RustyHeathensModGuard
Heathens' Haven approved-client-mod checker. Install on the server and player clients; the server controls the approved-mod policy.Rusty Heathens ModGuard
Rusty Heathens ModGuard is the approved-client-mod checker used by the Heathens' Haven Valheim server.
Player install
Use Thunderstore Mod Manager or r2modman and click Install with Mod Manager.
That is it. You do not need to browse to the Valheim folder, BepInEx folder, or plugins folder manually.
The mod must be installed on the server and on connecting player clients.
What it does
- Reports loaded BepInEx plugin IDs and versions to the Heathens' Haven server.
- Checks the player's plugin list against the server's approved-mod policy.
- Supports a separate admin-only list for approved server administrators.
- Can optionally include SHA-256 hashes of readable plugin DLLs in reports.
- Starts in Audit mode by default, so failed reports are logged without automatically disconnecting players.
Heathens' Haven policy
The server owner controls the actual approved-mod and admin-only lists through the server configuration. Players do not need to edit that policy.
Important
This is a controlled-profile compatibility/mod-policy guard for normal BepInEx clients. It is not tamper-proof anti-cheat attestation; a deliberately modified client can falsify a client-side report.
Version 0.1.2
This release includes the tested client/server reporting handshake and DatHost-friendly admin recognition used on Heathens' Haven.
