Nice timing! I had been hesitant to use mods, but ended up downloading and using my first valheim mods today. Some of these have got me thinking my next playthrough out to be modded.
Craft from Container is how Palworld crafting works it makes everything so easy. I'm shocked Valheim hasn't added this as an official feature yet considering how messy the storage can get in the game
I agree. As far as I understand they consider UI inventory management an important part of they game; like most developers; they are scared to change that. But they probably will eventually, Valheim's still not a "finished game" so I always keep that in mind. I just get to play it while they work on it
Plant Easily, Multicraft , Show Container Contents and Transparent Sail look awesome. I have used Craft From Container since I first discovered it. I especially like not having to waddle (encumbered) over to the forge with a large amount of metal when it's time to upgrade. Equipment and Quick Slots is great for solo play, but I lost stuff to it (like you mentioned) and gave it up. I am also a fan of Automatic Fuel.
losing stuff cause of Equipment and quick slots is not an issue anymore however i recommend ComfyQuickslots (doing the same thing) since the former haven't been updated in a while.
My man, thank you for showing me R2Modman exists. I totally wrote off modding Valheim for modded multiplayer servers for my group and I for years, due to the hassle involved. I'm already up to 97 mods in my current modlist, effortlessly config'd, zero conflicts and with a very happy group about to ruin Vanilla Valheim forever. All thanks to you!
RIGHT! Its like... so much easier lol. I learned about it because I tried to join a server after manually installing 53 mods... and it didnt work after taking an hour to set everything up! So I got frustrated, used R2, and it was done and working in less than 10 minutes. I never looked back xD
@@JPValheim and the fact that you can share your mod profile + configs and edits, all in a code you can copy and paste to your friends for importing? Fucking GOD LIKE.
@@mortenmadsen8461 TMM can only access mods on the Thunderstore, which is great if they're all there. But not if you come across a mod you like that's only on Nexus for example. With a bit of application, RDModman can be used to build mod profiles, easily share this with friends and in conjunction with FTP to the server it makes handling mod-installs/Version control for you, the server and other users a very straightforward process. Absolutely worth your time.
Another warning you probabbly should have mentioned during the showcase of "Equipment & Quick Slots" is that, if your character dies in multiplayer, and a player who is not using the mod checks on your grave, it may cause the things equiped in your extra slots to be lost too, since the inventory was updated when checked by the unmodded stranger. This happened to me once unfortunatelly, I was the unmodded guy and checked on someone's grave, and the owner of the grave accused me publicly for stealing his items later even though, I never took anything. It was kind of funny though, because apparently I had better knowledge of a mod I never used than he did xD. But yeah, I speak from experience here haha. This happened like... almost a year ago though, so, not sure if the "issue" has been adressed yet with some kind of safeguard or something. But its still worth to be wary.
Oooh, thats interesting. We play with equiped items kept on death; so that never happens becaue its all kept and the inventory is dropped. But without that setting; I think your probably right. I believe they updated the mod so that 2 tombstones are dropped to counter that. One saying "Viking A's equipment" and a second normal one saying "Viking A"
I have tried multicraft several times and it never works for me. The UI doesn't even show up. Tried client side only, server/client together still no luck. Yes I put the .dll in the bepinex plugins folder. I do not have other mods conflicting multicraft. No clue why it doesn't work.
Thanks for these! I hadn't seen the transparent sail mod before. Gonna have to try that out. I think the bigger issue with sailing is the camera sits too low so the boat is centered on the screen. Would be great to have a mod to adjust camera height with hot keys.
I know what you mean about the boat camera, theres a few mods that make it so you can zoom way out while using a boat. Its an interesting way to handle it www.nexusmods.com/valheim/mods/396
My favourite combination of mods are world edit, server dev commands, infinity hammer/tools, and heightmap unlimited. Ever come across a beautiful lake straddling meadows and black forest, with river access to the ocean, and think "man if only there was an island in the middle of that lake, it would make such a cool base location"? No? Well if you did these are the mods you need to quickly make an island in the middle of that lake. If you want to terraform in the mislands you might also need vein miner mod. It makes short work of those huge black rocks that can get in your way.
Sounds like you also enjoy mods like Better Continents :) Have you played on one of those worlds modeled after a map from something else? Must be totally different experience !
@@JPValheim I thought about installing that, but wasn't sure if I'd like what it did. I'll look into it some more. Some more dramatic terrain would be cool.
