📣 Jotunheim Reset –

Apr 18, 2026Announcements

📣 Jotunheim Reset – April 24, 2026


The old world has reached its end.
Its halls will fall silent… its stories forever etched in stone.

A new era is on the horizon.

⸻

📅 The Reset
On the evening of Friday , April 24th, Jotunheim begins anew with a fresh seed.

This age will bring a different experience:

* Yes Map / Yes Portals
* Reduced skill loss on death
* Adjusted mob difficulty (lower than current, not higher)
* Keep equipped items on death
* Faster movement and reduced stamina usage on roads/paths

And beyond that… something new lingers.
Changes shaped by Odin himself are coming, but to discover them… you must… PAFO.

⸻

🔥 Final Hours
Before the veil falls, chaos will descend.

From Wednesday through Friday, the end begins.

A short but brutal Mini Ragnarok:

* Open tickets to request personal base raids
* Dangerous enemies roam the world, from empowered mobs to overleveled bosses
* A final battle awaits on Friday
* Rumors speak of a player-built last stand fortress

No promises. No mercy. Nowhere is safe.

If it comes, it will be sudden… and unforgettable.

⸻

⚠️ Before the End
• Save what matters – screenshots of builds, and memories.
• Review the rules: https://jotun.games/rules/
• Prepare yourself (and your crew) for day one

⸻

🪓 The new world won’t wait for mortals.
Be ready when it opens.

🛡️ Jotunheim rises again.

* Thor

PS – Final Popup Shop is this Sunday https://discord.com/channels/816387080334737436/936086698566221824/1494879552462262353

⚠️ Valheim Update – Temporary Client Rollback Required

Feb 19, 2026Announcements

⚠️ Valheim Update – Temporary Client Rollback Required

Valheim has pushed a new update, but the default_old branch was NOT moved to the previous stable build. <:facepalm:1118560539350683658>
Our server can’t be updated yet until our server devs update our mod. (It's a weekday and very early hours, it can be a while.)

✅ Server is still on the previous working version.
❌ If your Valheim client auto-updated, you won’t be able to join Jotunheim until you roll back.


HOW TO ROLL BACK VIA STEAM CONSOLE
*Generic Windows instructions*

1) Open Run (Windows Key + R)
2) Paste: steam://open/console
3) In the Steam Console tab, run the command for your platform:

• Windows:
download_depot 892970 892972 3634973594554970753

• Steam Deck / Linux: (If you use Proton to run Valheim, use the Windows depot above, not this one.)
download_depot 892970 892971 888899484339781474

• Mac: (To open Steam console on Mac, in a web browser go to: steam://nav/console)
download_depot 892970 892973 4278622241741281025

Steam will download the older files and show you the folder path when finished.
Copy the downloaded files into your Valheim install folder.

Optional (recommended): Duplicate your current Valheim folder first (e.g. rename to Valheim-Jotunheim),
then copy the rollback files into that folder so Steam updates don’t instantly overwrite it.

We’ll post again as soon as the server mod update is complete and the server is updated.
Thanks for the patience.

@Patchnotes We've got a couple of fixes for you today! 🔨 You can read the patch notes here:
https://valheim.com/news/patch-0-221-12

Please also note that playing using Vulkan might currently cause Valheim to be unstable and/or crash. If you want to continue using Vulkan, you can disable the FPS limiters in e.g. the Nvidia Control Panel for a hopefully smoother experience. Rest assured that we're working on a solution for the Vulkan issue, however, and that it should hopefully be back to normal soon!

Jan 21, 2026Announcements

Hey all, long time no see! I am getting back into the swing of things, and for starters I have uploaded a copy of the previous world saves for anyone who would like them. The Ninth world is our Immersive V2 seed, saved just before Ragnarok began. You can copy these maps to your local folder and play in single player to explore all the incredible builds we made in immersive mode (no map no portal). Feel free to enjoy this however you like. <a:beedance:777338085495144488>

There's only one rule: You may not claim someone else's work as your own. If you do make a video or screenshot and share it, just give credit to the original creator and Jotunheim. If you're not sure who the original creator is, ask here or give credit to the Jotunheim server. Anyone caught uploading screenshots/videos of another player's work and claiming it as their own will be hit with a permanent ban and their content will be reported/deleted as appropriate.

