How do you play Valheim with more than 10 players?
Short answer
Valheim caps a session at 10 players by default. A player-limit mod raises that cap so bigger groups can share one world — you install it on the server (or host) and usually on each client too.
AzuCraftyBoxes is a Valheim mod that allows players to access and use resources from nearby containers when crafting and building, based on a configurable range and item restrictions. Restrictions are controlled by the yaml file Azumatt.AzuCraftyBoxes.yml
This mod adds extra excitement and functionality to the portal system. Teleport wolves, boars, loxes and other allies. Transport ores, ingots, carts and even take enemies with you, or block players teleporting when enemies are nearby.
Adds several potions to the game, now with improved skills, new potions, new config options, and server sync!!

The details
The core mod simply exposes the max-player value as a config setting, letting you set 16, 20, or more depending on what your server hardware can handle.
For a dedicated server this goes in the server-side config; for a hosted (peer) game the host and joiners generally all need the mod. Mismatched setups are the usual reason people can't connect.
Beyond the cap, more players means more world load — a dedicated server with decent CPU and bandwidth matters a lot more once you push past the default 10.
