Weapons, armour and tools never become stackable, whatever you set the multiplier to. Durability and quality are stored per item, so stacking them would wreck both.

Add-ons

Also in the launcher

• Rings of Valheim: one card that turns every Lantern Ring part on or off.
• Mod profiles: named sets of mods, switched before Valheim starts.
• Import from r2modman or Gale, and back up your profile first with one button.
• Move your settings to another PC with export and import.
• Join a saved server with only its mods.
• Installs on rented servers, including ones that hide the server program like DatHost.
• After every install it clears the BepInEx cache, so the game loads the MidgardPlus you just got.
• Every setting described in all five languages, and it keeps itself up to date.

Get the launcher

The easy way

A desktop app for Windows. It finds your Valheim folder, installs BepInEx, Jotunn and MidgardPlus, gives all 1,844 settings a proper control instead of a text file, and starts the game. It always installs the newest MidgardPlus from Thunderstore, so it never goes stale, and from version 1.2.4 it keeps itself up to date too.

The controls are built from the config the mod itself writes, so it reads your real types, ranges and defaults rather than a list someone typed by hand. Windows will call it an unknown publisher because it is not code-signed. Choose More info, then Run anyway. If you would rather check the file first, every download is listed in SHA256SUMS.txt.

Paste that into PowerShell. It finds your Valheim folder on its own, installs BepInEx, Jotunn and MidgardPlus, and stops there. It needs no admin rights and only writes inside your Valheim folder. Read the script first if you would rather see exactly what it does.

Works with r2modman, Thunderstore Mod Manager and Gale. The manager pulls BepInEx and Jotunn in for you, and keeps the mod updated.

1. Install the Valheim BepInEx pack and Jotunn. Jotunn is what registers the companion, the chest and the recipes. It’s a separate plugin and isn’t bundled here.

2. Drop MidgardPlus.dll into your plugins folder.Valheim\BepInEx\plugins\MidgardPlus\

3. Launch the game once. The config file gets written on first run with everything at vanilla.Valheim\BepInEx\config\midgardplus.cfg

4. Playing together? Everyone needs the mod, including the dedicated server. Only the host’s settings get read.

To remove it, delete the MidgardPlus folder. Nothing the game ships gets modified, so there’s nothing else to undo.

• Do I have to grind ore for hours?

  Not unless you want to. Smelter output under Production sets how much comes out of each thing you put in, and Bronze per craft sets how many bronze one craft at the forge makes from the same copper and tin. Both start at 1, the way the game does it. The time and the fuel do not change, so you carry less ore, you do not wait less.

• Can I plant berry bushes at my base?

  Yes, from 1.8.0. Plant anything under Features puts raspberry, blueberry and cloudberry bushes, mushrooms, yellow mushrooms, thistle and dandelion on the cultivator. They grow into the real bush or patch, so they keep giving every time you pick them. They need tilled ground but no particular biome, so the plains berries do not need the plains.

• I run a dedicated server. How do I install it there?

  The server needs the mod too, and its settings are the ones everyone gets. A server you rent from BisectHosting, G-Portal, Nitrado or any host with SFTP or FTP: open the launcher, press Install to a rented server, and paste the SFTP or FTP details from your host's panel. It finds the server, puts BepInEx, Jotunn and MidgardPlus in the right places, keeps your host's own BepInEx and any settings already there, and removes old copies that would load twice. Tick Remember and updating it later is one click. From launcher 1.5.1, Send my settings to the server makes the server match your settings page. A server on your own PC: choose its folder in the launcher and press Install. By hand: Jotunn and MidgardPlus go in BepInEx/plugins, and the settings file is BepInEx/config/midgardplus.cfg, that exact name in the config folder, never in plugins. Server and players need matching versions.

• Does everyone on the server need the same settings?

  No. The host's settings win. The server sends them when you join and again whenever the host changes one, so nobody has to edit a file to match.

• When does everyone have to update the mod?

  Only when the middle number changes, like 1.6 to 1.7, and the changelog says so at the top when it happens. Patches like 1.7.1 and 1.7.2 play with 1.7.0.

• Where do my settings live?

  In BepInEx\config\midgardplus.cfg. If another program rewrites that file and leaves settings out, MidgardPlus puts them back with the values you had, from the copy it keeps of your last good one.

• I turned on world finds and there is nothing out there.

  Valheim lays out places when a world is made. For a world you already play, run genloc once in the console with devcommands on, and they go into ground nobody has explored yet.

• Why can two of us open the same chest now?

  Shared chests. Whoever opened it first is in charge of it, and everyone else's taking and putting is sent to them and answered, so a thing is never in two places and nothing is lost when the chest fills up. Carts, boats and graves stay one player at a time.

• Can a companion build for me?

  Turn on Builder plans, press the plan key (F7) and place pieces for nothing. A builder companion with the materials, from its bag first and then the chests nearby, walks over and puts them up. You can also look at a plan and press E to build it yourself, paid the same way.

• My companion gets stuck or falls behind.

  It walks to you first. Only one that has stopped getting closer, is stuck in the ground or is very far away is moved, and then onto a clear spot beside or behind you, never in front of you.

• Does the mod touch my save?

  It writes its own keys on the things it makes, companions, plans and finds, and nothing else. Turning a feature off leaves what you already built alone.

• Will it fight the mods I already run?

  No. Every part of MidgardPlus that does the job of another mod steps aside by itself when that mod is loaded, says so once in the log and keeps your setting saved. Step aside for other mods is on by default, and Never step aside for keeps a job with MidgardPlus anyway. The list is under Mods it replaces, near the top of this page.