Please note: The world files are big, as this is a large, fully generated map with many players and countless builds. Many PCs cannot handle it or will run very slowly. Regardless of your PC, it takes a long time to load up at first, so give it a bit of time before quitting on it when you first launch. Remember that this runs on a high-end dedicated server rig. Your machine playing it in a solo world may struggle. Also, the server mods don't typically work in single player/private servers so some of the unique Jotunheim features (small wards, safe zones, etc.) may not function.

Ninth Jotunheim World – saved on November 12 at 12:14AM CST. – Just before Ragnarok on Immersive V2.

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the Hall

Dec 24, 2025Announcements

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the Hall
Not a creature was stirring, not warrior nor thrall.
And I in my armor, my shield and my helm
Was drunker than anyone else in the Realm.

I staggered upstairs and fell into bed
While four quarts of mead were ablaze in my head.
Then up from below came the sounds of a brawl
So I grabbed up my axe and ran down to the Hall.

I missed the last step and crashed down in a heap
Thinking, "Why can't those low-lifes downstairs go to sleep!"
When what to my wondering eyes should appear
But two brawny strangers, wielding mallet and spear.

I said to myself, "We'll soon have them beat!"
Then I noticed ten warriors laid out at their feet.
I gave out a yell and leapt into the fray…
I'll always regret my poor choice of that day.

For the one laid his hammer to the side of my nose
And up, up, up to the rafters I rose.
Then came a lone frightened voice from the floor,
"Those are no mortal warriors — that's Odin and Thor!"

Then they looked at each other and they said, "Battle's done.
Now they know who we are, it no longer is fun."
Then Thor raised his hammer, and his elbow he bent,
And with a loud crash, through the ceiling they went.

I crawled through the Hall and flung open the door,
Not really sure that I'd seen them before.
The snow bathed in starlight, the moon like a glede,
I saw them ride off on an eight-legged steed.

And I heard them exclaim, 'ere they flew out of sight,
"TO HELA WITH CHRISTMAS, WE JUST LOVE A GOOD FIGHT!"

Hey all.

Nov 27, 2025Announcements

Hey all.

Today, at least for some of us, is a day to gather with friends and family to give thanks for the bounty of the past YEAR. Eat good food, tell stories, and make memories.

For those of us in this community who for whatever reason are not able to gather with your people, I am opening Huginn's hall so we can eat and be together in community, at least somewhere.

I usually try to be present for these events, but sadly this year if I am able to make it, I will be quite late. Luckily some of the staff have agreed to be there at different times in my stead.

So feel free to come by the hall, get some food, tell a story or two. Share in this time of giving thanks, together.

And to every one of you, I give thanks you are here.

A New Age Begins

Nov 15, 2025Announcements

A New Age Begins

The server is now live with the seed reset!

What To Do To Get In
Just connect, nothing else!

What's new?
Difficulty Changes
In this seed, we've made some changes to the difficulty:
– Enemies deal 50% more damage.
– Enemies move 20% faster and are 20% bigger.
– You only lose 1% of skills on death (instead of 5%).
– You don't drop equipped items on death (unequipped items still drop).
– Movement costs 10% less stamina.

Harbor Master
There is a new face at the Jotunheim Docks! Go to the Harbor Master to claim your free Karve. See below:
– You only get one Karve, once you claim it you can never claim it again.
– The Free Karve you get will not drop resources, so don't destroy it until you're ready to be done with it!
– The Free Karve can only be used and accessed by the person who claimed it. Nobody else can drive it or use the cargo hold.
– The Free Karve cannot take damage unless the person who claimed it is nearby.
– The Free Karve will automatically expire in 14 days, so use it while you have it.

Portals
Your map and portals are back, but the limits have changed. See:

Solo Players
– Solo players will have access to 6 Private Portals at the start.
– Every time you defeat a boss, you will gain 2 more up to a maximum of 20.

Group Players
– Group players will have access to 2 Private Portals.
– You cannot create a group if you have more than 2 Private Portals.
– Group players in groups of 2 or more will have access 6 Group Portals at the start.
– Every time anyone in your group defeats a boss, you will gain 2 more up to a Maximum of 20.
– When a player leaves or joins a group, the bosses they specifically defeated will leave and join with them.
– Being in a solo group is not a good idea. You'll have 0 group portals, and 2 private portals.

Public Portals
– All players will have access to 10 Public Portals.
– Public portal limits are on a per-player basis, so the limit is not shared with your group.

