Welcome to R5Valkyrie
R5Valkyrie is a community-driven project focused on delivering a faster, more flexible, and more open experience for modders, server owners, and players. We started as a branch from R5Reloaded with a clear goal: do things the way we feel they need to be done. prioritizing freedom, speed, and collaboration.
Why we branched
We have a lot of respect for the work that came before us. R5Valkyrie exists because we wanted to:
- Enable more freedom with mods: Fewer restrictions, clearer APIs, and a culture that encourages experimentation and creativity.
- Give servers more control: More knobs to turn, more scripting options, and fewer constraints on how you run your community.
- Move faster: Shorter release cycles, more frequent feature drops, and a cadence that keeps up with what the community is building.
What R5Valkyrie is
- A platform for modding: A mod-friendly foundation with stable hooks, utilities, and documentation to create and share content.
- A server-first toolkit: Features designed for server owners—configuration, governance, visibility, and performance.
- A living project: We iterate quickly, take feedback seriously, and ship improvements often.
Our values
- Freedom: Encourage creation and customization without unnecessary friction.
- Velocity: Ship, learn, and iterate. Frequent releases over perfect, slow ones.
- Transparency: Communicate changes, rationale, and plans openly.
- Respect: Honor prior work and the community—this is a friendly fork with a different focus.
How to get involved
- Give feedback: Tell us what you need—mods, servers, features, docs.
- Contribute: Build or improve mods, file issues, or jump into development.
- Host a server: Put your own spin on R5Valkyrie and share it with the community.
A note on the fork
R5Valkyrie branched from R5Reloaded to pursue something different: more freedom for creators and faster iteration for everyone. We’re grateful for the foundations that enabled this work and we’re excited to push things forward in a way that aligns with our community’s needs.
