You keep your world, your builds and your players. One quick server restart loads the new version, and everything after that is switched on live from the F9 panel while everyone stays connected.
Two minutes now saves a world later.
.db and .fwl files (on a dedicated server, the save folder you pass with -savedir, or worlds_local).BepInEx/config/midgardplus.cfg, midgardplus-locked.json if you use the settings lock, and midgardplus.lodge.cfg for Megin.A new DLL can only load when the server starts, so this is the one restart you need. The world itself is untouched.
BepInEx/plugins/MidgardPlus with 1.56.0, and the Megin add-on with 0.4.13 if you run it. A mod manager (r2modman, Gale) or the launcher's install to a rented server does this for you.midgardplus.cfg. With Lock settings between updates on, your own values come back exactly as you left them.Every player updates to 1.56 too, and to Megin 0.4.13 if the server runs it. The first two numbers must match, so a 1.55 player cannot join a 1.56 server.
Join as an admin and press F9. Search for a setting and switch it on. The change reaches every player in a second or two, with no restart and no kicking anyone.

Want everything at once? In the launcher pick the All of Midgard style: every feature on, every number at vanilla. Then send it to your server with the launcher's install to a rented server, or copy the matching switches in F9.
Valheim decides where places go when a world is made, so villages, altars and the Megin halls added later need a little help. Pick the gentlest option that works for your world.
Switch on Bring new places to an old world once, then reload the world. New MidgardPlus places go only into land no player has explored. Explored and built land is never touched.
Switch on New places in old worlds. About 45 seconds after the world loads, it adds the village near the start, scattered villages and the boss altars, up to what a new world of the same size would have. It only uses flat, dry ground in the right biome, away from builds, wards, tombstones and tames, and never while a player is near. Back up first.
Check and steer it from the F5 console as an admin:

With devcommands on, the game's command fills missing vanilla locations and the replay altars in unexplored land:

Your settings lock is on, or the server's value overrides a player's. Change it in F9 on the server, which also updates the lock.
No. Legendaries they already had keep every power, tames stay tame, and backpacks keep their items. Rows that still hold items stay until they are emptied.