Other
– Wisps can now be upgraded at the cost of materials, and each time they get rid of a larger amount of mist!
– Vidar's can't be put on catapults.
– The Path Speed Buff from the previous seed is still active.
– The Compass has been disabled.
– Tons of small bugfixes and QoL improvements.
– Some new places respawn.
– Some great admin tools that now make event zones super easy to create and change on the fly!

As always, if you encounter any weird issues let me know!

Aug 10, 2025Announcements

As is tradition, I have uploaded a copy of the previous world saves for anyone who would like them. The Eighth world is our Bog Witch seed, saved just before Ragnarok began. You can copy these maps to your local folder and play in single player to explore all the incredible builds we made since the beginning of the Ashlands update. Feel free to enjoy this however you like. <a:beedance:777338085495144488>

There's only one rule: You may not claim someone else's work as your own. If you do make a video or screenshot and share it, just give credit to the original creator and Jotunheim. If you're not sure who the original creator is, ask here or give credit to the Jotunheim server. Anyone caught uploading screenshots/videos of another player's work and claiming it as their own will be hit with a permanent ban and their content will be reported/deleted as appropriate.

Please note: The world files are big, as this is a large, fully generated map with many players and countless builds. Many PCs cannot handle it or will run very slowly. Regardless of your PC, it takes a long time to load up at first, so give it a bit of time before quitting on it when you first launch. Remember that this runs on a high-end dedicated server rig. Your machine playing it in a solo world may struggle. Also, the server mods don't typically work in single player/private servers so some of the unique Jotunheim features (small wards, safe zones, etc.) may not function.

Eighth Jotunheim World – saved on July 25, 2025 at 7:16PM CST. – Just before Ragnarok and Immersive Seed V2.

Aug 5, 2025Announcements

Greetings We'd like to bring back the Cartographer Contest. When your map is complete, send us your creation via DM. The person/group that has the most accurate map will win a classic Flame Sword that will be delivered next seed(After Elder kill). To keep this fair, we will only be offering one per entry. If a group submitted it, your crew will need to decide collectively who gets the sword.

For the purposes of "Immersive Mode" only, it is completely allowed to try and map out the in-world map on paper or in some digital art form and share those maps amongst yourselves. We'll be curious to see how much of the map can be accurately drawn out by the end of the seed. But be warned: Any attempts to find, use, or exploit the seed to get a true copy of the map will result in an immediate and permanent ban! Don't be that person.

Ragnarok will mark the end of the contest. All submissions must be in before the start of Ragnarok. We will make a post to remind everyone when the time comes.

DM your submissions to or . When this Immersive experiences has concluded, we'll post the actual map of this seed and the map of the winner.

Edit: Winner of the last contest https://discord.com/channels/816387080334737436/816454945649590315/1144002617106772109

Two part Announcement

Aug 4, 2025Announcements

# Two part Announcement

Firstly! There is a new Discord Role.

There is no higher compliment in Old Norse than to call someone a "Drengr," which in the sagas implies a person that demonstrates reckless courage but also honor and fair play. Drengr was above and apart from rank, standing, even gender.

Here on Jotunheim if you are a champion of one of our many events then you are pronounced a Drengr and receive this champions role with a special color and your name separate from the rest of the …for a time.

No Champion may rest on their laurels and no Drengr is forever.

But do not despair shield-brethren! Any event counts! The ones you know and love like Siege Siblings, The Great Hunt, and of course Screenshot of the Week, as well as a few not yet announced events to come.

Speaking of…

# <:raven:1154591249844670504> 📸 Screenshot of the Week Winner and the First Drengr of Jotunheim Is !!! <:Camera:439323020293701642> <:raven:1154591249844670504>

Prizes for Screenshot of the Week are the Discord Role for one week and a free Aesir placed, and especially tasty, pickable plant. Your choice of Raspberry, Blueberry, or a Red Mushroom. (Open a support ticket for delivery)

Your submission along with your name will also be featured on the Official Jotunheim social media channels!

Submissions for this week are still open until 12:00 PM on Friday!

📣 Jotunheim Announcement – A New Age Begins August 1st

Jul 25, 2025Announcements

📣 Jotunheim Announcement – A New Age Begins August 1st

A storm brews on the horizon…
And with it, a new chapter for Jotunheim.

