Valheim Mod Compatibility Reference
Popular Valheim server mods with server-side vs. client requirements and crossplay compatibility. Filter by installation type.
BepInEx mods are incompatible with -crossplay
The -crossplay flag switches Valheim to the PlayFab networking backend to allow Xbox/GamePass players. BepInEx cannot hook into PlayFab — meaning ValheimPlus, Epic Loot, and all other BepInEx mods are completely non-functional when crossplay is enabled. This is the #1 confusion for new server admins. You must choose one or the other.

Sharing Modpacks with r2modman Profile Export
In r2modman, open your profile, click Export Profile, and share the generated code or .r2z file with your players.
They import it via Import Profile → From Code or From File. This installs every mod at the exact version you exported,
ensuring client and server are in sync. Remember: all players must use the same mod versions as the server.
