Is there a 'server sided' mod/way to increase HP/ damage of enemies without everyone needing a mod pack?

Friends wanna play valheim again, but last time we played it was really too easy. we want to artificially increase the difficulty by making enemies have more hp/ slightly more damage. However I want to know if there is a way to do this server side (dedicated) so that noone needs to install anything and can just play their vanilla game

Not sure if this helps or not, but the more players the game senses, the harder the enemy difficulty becomes to compensate for additional players...

I do not know the specific command(s) to use (someone else will post it I'm sure), but by using console command, you should be able to make the game think there are more players than there actually are, thereby increasing the enemy difficulty.
oh yeah I do remember that (that enemies increase in hp with more players), but Im not sure if theres a command for it unfortunately

Hey folks,

please remember that as of now modding is not officially supported. It's done at your own risk, there are no guarantees for future compatibility. Please keep backups of your save files before you start modding. If you need technical support, please always include a full list of active AND prior mods, since that can influence the game's behaviour with regard to bugs.

Have a good day!

oh so everyone would still need to get valheim plus too?
