Valheim ServerGuard
A single mod that handles the messy parts of running a dedicated Valheim server with a curated modpack: mod allowlist, anti-cheat, moderation tools, Discord integration, and forensic logging — all configurable from YAML.
What it does (in plain English)
- Locks your server to a specific modpack. Players running the wrong mods are kicked at the door.
- Blocks common cheats.
devcommands/god/fly/spawnand other console cheats are silently neutered. Emote attack-cancel exploit is blocked. Suspicious movement speed and skill levels are flagged. - Sends events to Discord. Public channel for player events (joined / kicked / died). Optional admin channel for moderation events (violations / config reloads / daily summary).
- Provides admin commands in the game console. Open the F5 console, type
sg help. Kick, pardon, query the build log, hot-reload config — without leaving the game. - Records build / destroy events to CSV. Useful when investigating grief reports.
Quick setup
- Install this mod on your dedicated server.
- Install Valheim_ServerGuard_Client on every player's machine.
- Launch the server. It writes
BepInEx/config/ServerGuard/conf/settings.yamlwith a randomsharedSecret. - Copy that
sharedSecretvalue. Each player pastes it into theirBepInEx/config/ServerGuard/client.yaml. - Add your modpack to
BepInEx/config/ServerGuard/conf/allowed_mods.yaml. The companion plugin generates a ready-to-paste snippet atmods_for_allowed_mods.yamlafter a player runs Valheim once.
That's the minimum. Everything else is optional.
