CharacterVault

CharacterVault keeps your Valheim character on the server. When you join, the server loads its trusted copy, preventing items from being imported or duplicated with another save or a restored backup.

Features

• The server loads its latest trusted copy before your character enters the world; local saves still work normally.
• A status below the minimap shows when the character is saving and confirms when the save is complete.
• The server keeps up to 15 automatic backups per character.
• CharacterVault requires a new character when joining a server for the first time.
• A server integration can restore the latest compatible backup when no local server profile exists.
• CharacterVault supports crossplay servers.

Server-side mods can provide a verified character when it is not yet present on the current world. See the character restore provider integration guide.

When characters are saved

Characters are saved:

• after their first enrollment;
• during automatic and manual saves;
• when the player logs out, quits, or is disconnected by the server;
• before a graceful server stop or restart (when configured on the server).

Characters are not saved after a client crash or network loss because the connection is already unavailable.

Installation

CharacterVault is distributed as a standalone package. Install it on the dedicated server and on every connecting client; LandoriaModPack is not required.

Most of Landoria mods need to be installed also on the dedicated server, we show you in this video how to do it on windows:

Server configuration

Add these optional switches to the dedicated-server command line:

--charactervault-starting-items Prefab:Quantity,...	Gives the listed items once when a new character is enrolled.	No items

Graceful server stop and restart support is optional on dedicated servers and requires integration with the service that stops Valheim. See the graceful server stop and restart guide.
