According to mrholmestv, the map, titled "The New World," is built entirely with vanilla assets, ensuring that it can be enjoyed by all players without the need for any Valheim mods. However, to enhance the experience and immersion, mrholmestv has suggested a list of mods available on Thunderstore, including FirstPersonMode, OdinHorse, VillageNPCs, AzuWearNTearPatches, NoSmokeStayLit, and MistBeGone. These mods aren’t necessary, but they can enhance the player’s experience.

The Valheim community has quickly taken to this new map. Many players are excited and looking for tips on how to make the most of it. The map creator, mrholmestv, has been actively interacting with the community, providing tips and guidance to help players. Mrholmestv’s playable adventure map shows how far the Valheim community can keep pushing the limits of the game.
