A player asked for a way to translate the mod. Every text it shows now lives in plain JSON files instead of its code, and it ships in English and Italian. On the way, Valheim 1.0 turned out to be sorting two of the mod's stations into the wrong build menu, the Trol's True Form was switching itself off, and the Aswid's Eclipse had never worked at all.
Players running certain magic mods kept reporting purple smoke around a Skeleton's burning skull. Chasing it turned up something larger than one bad effect: the mod asks the game for things by name, and nine of those names are not in Valheim at all. Each one failed without a word, which is why an item promised since 1.4 had never once dropped and a whole attack had never made a sound.
v1.4.19 taught the Fenrir's forms to walk on other people's screens and said plainly that the attacks would need their own fix. This is it — along with a Fenrir who turned back into a human at every sunrise regardless of what the tier allowed.
Five tester reports, and four of them turn out to be the same shape of bug: something the mod computes for everyone except the player it belongs to. The Trol's height existed on every screen but their own. The Fenrir's forms animated for everyone but the transformed player's onlookers. A truced mob took a hit personally and forgot about it one frame later.
Valheim 1.0 added fields to every shop item, and a September hotfix changed how the game reads a gamepad's left stick. Both landed on this mod: the faction merchants could not open a shop window at all, and the Drake could not fly. Plus the Fenrir running at twice the speed it advertises, which has been true for a long time and nobody had measured.
Jötunn 2.30 compatibility, the Trol's stomach learning the difference between a meal and a mead, and the first half of making a gamepad a real way to play this mod: every transformed form can attack from one now.
One fix, and it's a multiplayer-only one: the peace every race is supposed to have with part of the world was silently failing for anyone who wasn't the client hosting the mob.
This build also swapped the Sverm's Yagluth form, which never made it into the changelog at the time — see the second half of this post.
Permanent claws were a standing annoyance disguised as a feature: an unremovable item sitting in a slot for the rest of the run, whether you wanted it in your hand or not. This release turns them into something you reach for instead of something you're stuck with — and fixes a race whose own frost resistance was quietly cancelling out the resistance you paid gold or a wolf pelt for.
Two versions at once, because only one of them actually shipped as its own number. v1.4.1
never got a manifest.json bump of its own — its commits rode inside the v1.4.2 release, so
this post covers both under v1.4.2's real date. Where the two overlap below, that is why.
The tenth race, a flying mount, and every existing race gets something to build.
Dragons get a sprint, a reverse gear and the ability to climb out of the sea. The Skeleton's progression finally does what its description has said all along. And three races stop being invisible to everyone but themselves.
