NETWORK SPAWN
The Viking Longship Hub
Every public connection enters the Valhalla Ages Hub first. The Hub is built as a large Viking longship with a dragon-style prow, mast and striped sail, shields, lighting, and a central spawn deck.
The Hub is protected. Build your actual base and progression in Easy or Medium rather than around network spawn.
WORLD 01 · LIVE
Easy
For players who want the full technology, magic, space, automation, and exploration experience with more forgiving survival rules and stronger quality-of-life protections.
WORLD 02 · LIVE
Medium
For players who want the intended long-form progression experience with tighter survival rules, meaningful advancement, and the same protected public-server infrastructure.
DIRECT-DOWNLOAD NOTICE
CurseForge may warn about files that are not on CurseForge
This warning is expected for the direct-download Test 5 package. The ZIP is distributed directly from mc.valhallaviking.com rather than installed from a CurseForge project listing.
- Make sure the ZIP came from mc.valhallaviking.com. You may compare it with the SHA-256 checksum published above.
- When CurseForge says This modpack contains files that aren't on CurseForge, check I understand that installing all files is at my own risk.
- Choose All Files. Do not select CurseForge Files Only, because required profile files would be omitted.
- If CurseForge presents another I Understand acknowledgement, accept it to continue the import.
This warning describes CurseForge's moderation status for manually shared files; it does not mean the Valhalla Ages server is offline. The public network is live at play.valhallaviking.com.
QUICK TROUBLESHOOTING
Can't Join?
- Confirm the server address is exactly
play.valhallaviking.com. - Confirm you launched Valhalla Ages Test 5, not vanilla Minecraft or an older Test build.

- If the profile was modified manually, import a clean copy of Test 5 and try again.
