Sagas of Niflheim

Sagas of Niflheim is a series of modpacks that focuses on incremental progression, and bridging the gap between light QoL changes and heavily modded gameplay.

The Second Saga

This season focuses on an immersive No-Map experience with many QoL changes to make the No Map experience less tedious and encourage continual progression.

No Map QoL

• No map is enabled
• Interacting with a vegvisir (boss stone) will send tracking pulses to its destination
• The map can be accessed at a map table, only if built in a large base

Portals

• Portals require a large base to activate

Digging

• Terrain can't be raised, but can be lowered a bit more than normal

Server Character Progression Enforcement

• Character progression is saved serverside
• Items brought into the server are automatically removed
• Mods not in the mod list will get you kicked

Death Changes

• Deathlink gives class specific bonuses, and ensures you always keep your equipment when you die. Most other items are lost on death, no need to backtrack.

Progressive Difficulty

• Valhalla Eternal offers deity boons in exchange for offerings and agreeing to oaths that increase difficulty

Key Mod Concepts

Valhalla Eternal

• Offer tribute to the Gods and Goddesses of norse mythology
• Swear oaths to the gods to increase difficulty, gain useful abilities and show off to your friends

Expand World Size

• Increases the worlds size (this modpack runs a 2x world)

MoreWorldLocations

• Many new locations
• New mechanics, new merchants

Epicloot

• Gather materials and items from creatures
• Identify piles of loot into useful gear!
• Hunt bounties and treasure chests throughout the world

Deathlink

• Configure death options for all of your players
• Provides a death progression system

StarLevelSystems

• Enemies gain power gradually with stars and affixes. Each star is a small power increase, a number by the stars is displayed when there are many stars (for example,⭐6 means the mob has 6 stars); affixes change one property of an enemy.

ImpactfulSkills

• Makes skills become more powerful as you level them up. AOE gathering, more resources harvested, faster movement, more damage, less stamina cost.

NoMapTools

• Adds a ping that lasts for a few minutes after interacting with a vegvisir
• Requires cartography table to be built in a large base to be useful

AdjustablePortals

• Makes portals require a significantly sized base to be functional
• Allows players to take more more items through portals based on boss progression

Server Rules

No racism, sexism, bigotry, or hate speech of any kind. No NSFW or NSFL content.

Respect your fellow vikings, we’re all here to have a good time and enjoy the game. Please do not do things in the game that would grief another player, specifically:

• Do not terraform or build near boss areas; if you find a boss area that has been wrecked, visit niflheim-request-admin-help to have it repaired.
• Do not leave workbenches or other builds on or near resources that will reset; they block locations from resetting. You can make repair stations but take them down after you use them. You can also just make an outpost on the same island as the dungeons, just don't do it too close to a location since that will prevent the reset.
• Do not construct a base within render distance of another person's build unless they invite you to. This causes a loss of framerate and is rough on people with lower powered computers. This does not apply to the starting island.
• Do not take items from a player container that you did not build.
• Do not take items from another player's tombstone.
• Do not sail off in a boat that you did not create. Someone else made that, don't steal their boat.
• Do not leave tamed animals out around the world. Taming is part of the game and a good way to earn resources, but keep your horde of animals at your base when you're not using them.

Configuration

This modpack comes pre-configured with a default set of configurations, feel free to adjust them to your playstyle or use them when enforcing configuration for a server.