You are wrong about Equipment and Quickslots- starting the game with it disabled (or non-functional due to updates) does not pose a threat to your gear- Its still fine, your gear is just inaccessable in limbo till you re-enable the mod and restart the game, which will bring it all right back.. Logging in/being saved while its disabled doesnt cause any problems. Do note however that if youre expecting a patch shortly then its a good idea to get naked before you log off so you can still access your armor next time if a patch does hit before then and temporarily breaks the mod. The 3 extra slots in Equipment and Quickslots are generally much better used for potions once you have them since time is often of the essence for those and it isnt for changing arrows. Mass Farming is considerably superior to Plant Easily. The chest inventory mod looks good.
Thats good to know. Maybe it was patched? I personally experienced deleting a character's gear that way once. I reenabled the mod and it was still gone. But that was a while ago. I havent had any issues with it personally since then. Makes sense to get naked before logging off, that way your safe either way. Thanks !
Thats a client side mod; so you can use it and it wont affect your friend at all. Your friend can just join you normally. Most UI mods don't affect multiplayer :)
I have an issue managing my server where I’m never certain wether a mod should be server side, client side or both. For example I could never get that equipment slot mod working. It would work for a while and then completely delete any equipment that was previously in that slot. However in my offline separate single player world it didn’t give me that issue. It’s made me not want to bother modding my server, not to mention updates breaking mods and mod authors dropping support. Valheim Plus’s death was a catastrophe for our server.
In general, its good to avoid using server-side mods as much as possible, for the reasons you stated. Keeping all the mods up to date over time can be very time consuming and tedious. Personally I avoid server-side mods for my server except the server management mods; Server Devcommands, Upgrade World, and Cron Job. I dont know why the quickslots mod wasnt working; that is a client-side only mod, and I use it still ! It should work no matter what is installed on the server.
MultiCraft is nice but i think i prefer AAA_Crafting but Azumatt as it includes a search bar. Rather than click up on the arrows to queue up more, you hold your mouse over the craft button and scroll up on the mouse wheel
I've been using FarmGrid, but it only plants one at a time and I still have to harvest singular crops. Plant easily is something I'll have to check out. If I could plant 4 or 6 at once, I think I wont mind when harvest time comes around.
O install manually because I only need one mod lol V+.If I lose V+ again due to stupid updates I might consider looking around but the past has told me that often mods get abandoned and that V+ is most likely going to be looked after even if we have to wait after it is broken.
Do these client side mods work with multiplayer? As in only one of us has to install them, as in the host does, and no one else does? Does everybody have to?
which ones cant you find? Ive replaced a few shown in the video with different mods that do the same thing. Here is what I have been using recently that I know works. AzuCraftyBoxes v1.4.3 by Azumatt (instead of craftpullsmeltfromcontainers) FirstPersonMode v1.3.3 by Azumatt Simple_Chat v1.1.0 by NaNNaBoaT PlantEasily v1.8.0 by Advize
That obliterator screws me man maybe it gives you better deals but I got like 1 coal for something the other day and it broke my heart I havent looked at the obliterator the same since
Sadly, Craft from Containers is currently broken requiring an INSANE amount of materials in order to craft anything. Making a game impossible to start.
In normal multiplayer I was happy with that honestly. But playing on a server where people talk regularly; I get stressed seeing all caps all the time. The all caps thing is the main draw for me personally :)
@JPValheim when I run both the first person mod cancels out the build camera mod, I'm guessing cuz they both have something to do with the players view camera.
Heres some equivelants for you that are up to date :) Equipment & Quick Slots (still works well) FirstPersonMode (still works well) SimpleChat (still works well) AAA_crafting (replaces one in video) TransparentSail (still works well) AzuCraftyBoxes (replaces craftfromcontainers)
you dont need to type "say" before typing.. you can just type.. and you dont need to spell out the word shout.. /s will do. Typing mode is a waste of space.

Nice timing! I had been hesitant to use mods, but ended up downloading and using my first valheim mods today. Some of these have got me thinking my next playthrough out to be modded.
I find it enjoyable to focus on mods that reduce tedium; but keep the game challenging. Its a balance!
Damn the default game is too boring sometimes. Try to add some valheimy gears, reduce routines, revive the game experience.
Nice video JP! You're seriously making it hard for me to stay vanilla with this stuff 😁
In my head "vanilla" just means client-side xD (obviously im not a purist at all !)
