RtDMMO – Valheim Overhaul
RtDMMO is a full overhaul of Valheim that leans into MMO-style systems while still keeping the core survival experience intact.
It adds structured progression, meaningful combat, and a ton of new content — without turning the game into something unrecognizable.
- All RtD mods use optimized 256 texture sizes and reduced render distances for better performance.
- RtD mods do have some incompatibilities, and unsupported combinations may cause instability, broken progression, missing functionality, desyncs, or world corruption.
- Compatibility bypass mods and forced runtime patchers are used entirely at your own risk.
- If you encounter issues with your own modpack(s), please disable all non-RtD mods first, test the issue, then re-enable your extra mods one by one to identify the problematic mod(s).
- RtD projects may migrate to another host/platform in the future.
RtD Compatibility & Support Policy
RtD mods are designed as curated gameplay experiences, not universal compatibility frameworks.
Some mods heavily modify progression, loot generation, combat systems, world generation, networking, or runtime behavior. These combinations may still launch successfully, but stability and functionality cannot be guaranteed.
Please understand:
- Unsupported combinations may cause instability, broken progression, missing functionality, desyncs, or world corruption.
- Compatibility bypass mods and forced runtime patchers are used entirely at your own risk.
- Bug reports from unsupported setups may be declined if the issue cannot be reproduced on a clean RtD setup.
- Server owners and modpack creators are responsible for testing their own environments.
- RtD support is primarily limited to mods developed by Smoothbrain, Azumatt, ZedDragon, Shudnal, Alpus, Vapok, Marlthon, OdinPlus, and WackyMole.
The goal is not to restrict player choice, but to keep RtD projects stable and maintainable as curated gameplay experiences.
What This Modpack Does
- Introduces 10 classes with different playstyles
- Expands the game with custom dungeons, enemies, bosses, and raids
- Keeps Valheim’s progression, but makes it more guided and consistent
- Combat is more impactful — you’ll feel it if you’re not prepared
- RtDMMO is balanced around Jewelcrafting-based progression instead of randomized loot systems like Epic Loot
- Jewelcrafting is already included and acts as the primary item enhancement system.
Core Changes
- Boss powers are now passive instead of activated
- Bosses can drop cut gems and quality of gem depends on difficulty of boss.
- Jewelcrafting replaces traditional loot systems
- Gem Boxes have a 12% drop rate
- Creatures drop biome-based uncut gems (40%)
- Socketing gear won’t fail, but it costs coins
- Progression works both solo and in groups (ZedDragons mods)
Quality of Life
- Press P for a home portal (with a timed return)
- Automatically equips your last shield when using 1H weapons (ZenCombat)
- Dedicated dodge button (ZenCombat)
- Magic is available early instead of being late-game only
- Farming and planting are much smoother
- Assets are optimized for better performance (100m render cap, stylized textures)
Systems
Magic System
- You can start using magic as early as Eikthyr’s Meadows
- Progression is tied to consuming Spirit Essence
- Food (especially farming) plays a big role in sustaining Eitr
- All magic weapons have an AOE secondary attack
Metals & Resources
Resources are spread out to match progression:
- Meadows → Flint
- BlackForest → Copper, Tin, Gold
- Swamp → Iron, Guck, MoonIron
- Mountains → Silver, Orichalcum
- Plains → Netherite, limited BlackMetal
- Mistlands → Felmetal
- AshLands → Flametal, Ancient Metal
- DeepNorth → Arcane Metal
Demigods
- Demigods will be supported by RtDMMO for as long as the author maintains it.
- If Alpus eventually stops maintaining it we will try something else or go back to WackyMMO.
