WorldCrawler
Rebuild a server world locally without admin access or access to its world files.Valheim World Crawler 
World Crawler lets you capture selected regions of a server world, recreate that world locally as an initially empty world, then restore the exported regions. It captures buildings, chests, and terrain modifications. The mod is client-only: you do not need to be a server admin or have access to the server's save files.
Why?
Sometimes, a world is simply too good to lose:
- A dedicated server admin disappears overnight or decides to move on from the project.
- A public or community server is about to shut down or be wiped, and players want to keep a local copy of their bases and builds.
- Players want to continue the adventure in Singleplayer, without having to rely on the server being online.
Controls
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| F8 | Start or stop recording received world data. |
| F9 | At the main menu, prepare a local world from the latest recording. |
| F10 | Start or stop restoration around you. |
| Alt + map click | Teleport to the clicked location when EnableCheats is enabled. |
Settings
Using cheats can make recording and restoration easier, but it is not required.
| Setting | Default | Effect |
|---|---|---|
EnableCheats |
false |
Enables god mode, ghost mode, cold immunity, unlimited stamina, and Alt + map click teleportation. |
⚠️ It may be detected as cheating by the server, potentially resulting in a ban. Use it responsibly and get the server owner's permission first.
How to use
1. Record the areas you want to export
- Join the source world and press F8, then travel through every area you want to keep. Players and creatures are ignored.
- Green map rectangles are saved; amber rectangles are in progress.
- Press F8 again and wait for the final save confirmation before closing the game.
- Exported world data is stored in
BepInEx/config/WorldCrawler/worlds/<world name>_<UID>.
2. Create the world locally
- Press F9 at the main menu. If no local world matches the latest recording, it shows the exact name and seed to use.
- Create the world in Valheim, make sure the world is saved locally, not in the cloud, then press F9 again.
- Join the new world. Its UID now matches the server world's UID, but the world is still empty at this stage.
- You should now see the same discovered areas on the map as in the original world.
3. Restore the recorded areas
- Press F10 in the new world, then revisit the recorded areas to populate them from the exported files.
- Green zones are restored; amber zones are not restored yet.
- Press F10 again to stop restoration and perform the final save.
