Sizing
Which plan fits your Valheim server?
Our estimate of the memory a Valheim server uses, and the smallest plan that covers it. Heavy modpacks can need double.
Vanilla Valheim allows 10 players per world. Lite handles a full 10-player server; choose Plus for large mod packs or very big bases.
| Players | Vanilla | Lightly modded |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | ≈ 3.2 GB · Lite | ≈ 4.8 GB · Plus |
| 5 | ≈ 3.5 GB · Lite | ≈ 5.3 GB · Plus |
| 10 | ≈ 4.0 GB · Lite | ≈ 6.0 GB · Plus |
Networking
Valheim ports.
The game's default ports are below. Your server gets its own ports, already open, and its address shows in your client area the moment it is built.
| Default port | Protocol | Used for |
|---|---|---|
| 2456 | UDP | Game port |
| 2457 | UDP | Steam query port |
