Installation

Blót is one mod that goes on the server and on every player's game. A player without it — or with a different minor version — is refused when joining (Jotunn's version check).

Requirements

Mod	Version
BepInExPack Valheim	5.4.2360 or newer
Jotunn	2.30.2 or newer
YamlDotNet (ValheimModding-YamlDotNet)	16.3.1 or newer
ServerGuard	Optional, 2.2 or newer — see Discord and ServerGuard

With a mod manager

Install Blot with r2modman, Thunderstore Mod Manager or Gale. The dependencies are installed with it. Do the same on the server's profile.

By hand

1. Install BepInEx, Jotunn and YamlDotNet.
2. Copy Blot.dll to BepInEx/plugins/TaegukGaming-Blot/ — on the server and on every client.
3. Start the server once. It writes:
   • BepInEx/config/com.taeguk.valheim.blot.cfg — the settings (Configuration).
   • BepInEx/config/Blot/offerings.yaml and blessings.yaml — the tables, editable live.
   • BepInEx/config/Blot/<world id>/ — the world's points and blessings.

Single-player and hosted worlds

Blót also works on a world you host from the game. You are the admin there automatically, and votes pass at once when you are the only player.

Check that it works

• The log (BepInEx/LogOutput.log) shows Blot 0.3.1 loaded on both sides, and on the server Blot server active: world …, pool 0, offered 0.
• Hover over an Obliterator's lever in game: you should see Blot - pool 0 | Restock sealed | Regrowth sealed.

Updating from 0.2.x

0.3.0 removed Ragnarök, the Heritage Stone, finishers, Heirloom Kits and titles.

• Placed Heritage Stones disappear when their area loads (the game deletes pieces whose mod part is gone). Their materials are not refunded.
• A permanent blessing or difficulty an admin had set is rolled back once at the first start; the log says Rolled back the 0.2.x ….
• Your pool, the realm total and everyone's totals are kept. Each player's total becomes their old "all cycles" number.
• Old files (credits.yaml, titles.yaml, pending.yaml, stamps*.bin, backups/) are no longer used and can be deleted.

ServerGuard's allowed-mods list

If the server runs ServerGuard with allowUnlisted: false, add Blót to allowed_mods.yaml with the SHA-256 of the exact Blot.dll you installed, and update it after every Blót update:

  - com.taeguk.valheim.blot|<sha256 of Blot.dll>
