Client mods for the Utgarde Valheim server, pinned to the versions the server runs.Utgarde Client Pack
Client mods for the Utgarde Valheim server, pinned to the exact versions the server runs.
Install this pack in Gale or r2modman and launch the game through the manager. When the server's mods change, a new version of this pack is published and your manager offers the update.
What is in it
| Mod | Version | Why |
|---|---|---|
| denikson-BepInExPack_Valheim | 5.4.2350 | The BepInEx loader itself. Everything below is inert without it. |
| Grantapher-ValheimPlus_Grantapher_Temporary | 10.1.2 | Craft-from-chest, map sharing, smelter tuning, build and taming settings. The server sets enforceMod = true, so a client on any other version is kicked at connect. |
| ValheimModding-Jotunn | 2.30.1 | Mod library. Server-side it backs ServersideQoL; client-side it is required by Animal Feeding Trough and, since pack 1.10.0, by Muted_Mist. |
| Advize-PlantEverything | 1.21.2 | Berry bushes, thistle, dandelions, mushrooms and several trees on the cultivator. Degrades rather than blocking: a client without it still sees what others plant. |
| ValheimModding-YamlDotNet | 16.3.1 | ServersideQoL dependency server-side; AdventureBackpacks declares it client-side too, so every player now carries it. |
| Azumatt-Unshamed | 1.0.5 | Valheim 1.0 blocks Steam achievements for anyone running mods, so this pack is what disables them. Unshamed restores them and returns the ones already earned, granting no free unlocks. It is here because the pack causes the problem it fixes. Client-only: achievements are a Steam client concern and the server has no use for it. |
| MagiCorp-RememberServerPassword | 1.2.4 | Saves the server password and adds a quick-connect button for the last server, so nobody retypes it every session. Chosen over Dedryx-QuickServerConnect because it covers both jobs in one mod: two mods hooking the same join dialog and both storing passwords is a conflict waiting to happen. Client-only and purely convenience, so dropping it breaks nothing. Published 2026-09-12 and therefore unproven here; remove it if it misbehaves. |
| Vapok-AdventureBackpacks | 2.0.9 | Craftable, wearable backpacks with tiers. Replaces ArgusMagnus-ServersideQoL_Backpack, which was server-only and therefore cheaper to deploy, but was an invisible container opened by an emote rather than an item in the world. Since the pack reaches every player anyway, the deployment saving bought nothing. Jotunn-based, so a client without it is kicked at connect exactly like ValheimPlus. |
| Landoria-GentleDeath | 1.0.12 | Keeps equipables (weapons, armor, tools, shields, ammo, utility, trinkets) on death and sends everything else to the tombstone, classifying via Valheim's own ItemData.IsEquipable(). Replaces beefbaccio-DeathTweaks, which shipped in pack 1.3.0 and coincided with every player stuck at 1 health; that attribution was never proven, but DeathTweaks predated Valheim 1.0 and this one declares 1.0.x compatibility. Verified working on jetragon 2026-09-15. |
| blacks7ar-VikingsDoSwim | 1.4.2 | Scales swim speed, stamina regen and stamina drain to the Swim skill, and adds diving. Vanilla swimming was the complaint. Verified on jetragon 2026-09-15. |
| OdinPlus-OdinHorse | 1.7.0 | Ground transport: a tameable, rideable, breedable horse with armour and an attachable cart. Added 2026-09-18 because overland travel to the traders and back is the group's standing complaint, and vanilla offers nothing below the Plains lox saddle. Chosen on maintenance rather than features: it is the only mod in this category still shipping, updated 2026-09-15, against a field where the nearest alternatives (BeastsOfBurden 2021, CraftyCartsRemake and ValheimRAFT early 2026) are stale. Declares no dependencies and bundles its assets in a 10.5 MB DLL, so it needs nothing else on the box. Config syncs from the server like ValheimPlus. |
| RustyMods-Seasonality | 3.8.3 | Seasonal textures and colours, plus weather. Chosen over shudnal-Seasons because that one carries gameplay effects on crops and water, and we had just finished tuning crop growth. Modifiers Enabled ships Off and every per-season stat multiplier is 1, so out of the box it is purely visual, which is what was asked for. Depends on YamlDotNet, already carried for AdventureBackpacks. |
