Valheim: Install Mods

We have recently completed an overhaul of our Mods & Plugins page for Valheim.


Installing mods on your DatHost Valheim server only takes a few steps:

  1. Open your Valheim server in the DatHost Control Panel and go to Mods & Plugins.
  2. Under Framework, turn on BepInEx. Most Valheim mods require BepInEx to work.
    • Mod manager profile code — Recommended: Paste a profile code from Thunderstore, Gale, or r2modman. DatHost will download the mods in the profile along with their configuration files.
    • Upload mods folder: Upload your existing BepInEx folder from a mod manager or manual installation.
    • Upload custom plugin: Upload an individual .dll    , .zip    , or .rar     file for a custom or manually downloaded plugin.
  3. Follow the prompts to install your mods.
  4. Save and reboot your server to load the new plugins.
  5. Make sure everyone joining the server has any client-side mods and matching versions required by your modpack.

Tip: If you already have a working modpack in Thunderstore, Gale, or r2modman, using the profile code is usually the quickest option. You don't need to manually download and upload every mod—the server handles that for you.
