Want a chill run or a brutal survival? World Modifiers let you shape Valheim: loot rates, stamina, portals, enemy difficulty—dial it all in. A few clicks on your panel and your server has a new vibe.
Casual, Normal, Hard, Immersive). A preset applies sensible defaults across all settings. It’s faster than toggling everything manually. You can override any setting afterward. If you want a clean slate, pick a standard preset first, then customize.
Enable NoBossPortals. For a no-map experience, enable Enable NoMap (map stays hidden).Delete Items on Death, Delete Unequipped on Death, and Keep Equipped on Death. Balanced example: enable Delete Unequipped on Death and Keep Equipped on Death to punish without hard-frustration.Enable No Build Cost and Enable No Crafting Cost. You can also toggle Allow Crafting without Workbench and Allow Building in Dungeons to build anywhere.Incoming Damage Modifier (damage you take) and Outgoing Damage Modifier (your damage). Example: set Incoming Damage Modifier=0.8 for some breathing room and Enemy Level-up Rate=1.2 to keep fights spicy.Resource Gain Rate=1.8, Skill Experience Gain Rate=1.2, Stamina Consumption Rate=0.9, Stamina Regeneration Rate=1.1. Type values exactly, e.g., 2.0 not 2,0.
1.0 for multipliers, toggles OFF), save, and retry.
Allow Crafting without Workbench is on, or step through a portal if portals are disabled. Watch stamina: with Stamina Consumption Rate=0.8, sprinting should drain slower. If not, disconnect, restart the server, and recheck values.
– Casual co-op (4 players): Resource Gain Rate=1.5, Incoming Damage Modifier=0.9, Skill Experience Gain Rate=1.2, keep portals enabled. Why: smooth progression, less grind, readable fights.
– Hardcore survival: Incoming Damage Modifier=1.5, Damage Dealt by Enemies=1.3, enable Delete Items on Death, disable Keep Equipped on Death. Why: high stakes, tactical choices, tense recoveries.
– Builder server: enable Enable No Build Cost + Enable Passive Mobs, and set Stamina Consumption Rate=0.5. Why: fast prototyping, no aggro, architecture focus.
Reminder: keep most multipliers between 0.5 and 3.0 to avoid extreme imbalance or odd behavior.
No. World Modifiers are native server settings. The server enforces them for every player joining, with no client mods required.
Yes, but restart the server to apply cleanly. Some rules (e.g., death behavior) only show their effect when the event happens, so test after the restart.
Select a standard preset (e.g., Normal) and set every multiplier back to 1.0, turn extra toggles OFF. Save and restart.
Common causes: you didn’t press ‘Save’, you didn’t restart, or you entered an invalid value (e.g., 1,5 instead of 1.5). Check logs for a startup error pointing to the bad field.
You’re now in full control of your Valheim server’s mood. Tweak, test, refine—and give your community the perfect adventure. Have fun!
