Expand World Prefabs is a mod that gives server admins significant control over the game world without requiring players to install mods. This means players can join the server without having to manage their own mod installations, simplifying the process.

EWP is a server-side option that provides admins with more control over the game world, providing vanilla compatibility whilte simplifying the modding process


The Vanilla Server Modder's Standard toolkit...

Expand World Prefabs
This gives us the ability to game develop within Valheim using existing prefabs. EWP gives you almost total control of your Valheim server without requiring any mods on the Players.

Server Devcommands
This is necessary to use devcommands on a dedicated server

World Edit Commands
This allows us to edit the fields of gameobjects while in game by using data save= and data load=. The fields are output to a text file which we can adjust and load back to a gameobject.

Cron Job
This allows us to manage scheduling and many niche tasks. Cron is usually necessary if references to time, either irl or in game, are part of your project

Infinity Hammer
This allows us to place, modify, adjust any prefab in the game. We can spawn locations, save and load blueprints, and many more using infinity hammer.

Upgrade World
This allows us to respawn resources, refresh vegetation, replace prefabs with other prefabs, and is a critical debugging tool if something goes wrong. Upgrade world allows commands that instantly remove all objects of a certain type, etc.

Useful Server Mods...

Better Networking
Critical mod for both server and clients to have a smoother multiplayer experience in Valheim. For the best Valheim experience, most clients should be on a VPN set close to the server. Additionally, all clients should have Better Networking installed. This circumstance makes Valheim lag manageable. Do not underestimate the impact of a VPN on lag in Valheim...

Dungeon Splitter
Valheim dungeons are around 7000 meters up in the sky. However, in vanilla valheim they load when players are below them. Dungeon Splitter changes this and reduces lag.

Discord Connector
This is arguably a must have for any Valheim server. It shows what players are talking about in discord. Without it, you do not know what is happening on the server. With Discord Connector, your entire community knows exactly what is happening on the server. Critical for community health reasons.

Discord Control
This allows people in discord to message players in game and pairs with Discord Connector to allow 2 way chat. Critical for community health reasons.

Plan Build
Plan Build is a more advanced blueprint management tool, that even includes an entirely different way to build in Valheim. Using planbuild requires the mod on client and server. However, the buildings built with planbuild are vanilla friendly.