⸻

📅 Launch Date
Jotunheim will reset with a brand new seed on the evening of Friday, August 1st.
This marks a fresh start, a new world, new adventures, and a renewed vision for how we experience Valheim together.
Typically we only reset when Irongate releases a major content update. However, as we get closer to 1.0, that needs to change.
Since the time between updates is running long, we've decided to launch a mini-seed to hold us over until the next major content drop.

This seed may run shorter than normal. Knowing that, we’re bringing back another Immersive experience No Map / No Portals.

There are some goodies in the works to make this one truly memorable. I’m not going into detail just yet. We’re keeping the details under wraps for now and we want you to discover it in-game.

⸻

🔨 Vidar Hammer & Moar Snap Angle Challenge

Vidar
• Participation in each seed is required to retain Vidar status, except when we clearly define an exemption before the seed begins.
• For the upcoming immersive seed, we’re offering a one-time exemption; if you choose not to play and/or don’t claim your Vidar, it will carry over to the next seed.
• Future seeds will each be unique in some way. Because of that, this may be the last time a Vidar skip is offered. Continually allowing skips would undermine the intent of Vidar carryovers; a reward for loyal players who return seed after seed.

Moar Snap
• If you’ve completed the Moar Snap Angles Challenge, this is how you maintain access going forward:
To keep Moar Snap unlocked for future seeds, you must submit a public build each seed and have it approved.

⸻

🔥 Ragnarok Event – July 25 to July 31
To honor the end of this age, we unleash Ragnarok. A 7-day PvE event where the world descends into chaos.

🛡️ Theme:
• Voluntary participation
• PvE-only
• Focused on public/server builds; with optional personal base defense

⸻

🗺️ Stages

⚠️ Stage 1 – The Warning
📆 Friday, July 25
• The prophecy is spoken, Ragnarok approaches
• A 24-hour warning to prepare and fortify bases
• No raids or spawners yet
• The world will be backed up today and shared after the new seed begins

💀 Stage 2 – The Invasion
📆 Saturday, July 26 – Sunday, July 27
• Indestructible spawners begin to appear across the map
• Starred bosses start spawning on Day 2
• Expect chaos; like 10⭐ Bridge Trolls threatening key locations

⚔️ Stage 3 – The Fall
📆 Monday, July 28 – Thursday, July 31
• Players may request personal base raids. Prepare your Helms Deep defenses!
• Staff-led boss raids target major landmarks
• 📢 On July 31, full-scale raids activate across the server

🌋 Stage 4 – The Reset
📆 Friday, August 1
• 🔥 Ragnarok culminates in a final showdown on Admin Island
• 🔓 All protections drop… Unbreakable Oaths and Mystical Forces are broken
• 🔥 Fire spread is turned on globally
• 🛡️ Server infrastructure is no longer protected
• The realm is fully exposed for one final chaotic day
• That evening, the new world seed launches, and a new age begins

⸻

⚠️ What You Need to Do Now
1. Read the new rules
2. Join us for Ragnarok if you want to fight
3. Prepare for a fresh start on August 1st

⸻

🪓 Prepare your axes. Fortify your halls. Summon your kin.
Ragnarok is coming.

🛡️ For Jotunheim,

📣 Jotunheim Announcement – A New Vision Unfolds (Part 1 of 2)

Jul 24, 2025Announcements

📣 Jotunheim Announcement – A New Vision Unfolds (Part 1 of 2)

Greetings,

Today, I bring you the first of two important announcements.
The second… coming tomorrow… will herald the end of this age…

But first:

⚔️ A New Direction for Jotunheim

We’re officially moving away from the Vanilla tag that has defined us for so long.
Going forward, each seed will be unique in some way, with fresh ideas, experiments, and experiences.
Some changes will be small. Some will be bold. But each one will help us shape a realm that evolves as Valheim itself marches toward 1.0.

With that shift comes an updated vision… and new foundations.

⸻

🛡️ New Rules & Staffing Structure

Starting today, we’re launching a simplified rule set and a restructured staff system — both are live now.

📜 Rules Update
📌 Everyone must read the updated rules: https://jotun.games/rules/

• Our new vision sets the stage for us to modify and remove quite a few rules.
• We’re simplifying our rules and moving away from preserving the “Vanilla” experience.
• Things like the Price List are now optional, and limitations on sharing and trading are being lifted.
• Read the rules page for full details on all the new rule changes.
• The Price List, FAQ/Jotunheim Manual, and Rules pages have all been updated.

