README

Valheim ServerGuard — Client

Companion plugin for Valheim ServerGuard. Install this if you're joining a server that uses ServerGuard. Without it, the server kicks you on connect.

This is the client-side half of the system. The server-side mod (Valheim_ServerGuard) is installed by the server host, not by you.

What it does

When you connect to a ServerGuard server, this plugin tells the server which mods you have loaded so it can decide whether to let you in. While you play, it also:

  • Blocks cheat console commands (devcommands, god, fly, etc.) on multiplayer servers — single-player and host-and-play keep full cheats.
  • Blocks the emote / sheathe attack-cancel exploit.
  • Reports your deaths and built / destroyed pieces to the server's logs.
  • Reports your skill levels for cap enforcement.

You don't need to do anything in-game — it runs silently in the background.

Quick setup

  1. Install via your mod manager (r2modman / Thunderstore Mod Manager).
  2. Launch Valheim once to the main menu, then close the game.
  3. Open BepInEx/config/ServerGuard/client.yaml and paste in the password your server host gave you:
    sharedSecret: "<paste here>"
    
  4. Save. Restart Valheim. You're done.

The password is unique to each server. Ask the server host — they'll find it in their server's BepInEx/config/ServerGuard/conf/settings.yaml on the sharedSecret: line.
