The Valheim devs have posted an update on the game's official website, detailing the attitude Iron Gate Studio has made towards its game. In short, mods are A-Okay, as long as they aren't paywalled and clearly marked as unofficial.
This post, an attempt to set straight exactly what kind of mods have the developers' approval, comes following months of community outcry for official mod support for the MMORPG. The game has had a dedicated modding community for some time now, however without an official stance on the subject, many have been confused and concerned on the validity of such content in the eyes of Valheim's creators.
The first major point of order addressed in the statement was the team's attitude towards mods for Valheim. "First of all, while we don’t have any official mod support, we are definitely happy to see that people are engaging with our game and creating their own mods for it. It’s definitely flattering that you want to be creative and add your own ideas! Iron Gate not having any official mod support essentially means that any creating and using of mods is done at your own risk, and that we can’t guarantee that mods will be compatible with newer versions of the game."
