¶ Valheim: 8 Top Mods for your Server
Last updated: 9/10/2026
Vanilla Valheim holds up fine on its own, but once you've put every boss down a few times, mods are the easiest way to make the world feel new again. Here are 8 mods worth installing right now, ones the community already loves and that are actually confirmed up to date, not whatever's been sitting on a list since 2023. Wild, we know.
Note: Valheim 1.0 is out. Iron Gate doesn't officially support mods, so check each mod's own Thunderstore page before installing, especially right after a jump this size. See How to Install Mods for setup steps.
¶ 1. EpicLoot
Adds magic, rare, epic, legendary, and mythic items that show up in chests and enemy drops, turning gear progression into something closer to an ARPG loot table. The changelog explicitly addresses Deep North bounties and treasure.
¶ 2. EquipmentAndQuickSlots
Gives equipped items their own dedicated inventory slots (head, chest, legs, shoulder, utility, trinket), plus up to six hotkeyable quick slots. Client-side installable, doesn't need to be on the server unless you want the balance settings synced. Incompatible with AzuExtendedPlayerInventory, ExtendedPlayerInventory, and ExtraSlots, run only one slot mod at a time.
¶ 3. Server devcommands
Lets you actually run cheat commands on a server, which vanilla blocks outright. Server-side only, so your players don't need to install anything to join. Pairs with World Edit Commands, from the same author, for advanced world editing on top of the base command set.
¶ 4. Spawn That
Advanced tool for customizing mob spawners throughout the world, change spawn rates, add your own spawn configs, or rework how existing camps and dungeons populate.
¶ 5. Drop That
Companion tool to Spawn That, for configuring loot tables: override existing drops, add new ones, or discard a table entirely.
¶ 6. ValheimArmory
Adds a diverse set of new weapons across every progression tier, from Meadows flint gear up through Ashlands and beyond, so every playstyle has options at every biome.
¶ 7. Valharvest
Adds new crops like rice, tomatoes, and pumpkins, lox milking, and custom cooking stations with dozens of recipes. Requires BoneAppetit and Jotunn as dependencies, a bit more setup than your average mod, but a genuinely deeper food system for it. Yum.
¶ 8. Infinity Hammer
Bends the rules of building: copy any object, make structures indestructible, remove placement restrictions, destroy anything. Explicitly designed to pair with Server devcommands and World Edit Commands for a full admin toolkit.
¶ Looking for more? Thunderstore filters for 1.0 directly. Neat.

Since you're here, you might as well try a Valheim server with us and put a few of these to work. Or not, we don't care.
