🛡️ Valheim ModSync (Professional Edition)

An automated infrastructure tool for Valheim server administrators. This tool bridges the gap between local r2modman profiles and Dedicated Servers by providing a modular, configuration-driven sync engine.

🚀 The Problem

In Valheim modding, many plugins (UI, Camera, Lighting) are client-side only. Uploading these to a dedicated server often leads to crashes or performance issues. Manually filtering these out every time you update is tedious and error-prone.

✨ Key Features

• Logic/Data Separation: Logic resides in ModSync.bat, while all user settings are stored in config.ini.
• Dynamic Blacklisting: Easily exclude client-side-only folders (e.g., PlantEasily, FirstPersonMode) via the configuration file.
• Robust Mirroring: Uses Windows robocopy with /MIR to ensure the server is a perfect, clean reflection of your local setup.
• Path Validation: Automatically checks for environment variables and mounted network drives before execution.
• Logging: Generates a detailed sync_log.txt for auditing and troubleshooting.

🛠️ Installation & Setup

1. Download: Download the latest release (ModSync.bat and config.ini.example).
2. Setup Config: Rename config.ini.example to config.ini.
3. Configure: Open config.ini in any text editor and enter your specific source and destination paths.
4. Run: Execute ModSync.bat whenever you update your local mods.

📋 Recommended Blacklist

The following mods should typically be blacklisted for server stability: PlantEasily,FirstPersonMode