| Pumpkin-ValheimVisualEnhanced | 0.5.14 | The visual upgrade the group asked for. Explicitly NOT a ReShade-style screen filter: its effects hook Valheim's own lighting, water, weather, biome and time-of-day systems, so they respond to the world rather than tinting the frame. Ships wind-driven cloud shadows, underwater caustics and Meadows fireflies on by default. Chosen over the texture-replacement mods because those are limited to vegetation and their own author recommends this one instead. |
| Wire-WiresGrassTweaks | 0.2.3 | Grass density and draw distance, so clutter stops popping in a few metres ahead of the player. Chosen on currency rather than popularity: ShadowField-GrassTweaks has ten times the downloads and is recommended by other mods' readmes, but was last updated 2025-07-26, before Valheim 1.0. This one was updated 2026-09-14 and declares no dependencies at all. Its own readme nonetheless says 'Built for Valheim 1.0.12', three patches behind this estate's 1.0.15, which is a real qualification on the currency argument above: recent upload date and declared target build are different things, and none of the three drift checks compares the latter against game_version. |
| ontrigger-ValheimPerformanceOptimizations | 1.2.2 | Rendering and loading optimisations, taken to buy frame headroom for the draw distance and effects the rest of this batch adds rather than to fix a performance problem. Declares no dependencies. |
| MagiCorp-Render_Limits_Fix | 1.16.0 | Draw distance: controls how far zones are rendered, loaded and generated. Its readme says to install it on the server and optionally on clients, so the server copy is what the client's own limits are raised against; whether extended limits are strictly impossible without it is untested here. This is a maintained fork of JereKuusela's Render Limits, rebuilt and smoke-tested against Valheim 1.0.14 at network version 40. The network version matches this estate; the game version does not, since this estate runs 1.0.15. and it preserves the original render_limits plugin GUID and config keys. |
| VentureValheim-Muted_Mist | 1.0.0 | Thins the Mistlands mist instead of deleting it. One setting, TransparencyIntensity, where 0 hides the mist entirely and 1 is vanilla; the estate runs 0.7, a gentle trim. Chosen over Vapok-NoFogBruh, which removes fog outright and was rejected as effectively cheating in the Mistlands, and over ComfyMods-Dramamist, which does the same job but predates Valheim 1.0. |
| TastyChickenLegs-TreesReborn | 1.1.3 | Replants a sapling where a felled tree's stump is destroyed, so logging does not permanently strip the map. Requested by the operator 2026-09-19; no reason beyond the request was given. Chosen as the only maintained member of its family: it is a rebuild of Aedenthorn's TreeRespawn, and of the surviving forks of that original the freshest is Lyric-TreeRespawn_by_Aedenthorn 0.8.5, last updated 2026-03-10, with most of the rest deprecated, against this one's 2026-09-11. Its readme declares the target as "Updated for Valheim 1.0" with no patch number, so the fourth drift check is INDETERMINATE here rather than clean: unlike WiresGrassTweaks there is no number to compare against game_version 1.0.15. Sole declared dependency is BepInExPack 5.4.2202, older than the 5.4.2350 this estate runs. |
ValheimPlus_Grantapher_Temporary is version-enforced. The server rejects any client running a different build, so do not update it on its own. Update this pack and everything moves together.

You must install these yourself
The server requires this mod and will refuse your connection without it, but it is not on Thunderstore, so this pack cannot carry it.
- Animal Feeding Trough 1.0.3 (https://www.nexusmods.com/valheim/mods/3593). Drop the DLL into this profile's
BepInEx/pluginsfolder.
What is not in it
The server also runs ServersideQoL, ServersideQoL_PortalProgression, ServersideQoL_AutoStore, ServersideQoL_ContainerSigns, ValheimWebMap. Those are server-side, so you get their behaviour by connecting and have nothing to install. Console players are covered the same way.
There is deliberately no ValheimPlus config file in this pack. The server has serverSyncsConfig = true and pushes its settings to you on connect, so a bundled config would only give you a stale copy to fight with.
If you get kicked at connect
Almost always a ValheimPlus version mismatch. Check that your manager has this pack up to date, and that you have not bumped ValheimPlus by itself.
Game version 1.0.15, network version 40.
