Valheim "Hard Mode" Adventure

This modpack is now available to the public. My community is still doing a playthrough test, so there may be regular updates to the configuration files here until we have completed our playthrough.

Game Features

• Insane mob difficulty (up to 10 stars)
• Custom raids (150+) that scale in difficulty
• Custom boss fights (WAY more difficult than vanilla)
• Dedicated multiplayer server, intended for 3+ players
• Repair gear and weapons with gold Coins (like an MMO)

What is cjaycraft?

Shout out to the developers, pack makers, and everyone working on great things! This pack is a configuration of all the great things made by people in the community. Thanks for giving people great content to enjoy!

• A collection of over 70 mods! The difficulty is INSANE and features up to 10-star mobs and bosses. Also includes custom boss fights and raids that attack your base!

• You will need several players. Recommend a minimum of 3. It's not possible by yourself! We tested a kill fight sequence on the 4th boss (Moder) with 3 players and it took 1.5 hours to him! Waves of monsters, it was insane!

• Need to take a break from killing things? No problem! Build your own boat, custom from the ground up! This pack features all the fun creative elements of the game without breaking or making the rest of the game too easy.

• Gold (coin) economy, repair your gear with Coins, and custom loot drops!

• Purchase supplies from Haldor the Merchant for a premium, or sell him your cooked foods to earn Coin!

• It's so hardcore that each player can only build 6 portals (3 linked networks) at the start of the game. Build more portals by acquiring special Portal Fluid from killing bosses or purchasing them from Haldor the Merchant!

• Enemy encounters require tanks, casters, and DPS!

• Since this is a modpack, you will be able to change the settings. Customize it to the experience you want.

Dedicated Server Files

https://valheim.thunderstore.io/package/cjayride/cjaycraft_ultimate_modpack_dedicated_server

It's recommended to run a dedicated server, even if you're playing from the same machine. Plus, you need friends to play this pack!

Note: Load times when launching the game are exceptionally longer than vanilla, especially for the server, because they need to load large files like loot tables. Lots of customization! But all good things.

Are You Ready!?

Valheim mods are not easy to install. Compatibility issues everywhere! So I made a modpack to play with my friends, and offer the best experience for HARDCORE progression. The insane raids and difficulty will give you quite the challenge, testing your skill and might!

Make sure you install this modpack with R2modman for an automated installation process!

https://valheim.thunderstore.io/package/ebkr/r2modman/

I've also spent 200+ hours testing the mods, re-writing broken code for mods, customizing config files, balancing economy, balancing fights, and making the game a great experience.

FPS Boost Recommendations

• For high-end PCs: https://valheim.thunderstore.io/package/cjayride/fps_boost_small

• For medium-grade PCs: https://valheim.thunderstore.io/package/cjayride/fps_boost_medium

• For low-end PCs (very potato graphics): https://valheim.thunderstore.io/package/cjayride/fps_boost_high

The game is poorly optimized, so I recommend playing with at least medium-grade settings.

Some tips to reduce lag:

• Don't build too many things in one place.
• Split up your bases.
• Don't make boats that are too big.
• Don't make things with too many player placed objects.
• Don't make your farms too big.
• Basically, if you wanna go big, spread things out so they're not loaded in at the same time.

Modpack Updates

I do not recommend auto-updating the OTHER mods included in this pack automatically, unless you know what you are doing. There are some mods that break things with newer versions. For example, there is currently a bug with BetterUI and its latest version. It conflicts with the mods in this pack, so we'll need to wait for them to fix it before upgrading.

Only update the main pack files "cjaycraft_ultimate_modpack" because these are the main configuration files for the modpack. When other mods get updated, I'll run tests, and include the newer versions as dependencies.

Please use R2modman to install, update, and run this modpack.

Quick Connect

Add your favorite server to the QuickConnect file so that you can connect quickly from the opening game screen.

config/quick_connect_servers.cfg Put one server per line

name:addr:port:password Example: Awesome Server:127.0.0.1:2456:smellysocks

Changelog

1.4.7

• Removed depependcy: cjayride-AssimpLibaries-0.1.0 -- no longer needed

1.4.6

• Updated lines of code in Valheim.ThisGoesHere.cjaycraft.yml -- to remove redundant files and folders for RRR mods and supplemental raids

1.4.5

• Playable! Install with R2modman, run a dedicated server, enjoy.

1.4.4

• Sorry I've had so many uploads! Getting my community's configuration posted on Thundersetore has been a nightmare with depedencies. I've been testing it non-stop the past few days. I can't say yet if this iteration is directly playable, but I'll post here in the changelog when I know it's good to go. This is intended to be played with R2modman and using the server version of the pack as well, because it's too difficult to play alone. https://valheim.thunderstore.io/package/cjayride/cjaycraft_ultimate_modpack_dedicated_server
