Here's how to increase max players to allow more than 10 players at once on your Valheim server.
By default, Valheim dedicated servers support up to 10 players; this can be increased by installing a mod such as Valheim Plus or MaxPlayerCount.
While this version of Valheim Plus is currently the most up-to-date, this may change in the future.
You may encounter performance issues or unexpected bugs with higher player counts, as Valheim is designed for up to 10 players; increase max players at your own risk.

We recommend installing Valheim Plus due to it including a wider list of features; the only caveat is that all players connecting must also install this mod locally.
