About this mod

Valheim World intended to be used for play containing many custom built locations and places of interest for players to explore. All construction was done in creative mode so that the world, ore deposits, trees, etc. are all untouched and ready for a new player.

Permissions and credits
There are two different versions of this world.  
  • MMI Starter   -- Contains all of the structures but most of the portals and all of the crafting gear & things that would provide progression have been removed.
  • MMI PreBuilt  -- Fully populated with everything in place including all portals, crafting gear, trophies, hung up weapons, etc.

The Starter world is intended for people to play the game in from the beginning and allows normal progression and advancement but with a lot of pre-built locations for the player to inhabit.  Most of the locations need to be discovered by the player and won't have portals so lots of sea travel will be required to explore the world.  Since its a big world and missing out is no fun, there are stone shrines with arrows pointing to one or more nearby locations placed on the coast spread all over the map.  I feel this just increases the desire to expolore and rewards players.  Valheim is fun, but once you've explored a bit and found all the biomes there is very little reason to keep exploring the world.  In the MMI Starter world there are really interesting locations to find!

The Pre-Built world is more of a showcase with many of the locations fully populated with everything one might desire.  It is fun to look at and some of the locations are really cool (particularly the Mountain Castle).  But because there is so much in place and all the portals are setup it would not be much fun for playing the game.

Thanks for the inspiration

Thanks go to the following YouTubers for the inspiration to build certain locations or general building guides/advice:

Play Notes
The world seed is "epicfail" which I took awhile to research and provides for what I consider a really nice world with a very large starting continent.

There is a path near the starting spawn location to a small house with a dock.  Obvious a good place to start, but there are vastly better places to call home that you'll find by exploring.  There are 3 small houses on the starter continent plus one very large location.  Since the starting continent is very big I've placed a few stone shrines to help guide the player in finding these locations.

Beyond the starter continent there are many docks, houses, large facilities, two harbors and even a mountain castle to be found.  Most (but not all) locations have a dock so that they can be found from sailing coast lines.  There are pre-built locations in every biome except the Deep North (because there is literally nothing there yet).  Since Valheim has a relatively large map and sailing can be slow there are many stone shrines placed along the coast to help guide the player to interesting locations.  Many locations and even more stone shrines are located on the coasts of islands and continents surrounding the starting continent.  Most far off locations have arrows near the starting continent to point the player in the right direction (sometimes for a very long trip).

There are several portal hubs in the world.  In "MMI PreBuilt" all of them are fully populated with portals and there is a portal to absolutely every pre-built location.  In "MMI Starter" the hubs remain but most of the portals have been removed.  If you can find the Grand Hub a portal to the trader remains.  This is because the trader sells some very useful things that can really benefit the player early on but it can be very difficult to find the trader.  Here is a hint, there is a very large stone shrine with a portal to the Grand Hub somewhere on the starting continent.

Terrain & Performance
Please note that the terrain for all locations that had significant terrain modification has been optimized to use the new terrain modification system implemented and released by the Valheim developers in a recent game update.
