Raftheim

Completely transforms the sailing experience by allowing you to build massive, fully customized ships and floating fortresses. You place a raft base and can attach any building piece, crafting station, or furniture to it. It enables a truly nomadic playstyle where your main base travels with you across the oceans. The ship physically reacts to waves and wind, making navigation a thrilling experience.

A massive expansion to the Ocean biome that introduces entirely new ecosystems and challenges. It populates the empty seas with new fish, aggressive predators, and a complete ocean boss encounter. You can dive for underwater relics, discover new flora, and craft unique items from marine resources. It drastically increases the danger and reward of sailing far from shore.

Breathes life into the waters of Valheim by adding a wide variety of marine creatures. You'll encounter dangerous sea monsters, passive whales, and even tameable beasts that you can ride across the waves. The oceans no longer feel empty or predictable, as every voyage carries the risk of encountering massive new leviathans. It perfectly complements ValheimRAFT by adding threats to your mobile base.

Fills the skies and forests with ambient life, featuring 10 types of birds, 6 butterflies, and 4 beetles. This mod adds a critical layer of immersion, making the world feel vibrant and alive rather than static. While mostly atmospheric, hunting these creatures adds variety to your exploration. It's a subtle but essential mod for making the biomes feel like real, breathing ecosystems.

Turns the skies of Valheim into your personal domain by introducing tameable and rideable dragons. You must hunt, capture, and train these majestic beasts before taking to the air. Once tamed, they offer unparalleled mobility for scouting and traveling across vast continents. It completely changes late-game exploration and adds an incredible fantasy element to your Viking journey.

Adds three powerful new weapons to the game, each featuring unique secondary attack modes. By pressing a dedicated key, you can switch between weapon modes to adapt to different combat scenarios. Highly customizable, allowing you to tweak stats and recipes to fit perfectly into your playthrough.

Adds a highly detailed, custom-modeled set of armor featuring three progression tiers: Mossguard (purchased from traders), Glintfang (crafted in Mountains), and Ashbeak (forged in Ashlands). The armor includes custom clanking sound effects for immersion and features stats that naturally scale with your endgame progression.

Populates the world with wandering NPC Vikings, adding a much-needed human element to the game. You'll encounter hostile raiding parties, powerful boss-level chieftains, neutral wanderers, and even tameable companions. They spawn across almost all biomes, creating dynamic encounters and making the world feel less lonely. Trading or fighting with these factions adds a whole new layer of emergent gameplay.

Massively expands your architectural options by adding over 100 new building pieces and decorations. It introduces fine wood variants for core structures, stone roof shingles, thatch walls, and clay materials. You also get dozens of new furniture items, windows, trapdoors, and buildable plants to detail your home. It's an absolute must-have for builders looking to create highly detailed, premium-looking settlements.

Focuses specifically on expanding the rugged, log-cabin aesthetic of Core Wood. It adds a huge variety of high-definition structural pieces, greenhouse components, and bespoke furniture. This mod allows you to build much more complex and structurally sound log bases than the vanilla game allows. It perfectly bridges the gap between early-game wood and late-game stone tier building.

Injects a massive dose of color and sophisticated atmosphere into your interiors. It features gorgeous stained-glass windows, porcelain sets, intricate rugs, lamps, and decorative banners. You can even build cannons and majestic thrones to solidify your status as a Viking lord. It's perfect for detailing the interiors of your massive ValheimRAFT ships or sprawling mainland castles.

Overhauls the basic act of gathering meat and leather into a fully fleshed-out skill system. As you hunt boars, deer, wolves, and birds, your hunting skill increases, directly improving your yield from each kill. It introduces tracking mechanics that allow you to locate elusive prey in dense forests. This rewards dedicated hunters and makes the survival aspect of the game feel much more rewarding.

Completely eliminates the tedium of inventory management while building and crafting. It automatically pulls resources from nearby chests when you are using a crafting station or the build hammer. You can configure the exact pull range and restrict certain items if needed. This is the ultimate quality-of-life upgrade, allowing you to focus entirely on creativity rather than running back and forth to storage rooms.

Overhauls the restrictive vanilla inventory system to accommodate a heavily modded playthrough. It adds dedicated equipment slots for your armor and cape, freeing up valuable main inventory space. It also provides dedicated quick slots for potions and food, making combat much smoother. The customizable rows and loadout management make handling massive amounts of loot a breeze.

