TheReef
The Reef - private realm modpack. Valheim 1.0 launch edition: the Reef's own companion plugin + config manager only; every third-party mod returns once its author ships a 1.0 build. Install this one package in r2modman.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 what the server runs, pinned to the exact versions the server runs.
0.4.0 — Valheim 1.0 launch edition (2026-09-09)
Valheim 1.0 changed the game's code enough that every third-party mod of the previous pack broke — some at boot, some the moment you open the hammer. None of their authors had shipped a 1.0 build on launch morning. So the launch pack carries only what we own and proved on Valheim 1.0.7: the game plays vanilla, and the Reef's director keeps its hands.
| Mod | Why |
|---|---|
| BepInExPack_Valheim | the loader |
| ConfigurationManager | F1 to see the configs |
| ReefClient | the Reef's own companion: Odin's favor counter under the minimap (hidden until your first favor), the director's sky and wind on your screen, and your chat reaches the director even when you play alone. No gameplay change |
Retired until their authors ship a 1.0 build, then back one by one (each proven on our sandbox first, then a pack update): CreatureLevelAndLootControl, ServerCharacters, AzuCraftyBoxes, PlantEverything, Farming, AdvancedPortals (+ Jotunn), EquipmentAndQuickSlots, AdventureBackpacks (+ YamlDotNet), FoodCustomizer.
If you had 0.3.0 installed: make a NEW profile and install TheReef 0.4.0 in it. Updating the pack in the old profile keeps the retired mods installed, and a 0.3.0 profile on Valheim 1.0 breaks in game (hammer, inventory, camera). The new profile must show exactly the three mods above.
Rules
- Do not add other mods to this profile: the director's tools count on the roster above, and a mod built for the old game breaks yours.
- 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).
