Black Forest — Valheim Location
Black Forest world-generation rules in Valheim 1.0: how many copies a world places, the biome and altitude it needs, its spacing and footprint, and how far the nearest copy sits from spawn.
Runestone Black Forest Verified 1.0
If the name comes up struck through, this world has no room for it — type your own seed and the map looks again.
Nearest copy over 600 sampled worlds generated by our world map: closest seen 500 m, typical 781 m, and in 9 worlds out of 10 within 1,310 m — straight-line from the spawn area.
How it generates
| Prefab | Per world | Biome area | Altitude | Min spacing | Footprint |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Runestone_BlackForest | 50 | Everything | above 1 m | ≥ 128 m | 8 m radius |
- Biome area — “Median” means the zone and all eight of its neighbours must share the biome, so it never generates on a biome border; “Everything” may place anywhere inside the biome.
- Footprint is the exclusion radius the generator keeps clear around the piece, not the size of the structure you walk into.
- Per world counts placement attempts, so a number here is an upper bound — terrain checks decide how many actually land (see the sampled-worlds figures above). unique is a separate flag: the table checks it once before placement begins, to skip re-rolling these on a world that already exists, and it does not cap the attempts a fresh world makes.
- Terrain tolerance — the generator allows up to 3 m of height change across the footprint (no minimum) .

The interactive map generates your world from its seed and marks every one of these, or use the seed finder to search for a world that places them the way you want.
Common questions
- How many "Black Forest" does one Valheim world place?
- A fresh world makes 50 placement attempts for Black Forest.
- Where does Black Forest spawn?
- Black Forest generates in Black Forest, under the “Everything” rule — it may place anywhere inside the biome. Altitude: above 1 m.
- How far is the nearest Black Forest from spawn?
- Measured over 600 sampled worlds, the closest copy was 500 m from the spawn area, the typical distance was 781 m, and in 9 worlds out of 10 it sat within 1,310 m. All distances are straight-line.
- How much space does Black Forest need to generate?
- The generator keeps a 8 m exclusion radius clear around each placement and requires at least 128 m to the nearest similar placement, with terrain varying by no more than 3 m across the footprint. The exclusion radius is clearance the terrain must offer, not the size of the structure you walk into.