Saves you massive amounts of time by allowing you to repair your entire base with a single click. When you use your hammer's repair function, it instantly fixes all damaged pieces within a configurable radius. This is especially crucial for massive ValheimRAFT ships or sprawling castles that constantly take weather damage. It removes the chore of maintenance while keeping your structures pristine.

Finally allows Vikings to explore the depths of the water rather than just floating on the surface. You can dive underwater, manage your breath, and explore sunken ruins or ocean floors. This pairs perfectly with ocean overhauls, allowing you to harvest underwater resources and fight aquatic enemies. It adds an entirely new vertical dimension to exploration.

Greatly improves the clunky vanilla mount mechanics for a smoother equestrian experience. It enhances riding controls, allows for mounted combat attacks, and drastically improves the flying experience for airborne mounts like dragons. This makes taming and utilizing mounts a genuinely viable strategy for combat and exploration, rather than just a novelty.

Turns fishing from a passive waiting game into an active, skill-based hunt. You can now use your spears, harpoons, and even bows to shoot and catch fish directly in the water. This makes gathering fish much faster and far more engaging, especially when diving or sailing on your raft. It perfectly fits the aggressive, survivalist theme of a Viking drifter.

Gives you complete control over your field of view and zoom distance. You can zoom out much further than vanilla allows, which is essential when sailing massive ValheimRAFT ships or fighting large bosses. It also improves visibility during combat and exploration by letting you tailor the camera to your personal preference. It's a simple client-side mod that drastically improves visual comfort.

Adds a highly practical horizontal swipe attack to all pickaxes. This makes mining ore nodes at eye level significantly easier and prevents you from constantly hitting the ground by mistake. It also turns the pickaxe into a surprisingly viable weapon against hard-armored enemies like Stone Golems. It’s a small tweak that vastly improves the fluidity of resource gathering.

Specifically targets the spawn rates of the iconic Ocean Serpents, affectionately known as 'Noodles'. It ensures that your voyages are constantly fraught with danger and opportunity, as serpents spawn much more frequently. This makes hunting for Serpent Meat and Scales a reliable activity rather than pure luck. It's an essential tweak for a sea-faring modpack.

A crucial quality-of-life mod that prevents your hard-earned loot from sinking to the bottom of the ocean. All dropped items, materials, and monster drops will now float safely on the water's surface. This is absolutely mandatory when fighting sea monsters or raiding coastal bases from your ship. You'll never lose precious cargo to the unreachable depths again.

Removes the frustrating vanilla restriction that automatically unequips your weapons and tools the moment you start swimming. You can now fight off leeches, mine submerged rocks, or defend yourself while treading water. Combined with BetterDiving, this makes aquatic combat a fully realized mechanic. You are no longer defenseless the moment you step off your raft.

A simple visual tweak that removes the massive, blinding dust cloud effect when using the cultivator tool. When planting large fields of crops, the vanilla dust can completely obscure your vision and cause performance drops. This mod keeps your screen clear and makes mass-farming a much more pleasant, streamlined experience.

The foundational mod loader that makes all other mods possible in Valheim. It intercepts the game's code and allows custom scripts, assets, and frameworks to be injected seamlessly. It comes preconfigured with the optimal settings for stability and performance. Without this core utility, the entire Raftheim experience would not exist.

The premier modding library for Valheim that provides a massive, standardized API for developers. It handles the complex logic of adding new items, pieces, and creatures to the game without breaking vanilla systems. Many of the building and content mods in this pack rely heavily on Jotunn to function properly. It ensures maximum compatibility across the modlist.

An essential in-game menu accessible by pressing F1, allowing you to tweak mod settings on the fly. You can adjust the range of CraftyBoxes, the spawn rates of animals, or camera distances without ever leaving the game or opening text files. It puts complete control over your modded experience directly at your fingertips.

A powerful background framework that allows modders and server admins to completely customize mob spawns. In this modpack, it serves as the necessary backbone that allows new creatures, renegade Vikings, and sea monsters to populate the world correctly. While you won't interact with it directly, it ensures the world feels balanced, dangerous, and alive.
