Valheim: set your world, server name and password

Valheim is configured from the Startup page.

  1. Set the Server Name, World name, and a Password.
  2. The password must be at least 5 characters and must not appear inside the server name, or the server won’t start.
  3. Restart. Your world files are saved under /.config/unity3d/IronGate/Valheim/worlds_local/.

Valheim worlds only grow as you explore and build, so back up the world files before big changes and size your plan for the mature map.
