TheReef
The Reef - private realm modpack: the proven core roster pinned by version plus the realm configs. Install this one package in r2modman, nothing else.The Reef — realm modpack
One package for the friends of The Reef: install it in r2modman (or Thunderstore Mod Manager) on the Valheim game, select the profile, press Play. It pulls every mod the server runs, pinned to the exact versions the server runs, and drops the realm's config files next to them.
What is inside
| Mod | Why |
|---|---|
| BepInExPack_Valheim | the loader |
| Jotunn | library used by AdvancedPortals (and our own client plugin later) |
| CreatureLevelAndLootControl | world level rises with each boss, stars and affixes — same config as the server |
| ServerCharacters | your character lives on the server (the server refuses a client without it) |
| AzuCraftyBoxes | crafting stations pull from nearby chests |
| PlantEverything | plant what you find |
| Farming | farming skill |
| AdvancedPortals | portal tiers (metal through portals opens boss by boss) |
| ConfigurationManager | F1 to see the configs (realm values are read-only for players) |
| EquipmentAndQuickSlots | dedicated slots for armor, cape and accessories + 3 quick slots |
| AdventureBackpacks (+ YamlDotNet) | backpacks crafted from capes, worn in the cape slot, I opens the pack; contents weigh 30 %; portals check the pack like your inventory |
| FoodCustomizer | food stays at full value for 70 % of its timer, then drops to half (never to zero) |
Config files shipped in config/ are the server's own (CLLC, AzuCraftyBoxes, AdventureBackpacks, FoodCustomizer) so client and server agree.
Rules
- Do not add other mods to this profile: the server rejects a client whose mod list differs, and the director's tools count on the roster above.
- When the pack updates, r2modman shows "update available" — take it before joining.
- Problems: tell Synistro on Discord with the mod manager's log (
Settings > Browse profile folder > BepInEx/LogOutput.log).
