MidnightMods Valcon Demo

This is a small modpack to demo some of the mods that I have made, each of my included mods will be described below.

The demo world also features some fun building and various challenges you can try out.

Demo World

The demo world contains customized recipes with biome based currency that can be earned by challenging fights summoned from the alters of challenge at the end of each biomes hall.

Even if you do not desire to fight anything you are welcome to join, and have a look around.

Valheim Armory

This mod adds 107 new weapons. This includes:

• 14 new arrows/bolts
• 6 new crossbows/bows
• 15 new swords/greatswords
• 13 new axes/greataxes/dualaxes
• 11 new sledges/maces
• 9 new atgeirs
• 5 new shields
• 19 new knives/dualknives
• 1 new spear
• 4 new fists
• 9 new magic/bloodmagic items

While not all of the weapon lines are complete, I regularly add items with the goal of completing all weapons progression lines from the start of the game to the end. If there is a weapon playstyle you like, I want to ensure you can use it the whole game.

You will see many of the weapons from this mod dispersed among each of the biome specific halls in the demo world.

Valheim Fortress

This mod is based around the concept of defeating waves of enemies in exchange for loot. This was inspired by the "Fearsome Foes!" blogpost. Irongate talked about a concept called "Fortress Time!". Which while exciting, was not what I was hoping for. So I built Valheim Fortress, around the concept that all of our viking fortresses don't get much use, but they could.

In this modpack you will see these additions from the portals at the end of each biomes hallway.

Valheim Fortress features three primary ways to fight waves of enemies.

• Shrine of Challenge - Enemies spawn outside of your build radius and attack you.
• Shrine of the Arena - Enemies spawn on a central platform, perfect for setting up arena fights.
• Shrine of the wild - Sacrifice trophies to spawn enemies

Below is an example of how the wildshrine works.

Deathlink

This mod was created to solve the gap between hardcore deaths and soft death modifiers. Instead of death causing you to loose everything or simply drop it in a grave, adds a progression based item saving system.

In this modpack Deathlink is configured to save your equipment, but saving of your demo world currency is based on chance and progression. Death in battle still means something, but you won't be starting over each time you die.

Recipe Manager

This mod allows manipulation of the cost to build or craft things. You can use it to add custom recipes, modify existing ones or remove/disable things.

In this modpack you will notice it has been used to set crafting recipes for each biomes level items to the chosen currency.

Recipe Manager allows the following modifications through simple yaml configuration.

• Add recipes