⸻

🏛️ New Staff Structure
Jotunheim now operates under a clear chain of command:
Allfather → Norn → Aesir → Staff

• Allfather (Odin) sets the vision and leads our Dev team
• 4 Norns lead core domains: Thor, Moon, Loki, and Heimdall
• Each Norn manages 1–3 Aesir (Admins): Forseti, Nova, Hodr, Huginn, and Vale
• Each Aesir runs a dedicated focus area with their own staff teams
(Whitelisting, Moderation, Events, Support, Restoration, etc.)

We’re no longer a single blob of “Moderators.”
Instead, we’re building tight, focused teams led by passionate players.

🎯 Now Recruiting for the Following Roles:
• Whitelister – Processes new player whitelist applications
• Ullr (Events) – Design, run, and support server events
• Community – Moderates Discord/in-game & engages players
• World Builder – Builds server infrastructure: roads, bridges, events, etc.

🔒 Internal Roles (Promoted from Staff):
• Valkyrie – Investigates and bans rulebreakers
• Vithar – Restores the world and resources
• Player Support – Handles support tickets

⸻

📅 Tomorrow: Part 2 – Will herald the end of an age

Prepare yourselves. The end is near.

🛡️ For Jotunheim,

May 20, 2025Announcements

I know there are lots of questions out there about how this server is run and what the plans are for the future. I'm going to be trying to set some time aside here and there to hop into voice and answer as many questions as I can in a sort of AMA-style fashion. Doesn't have to be too formal unless a ton of people show up and we need to structure it. Frankly, I have no idea if this is something people are interested in or not.

Today I'll be doing it on my lunch break, starting shortly here at 12:00PM EST (May 20, 2025 11:00 AM in your time zone). I will hang out for about half an hour or so.

Next time I will try to do this with less of a short notice. I plan to do this a few times at different hours of availability for different people.

The server is now live with the latest update.

Mar 20, 2025Announcements

The server is now live with the latest update.

What To Do To Get In
1. Make sure you turn off the beta and go back to the regular game in steam. ("None" is the correct one, "default_old" is not correct)
2. That's it, log back in and enjoy!

What's in the update?
This is a minor patch update with some fixes:
– Fix a crash on Xbox that could occur when entering suspend mode while playing online multiplayer
– Fix memory leak for HUDs of dead enemies
– Moved pause menu back to where it originally was
– Fix two cases of log spam for server hosts related to block and permitted lists
– It’s now possible to hide boss and death markers via controller again

But wait there's more!
I have received some feedback that after a previous update the console has become hard to read for some people. As such, I have made the following changes to the mod:
– Font size in the console scales inversely based on GuiScale setting. That means if you adjust you GuiScale to 50%, console font size no longer appears half the size.
– Font size in the console is configurable with a console command! The default value is 12.0, and yes it accepts decimals. To use it, simply type fontsize 12 to set your fontsize to 12. Minimum value is 2, maximum value is 60.
– Your adjusted font size will be remembered and saved, so you only need to adjust it once.

As always, if you encounter any weird new issues let me know!

Mar 12, 2025Announcements

Wanted to send out a PSA on a scam that is circulating around Steam.

The way it works is someone (usually on your friends list) sends you a pretty official looking message to join a playtest for a game (usually called SAND). When you click the link, it looks exactly like a legitimate steam page. When you click "Accept" on that next page, it asks you to login to confirm, and that's where they get access to your account.

The server is now live with the latest update!

What To Do To Get In
1. If you changed your version on steam, make sure you turn off the beta and go back to the regular game in steam. ("None" is the correct one, "default_old" is not correct)
2. If you did any workaround to download and previous versions of Valheim, be sure your Valheim is updated to the latest version.
3. Unfortunately this update touched some core things and a core mod update is needed. This isn't too difficult to do. Download and install the latest JotunheimStub. You can do this via the installer automatically (windows users), or the zip file manually. NOTE: This is a simpler update than usual, so using the manual method you can just replace your JotunheimStub.dll with the one from the zip file. It's in the Plugins folder in the BepInEx folder. You can find the files in #channel.
4. That's it, log back in and enjoy!

