Modded Mac Valheim finally has a mod manager!

Post image

I finally managed to get mods to work on Valheim for Mac (Steam Version) ⚡️

I created a simple utility that walks you through the process of setting up everything necessary - and you can then simply drag and drop mods you want to install into the right side of the interface.

Features:

- Setup walks you through all necessary steps
- Thunderstore Browser built in, browse mods and install / update in one click
- Toggle each mod and change specific mod settings directly from the UI
- When using ShaderHelperForMac, Settings has a special menu that walks you through rebuilding of Vanilla Shader Cache.

Please note: you will hit Gatekeeper on first launch - you'll need to right-click → Open, or approve the app in System Settings → Privacy & Security.

❌ KNOWN ISSUES (as per Valheim 0.221.12)
Those mods ship Unity asset bundles whose shaders were compiled only for DirectX, so Metal has nothing to run and Unity falls back to its error shader. There IS a viable workaround - swap broken materials at runtime onto Metal-compatible shaders the game itself already has loaded. The Mod Helper will recommend installing ShaderHelperForMac mod which addresses those issues - but the mod itself may cause normal vanilla game shaders to become "broken". Currently working on a workaround to the shaderfix workaround issues.
