Summary
Valheim world modifiers are a way to directly affect how the game is played on Valheim worlds, either in single-player or multiplayer on large servers. Many modifiers, such as custom Portal Settings, resource rate, and enemy difficulty, are available. While all of these settings can be tuned individually, selecting a preset will start the server from a baseline, and players who would like more customization can toggle any individual settings to override the preset modifiers.
How to Use World Modifiers on a Valheim Server
1. Log in to the BisectHosting Games panel.
2. Go to the Startup tab.
3. Stop the server.
4. Go to Config Files > Valheim Server Options from the left sidebar.
5. Select a Preset Modifier or adjust the settings manually; each setting is listed in the table below.
| Note | Changing any settings manually will Overwrite the settings changed by the preset. Example: If Preset is set to Easy, setting Portal Modifiers to Hard will leave them as Hard. |
6. After selecting the desired settings, Start the server.
