valheim server config and mod management

Server Setup

Configure your dedicated server

You want to run a dedicated server on your own machine and maintain a mod list file plus a backup before each change. OlyForge finds the start script, edits the parameters, and creates a backup script. You review every change before it happens. You can safely reset dedicated server world if needed, find mods that work with online play, and check mods for reducing death penalty.

01

Find scripts

The agent lists the folder contents.

02

Edit config

It writes the new start parameters.

03

Create backup

It generates a Robocopy command.

04

Run server

It starts the server process.

Start script example

start-my-server.cmd
The valheim server config uses these standard parameters.

This batch script sets the Steam app ID and runs the server in headless mode with specific parameters for name, port, world, and password.

Manage valheim dedicated server mods

Configure server settings

OlyForge uses list_dir to locate the start script and edit_file to update the valheim server config with new parameters for your dedicated server now. Diff shows changes. Shell runs the server and verifies the exit code of the command. grep checks the log file for any errors during the process. A backup copy lets you restore the previous state safely. web_search reads the official documentation for details on settings and mods. http_get fetches the latest patch notes from the web for you. You can safely reset dedicated server world data without losing your admin list.

Handle dedicated server mods

The agent uses glob to find mod files and writes a backup script so the world folder is saved safely before changes are made. Run the script. Shell executes the command and checks the exit code for success. web_search finds official documentation while http_get reads the latest patch notes for accuracy. edit_file updates the mod list and shows the diff for review. You accept changes in Ask first mode to verify steps before running. If you see a modded dedicated server black screen, check the logs. The agent starts the server with new mods and confirms the setup.