What's in the update?
– Mostly minor bugfixes and optimizations, with a bunch of platform support stuff that doesn't affect us as we're all PC/Steam.
– Full patch notes can be found here: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/892970/view/529839807839340527?l=english

The new ticketing system is now online. As this is a brand new and internally built tool, you may encounter issues. If you do, please let us know! We will be working to continually improve this system, but as of right now it is purely meant as a replacement for the existing one.

You'll notice there are new types of tickets for support when opening a support ticket. Please choose carefully based on your issue:
– Spell Claim: When you are claiming a spell from the admin shop, use this!
– Supporter Perks: When you are claiming supporter perks, use this!
– Bug Report: When you encounter a bug, use this!
– General Support: For anything else not captured in the above options, use this!

I'll now be diverting attention to getting the PTB patch updated, so hang tight until then!

Mar 4, 2025Announcements

You may have noticed that our tickets are temporarily closed. This is only for the next 24 hours as we transition to a new internally made ticketing system. This is because one of our ticketing bot providers has decided to sunset their bot effective in a couple days. To get ahead of this, we've developed our own system that we hope to continually improve as it's more purpose-built for Jotunheim.

In order to support this effort, we will need to close out any existing tickets. This means that if a resolution can not be reached immediately (i.e. 12 hours or less), all whitelist and support tickets will be closed regardless. The transcripts will be saved and the tickets can be resumed after the transition completes. Apologies for the inconvenience and we hope you'll bear with us as we deal with any issues that arise as a result of this transition.

Jan 13, 2025Announcements

On Jotunheim, where sturdy longhouses, and magnificent halls rise against the wild Norse landscape, a new challenge beckons the most dedicated Vikings. Introducing the Moar Snap Angles Challenge. This is no simple test of hammer and timber—only those who have truly proven their commitment to our community and shown mastery in their craft may embark on this trial. Should you succeed you will stand among Jotunheim’s most skilled builders, and will be rewarded with 16x snap angles on your Vidar hammer. We're excited to see how these master architects will shape our lands as never before.
Be warned: Only one Viking can attempt the challenge at a time. This will push your building skills to their limits and demand advanced building techniques to complete. Read on to see if you have what it takes to claim your place in The Hall of Stoosh.

Requirements:
– Played on Jotunheim for at least two seeds.
– Member of the community for at least 6 months.
– Has claimed Vidar's Hammer at least 2 times and has claimed Vidar on the current seed.
– No instances of any rule issues within the last year.
– Player has made a contribution to the server this seed in the form of one public building.
– Build must be made officially public via a support ticket and approved by an admin.
– Public builds built by more than one person do not qualify, even if approved as a public building.

How to:
1. If you meet all of these criteria, you must undergo a test, replicating a specific building at the Moar Snap Angles challenge area.
– Only one player can undergo the challenge at a time.
– You have two weeks to complete it.
– Instructions on how to access the test area will be provided in your Support Ticket.
2. To attempt the challenge you need to open a support ticket stating you'd like to take on the Moar Snap Angles Challenge. You also need to provide a screenshot, and the POS of the public build you submitted this seed that was approved by an admin.
3. When you feel you have fully re-created the building for the test, ping in your support ticket, and we will review your test re-creation to determine if you passed or failed.
– You get two chances to pass.
– If you fail the first inspection, you can either stop the challenge, and try one more time at a later date when you feel you're ready or attempt to fix the build, and then request one final inspection for this seed.
– No hints will be provided as to why you failed your first inspection.
– If you fail a second time, you must wait until the next seed to try again.
– If the admin has deemed you've passed the test, we will respond to you in your support ticket letting you know.

How to re-earn the additional snap angles on a new seed, if you've completed the challenge on last seed:
– Coming soon. We'll provide details at a later date.

Special Thank you to who designed the building you must replicate for this challenge and who convinced Odin to make this a reality. In his honor we have created the Hall of Stoosh. Anyone who completes the challenge will have their names immortalized in the Hall of Stoosh!

*Do not share any hints, screenshots, or information about the test area if you take on the challenge.*

Happy New Year!

Dec 31, 2024Announcements

Happy New Year! <a:firework:926604248672776222>

As another year draws to a close, I just wanted to take a moment to thank each and every one of you for being part of this incredible community. Our little corner of Valheim has grown into something truly special. It’s more than just a game server; it’s a thriving community of warriors, builders, adventurers, and friends.

From battling the fiercest bosses to constructing the most awe-inspiring bases, we’ve shared laughs, triumphs, and maybe even a few Viking-worthy frustrations (looking at you, Ashlands).

