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.

Lost Scrolls II

• Free corrupted Dvergr instead of killing them and recruit them as levelable companions that fight, do chores, sail, duel, and travel with you.

BiomeLords

• Adds a boss-tier Lord to every biome, summoned with the Lord's Horn after you've proven yourself a hunter. Defeat them for Forsaken Powers, and keep their trophies for permanent blessings.

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).

Notes / Rules (Short Version)

• Don’t add extra mods unless explicitly allowed (ServerGuard will block you).
• Be respectful. No griefing or stealing.
• Play how you want — the server supports both casual and progression-minded players.
