Getting 30 slot option for Valheim hosting server (what is Valheim + Plus)?

[NinjaBeest 0]

What is Valheim+ Plus? Considering buying the 30-slot option to be able to get more players in the game at once. Is it a mod or a plugin that will be available for me to select and put in the server and then others will have to manually download the mod from Nexusmods or something? What is it? Why do the other people need it who join and how do they get it?

Valheim Plus is a popular mod for the game Valheim that enhances the game-play experience by adding advanced customization options and quality-of-life improvements. Along with the ability to allow for more player slots on a server. It’s commonly used on servers to allow admins and players to tailor their game-play environment.

Key Features:

1. Customizable Settings: Modify stamina usage, carry weight, crafting costs, and more.
2. Building Enhancements: Precision building tools, snapping options, and structural integrity adjustments.
3. Shared Map: Share exploration data between players.
4. Server Management: Additional admin tools and server-specific configurations.

How It Works:

• Installation: Both the server and all players need to install the Valheim Plus mod.
• Configuration: Server admins edit the valheim_plus.cfg file to adjust settings such as player stamina consumption, crafting costs, and building improvements.
• Synchronization: All players must have the same mod version and settings as the server to join.

Example Use Case:

Imagine running a Valheim server with Valheim Plus installed:

1. You configure the server to:

   • Increase carry weight to 1,000 (instead of the default 300).
   • Reduce stamina usage when running or jumping.
   • Allow players to pick up placed structures without losing materials.

2. Players join the server and experience:

   • Easier resource management with the increased carry weight.
   • Less stamina drain during exploration.
   • Freedom to rebuild bases without wasting resources.

This setup makes the game more accessible and fun, especially for casual or role playing communities.
