Server Side Chat Filter

Valheim Plus Server Side Chat Filter

Chat Filter is a server-side only HarmonyX mod for Valheim.

This mod filters profanities and censors them in the in game chat.

Everything is done server side, clients connecting to your server do not need to install this mod.

It censors the words for every one else in the server but the person who wrote the message will still see the profanities used.

Default Profanity Filter

By default the chat filter has a premade list so you can use it out of the box with no configuration. The default list of profanities can be seen in the library we implemented here.

Dependencies

BepInEx - The mod is loaded into Valheim using BepInEx.

It will work on a vanilla server as long as you run BepInEx along side it.

It should also work along side any other mods, including existing chat mods.
