Hearthbound Valheim Modpack (Official)
Welcome to Hearthbound Valheim Server — a public, casual-friendly, secured modded Valheim server built as a meeting place for Vikings from different timezones.
✅ No whitelisting required — anyone can join anytime.
Quick Start (How to Join)
1) Install the Modpack
- Install a mod manager: Thunderstore Mod Manager or r2modman
- Select Valheim
- Create a new profile (recommended)
- Search and install: Hearthbound Valheim Modpack
- Click Start modded
Important: Always launch Valheim via the mod manager so all mods/configs load correctly.
2) Join the Server (FastLink)
- From the Valheim main menu, open FastLink
- Select Hearthbound Valheim Server
- Join
If the server isn’t showing in FastLink, check the Taeguk Gamers Discord for the latest server status/entry details.
Public Server (No Whitelist)
This server is now fully public:
- ✅ No application
- ✅ No approval process
- ✅ Join anytime as long as you’re using the modpack
Local Seed Characters Are Allowed (This Is Intentional)
You can bring your local character
Yes — you can join the server using your local characters, including the items they currently have.
What “local seed” means (and why this server exists)
Think of Hearthbound as a shared hub world:
- Your local world/seed is your personal adventure world (solo/with friends, build at your pace).
- The Hearthbound server is where players meet up, party, explore, trade, and do community activities — without needing everyone online at the same time.
This is designed for working players and mixed timezones: hop in, team up, then continue your journey back on your own local seed.
Safe for Local Worlds (Switch Server ↔ Local With the Same Character)
This modpack is configured so your local progression/keys are not forced to match the server when you log in.
✅ You can use the same character for:
- Local seed (with this modpack enabled)
- Hearthbound server (with this modpack enabled)
Strong recommendation:
- Use the same modpack profile whenever you play that character (server + local).
- If you want to play pure vanilla (no mods), use a separate character to avoid missing/unsupported modded items.
Gameplay Highlights
Simple Market (Trade With Other Players)
This pack includes Simple Market, allowing players to access a market (from a comfort/rest area, server-configured) to trade with others.
- Benefit for the server: encourages a player-driven economy and async cooperation.
- Hop in, list/buy, log out — no need to coordinate schedules.
Companions (Offline + Wandering)
This pack includes Offline Companions and Wandering Companions.
- Hire helpful NPC companions with their own stats, inventory, and AI.
- Defeat roaming “wanderer” NPCs to earn loyal companions (great for solo players and small groups).
Trader Additions (TraderOverhaul + HaldorBounties)
- TraderOverhaul improves the trader experience with a unified UI for Haldor, Hildir, and Bog Witch and fair, progression-aware pricing.
- HaldorBounties adds daily bounty contracts at Haldor so you always have something fun to hunt for rewards.
Skills, Salvage, and Fashion
- ImpactfulSkills makes skill progression feel more meaningful over time.
- Recycle N Reclaim lets you recycle crafted items back into useful materials (less waste, more building).
- Armoire lets you save outfits and override appearances using a buildable wardrobe (cosmetic fun, multiplayer-friendly).
