It wasn't a long wait for some of my favorite Valheim mods to start working again after the 1.0 launch, and just as I expected, there were plenty of new fan-made features to tinker with. I'm still digging through the sea of new creations, but here's a list of some of the best Valheim mods I've found so far—along with advice on your mod manager options.

"Which mod manager do I use?" is an eternal dilemma, but I've been using Gale to mod Valheim since it works with both Thunderstore and Hexium downloads. If you're already using Thunderstore and don't feel like swapping, that should be just fine for the one site, but I like that Gale is lightweight with extended compatibility.

Most Valheim mods require BepInEx, while a ton of others require Jotunn, so you'll absolutely need the first while the second is negotiable. I recommend installing both, then launching Valheim before adding more mods into the mix. This way you can get troubleshooting the basics out of the way—you know, those modding best practices we all totally follow. Download one, launch, and test.

You could slot this under any category, so I'll just kick the list off with Valheim Plus. It's packed with options available as individual mods—some of which are covered in the list below—but most are toggleable if you don't like the effect. Returning modders may be a little confused by Grantapher's spin-off, but this is a community-sourced fix after the original modder stopped publishing updates, and widely accepted as the replacement mod.
