📋 About This Mod

Valheim ServerSideMap

Share your map and pins with others!

This sweet mod completely moves the map and pins to the serverside, meaning you will receive

map and pin updates even while you are offline. The map and pins are saved and loaded along with the world and sent to you when you connect!

This plugin completely moves the explored map and created pins to the server.

As clients explore, they will send their explored areas to the server who will then

distribute it to all connected clients. When a client joins, the server will synchronize the

currently explored areas to the client. Pins are shared as well but default to false and need to be enabled.

When pin sharing is used, all newly created pins are send to the server who saves them along with the

explored area.

from players will be synchronized when they log back in again.
