins/. Add each admin's SteamID64 to the server's adminlist.txt (Steam_<id>, V_<id> and the bare number all work). Restart the server. |
Both DLLs must be the same version on the client and the server. The Server tab tells you if they are not.
The tabs
| Tab | What you get |
|---|---|
| 🎁 Items | Every item with icons, live search and real stats (damage, armor, food values). Categories, favorites, recents. One-click gear kits from Bronze to Ashlands, bulk packs, and give straight into any player's inventory. |
| 🐗 Creatures | Spawn by faction with count and star level, at your crosshair, optionally pre-tamed with a pet name. Saved presets, undo last spawn, arena mode (A vs B). |
| ⚔ Bosses | One-click summons from Eikthyr to Fader, instant altar offerings, real raid events at your position. |
| 🏃 Player | God mode, ghost, fly, free build, no stamina, one-hit kill. Speed, jump and pickup sliders, skill +10 / max / reset, a categorized status-effect browser. Buffs persist through death. |
| 🌍 World | Time and weather control, wind for sailing, teleport bookmarks, quick-jump to boss altars, teleport to any map point (open the map, hover, press T). |
| 👥 Players | Live roster: teleport to, summon, spectate, heal, ping, lightning strike, live inventory viewer, kick / ban, per-player admin notes. |
| 📊 Server | Stats read from the server itself: ZDO count, per-peer ping, last-save and next-autosave clocks, the server's plugin roster, admin and ban lists, join / leave log, force save, offline ban / unban by ID. |
| ⚙ Settings | Language, font and size, panel opacity, logo header, camera lock, hotkey rebinding. All in-game, all persistent. |
| 🧰 Extras | 32 optional modules for dedicated-server admins, one chip each. See below. |
Extras: 32 server modules
Every module is a chip you switch on in the Extras tab. Everything that changes server behaviour is off by default and needs the companion on the server.
| Area | Modules |
|---|---|
| Moderation & accountability | Moderation (warn, mute, freeze, jail, watchlist, temp-ban, lockdown), audit trail, rap sheets, tiered admin roles, direct messages, staff chat, guard (anti-cheat flags, client-mod reports, dry-run mode) |
| Server operations | Server tools (MOTD, scheduled restarts, backups and staged restore), diagnostics and performance, Discord webhooks, client performance census |
| Players & economy | Player data and offline queues, economy and shops, trader stock editor, bounty board, death rules, skill gain rules |
| World & objects | Area tools and protection zones, build tools (piece editor, blueprints, terrain reset, free camera), location finder, spawner and nest manager, chest inspector, tame roster, creature editor, map pins, map reveal |
| Rules & content | Recipe and build blacklist, item forge, raid composer, macros and workflows, extensions SDK |
How the security works
This is a client mod, so the panel window opens for anyone who installs the DLL. No client mod can prevent that. What the companion protects is your server.
- Every action that touches the world or another player (spawn, give, teleport, kick, ban, heal, inventory, broadcasts, world events, skills, and every Extras module) is sent to the companion as a request and validated server-side against
adminlist.txt, using the game's own admin rules. - The companion re-stamps the true sender ID, so forged or spoofed requests are dropped and written to the audit log.
- Self-only toggles (god mode, fly, no stamina) run on the player's own client and are not server-validated. That is true of every Valheim client mod, because the game trusts clients for their own character. Pair with a server-side anticheat if you need to stop that too.
Languages
Ships with English, Deutsch, Español, Français, Italiano, Nederlands, Polski, Português (BR) and Svenska, following Valheim's language setting by default (override it under Settings → Language). Item and creature names always follow the game.
Want another language? Drop a <code>.txt into BepInEx/plugins/AdminPanel_Localization/. No rebuild needed, and untranslated lines fall back to English. Pull requests are welcome.
Compatibility
- Custom weapons, armor and creatures from other installed mods appear automatically. To spawn modded content on a dedicated server, that mod must also be installed server-side.
- Works alongside ValheimPlus and other BepInEx mods.
- Built against the current Valheim release. Both DLLs run a self-check at startup and report on the Server tab if a game update broke anything.
FAQ
The panel shows a version-mismatch banner. The client and server companion differ. Update AdminPanelCompanion.dll on the server (and both DLLs on the client) to the same release and restart.
I am in adminlist.txt but server actions say I am not an admin. Update to 2.5.3 or later. Older companions only matched the bare SteamID64 and rejected the Steam_ and V_ forms that hosting panels write.
Do I need the companion in single-player? Yes, both DLLs. You are the host there, so no adminlist entry is needed.
Extras shows "no reply from the companion". The server has no companion, an older one, or you are not an admin there. The Server tab shows which.
