Reforge CORE – Valheim Overhaul 7.3.0

This mod is part of the Reforge COR mod pack.

Krumpac Modding Discord

⚠️ DISCLAIMER – BETA ACCESS REQUIRED – READ FIRST!

This mod pack is currently in development and only available to members of our closed BETA community.

Without accepted membership, you can install the mod pack, but you will not be able to launch the game or load any mods.

No Paywall: We do not charge for access to the BETA. Being accepted into the closed community does not require Patreon or other financial support. Likewise, being part of the closed community does not obligate you to donate or back us financially.

Why is the BETA Closed? 🔒

We previously offered open access to everyone. Unfortunately, that approach led to:

• Unauthorized redistribution of our assets, including zipped versions being shared and even sold via platforms like Google Drive.
• Loss of control over our work.

To protect the project and the community:

• Access is now limited to approved members only.
• All BETA access is tied to verified SteamIDs to prevent abuse and unauthorized distribution.
• This system helps ensure we can focus on development, instead of chasing leaks or rebuilding compromised work.

We believe this is the fairest and most sustainable way to grow the project.

🔑 How to Apply for Closed BETA

Option 1 – Free Public Access (Random Selection) 🆓

1. Fill out the Krumpac Reforge Beta Tester Application
   (Links can be found on our Discord or other community pages.)
2. Wait for Monthly Selection
   We approve as many testers as possible each month. Please be patient!
3. Gain Whitelist Access
   Once approved, you’ll be able to launch the game and enjoy all Reforge Overhaul features.

To date, over 750 free keys have been distributed to our community.

💖 Option 2 – Want Instant Access or to Support the Project?

• BETA access is completely free for everyone! No one is forced to join or donate. The closed BETA does not require any financial support.
• However, if you’d like to skip the wait and help us deliver even more high-quality content, consider becoming a Patreon supporter.
• Your optional support directly contributes to:
  • Server costs
  • Asset licensing
  • Development tools
• Supporters may receive perks, including:
  • Early access during key drops
  • Sneak peeks or development previews
• We also give away 30 free Beta Keys every major release (roughly once a month) to non-Patreon community members to ensure everyone has a fair shot.
• To date, we have already given away over 750 free keys to our amazing community!

Reasoning: In earlier builds, some individuals downloaded our content and placed it behind their own paywalls. Our new, registration-based approach helps protect the community from unauthorized monetization of our mods.

🛡️ What is Reforge? A Completely New Experience!

Forget everything you know about gathering, crafting, cooking, hunting, building, and progressing in Valheim.
Reforge introduces new NPCs, quests, bosses, enemies, terrain, clutter, materials, resources, tools, weapons, foods, locations, and lore.

It’s more than a mod—it’s a new game, emphasizing:

• Exploration
• Strategic decision-making
• A more moderated pace
• Themes and legends from Norse mythology

⚡ The gods aren’t merely present in Valheim Reforged; they are active and, in some cases, interactive, as we have added a prayer system with Boons and Curses based on your dedication. Shrines are scattered across the map, each with their own icons.