As we step into the new year, I’m excited about what’s to come. Whether it’s creating awesome builds, starting up new events, or just hanging out and swapping stories, I know Jotunheim will continue to grow because of all of you.

Here’s to new adventures, the deep north (hopefully!), and the bonds we’ll keep forging in 2025. May your sails stay steady, your axes sharp, and your mead ever flowing.

Thank you for being part of this amazing community. Cheers to another year of glory in Jotunheim!

Skål,
Odin

GG , you just advanced to level 54!

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the Hall

Dec 25, 2024Announcements

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the Hall
Not a creature was stirring, not warrior nor thrall.
And I in my armor, my shield and my helm
Was drunker than anyone else in the Realm.

I staggered upstairs and fell into bed
While four quarts of mead were ablaze in my head.
Then up from below came the sounds of a brawl
So I grabbed up my axe and ran down to the Hall.

I missed the last step and crashed down in a heap
Thinking, "Why can't those low-lifes downstairs go to sleep!"
When what to my wondering eyes should appear
But two brawny strangers, wielding mallet and spear.

I said to myself, "We'll soon have them beat!"
Then I noticed ten warriors laid out at their feet.
I gave out a yell and leapt into the fray…
I'll always regret my poor choice of that day.

For the one laid his hammer to the side of my nose
And up, up, up to the rafters I rose.
Then came a lone frightened voice from the floor,
"Those are no mortal warriors — that's Odin and Thor!"

Then they looked at each other and they said, "Battle's done.
Now they know who we are, it no longer is fun."
Then Thor raised his hammer, and his elbow he bent,
And with a loud crash, through the ceiling they went.

I crawled through the Hall and flung open the door,
Not really sure that I'd seen them before.
The snow bathed in starlight, the moon like a glede,
I saw them ride off on an eight-legged steed.

And I heard them exclaim, 'ere they flew out of sight,
"TO HELA WITH CHRISTMAS, WE JUST LOVE A GOOD FIGHT!"

The server is now live with the latest update.

What To Do To Get In
– Make sure you turn off the beta and go back to the regular game in steam. ("None" is the correct one, "default_old" is not correct)

What's in the update?
Patch Notes: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/892970/view/6562402086097518856?l=english

As always, if you encounter any weird new issues let me know!

This is a new section I want to start including for more transparency, or maybe I'll start posting this to a new channel whenever I push out patches to the mod. My hope is that this increases transparency and awareness about what is going on in the background all the time!

What has changed in the mod?
– Improved resource regeneration, including fully mined Leviathans removing themselves from the world.
– Fixed (hopefully) occasional skill loss on death in arena and other safe zones (this needs testing, let me know if it still happens and give me your log file if so!)
– You can now hold shift to pick up food and potions placed with the Serving Tray. This is a vanilla feature that is was broken (it plays the wrong animation) but I decided to enable it anyway because it's convenient.
– Event zones have been updated, and new ones created.
– Various minor bugfixes and updates within the mod file, and some fun secrets 😉
– Also some nice error handling code was pushed into the Jotunheim Client!

Oh, and another important thing:
– Players will now see a warning message if they build within a reset zone or too close to a restricted resource.
– More Ashlands locations will respawn!

Nov 7, 2024Announcements

As is tradition, I have uploaded a copy of the previous world saves for anyone who would like them. The Seventh world is our Ashlands seed, saved just before the Bog Witch Update. You can copy these maps to your local folder and play in single player to explore all the incredible builds we made since the beginning of the Ashlands update. Feel free to enjoy this however you like. <a:beedance:777338085495144488>

There's only one rule: You may not claim someone else's work as your own. If you do make a video or screenshot and share it, just give credit to the original creator and Jotunheim. If you're not sure who the original creator is, ask here or give credit to the Jotunheim server. Anyone caught uploading screenshots/videos of another player's work and claiming it as their own will be hit with a permanent ban and their content will be reported/deleted as appropriate.

Please note: The world files are big, as this is a large, fully generated map with many players and countless builds. Many PCs cannot handle it or will run very slowly. Regardless of your PC, it takes a long time to load up at first, so give it a bit of time before quitting on it when you first launch. Remember that this runs on a high-end dedicated server rig. Your machine playing it in a solo world may struggle. Also, the server mods don't typically work in single player/private servers so some of the unique Jotunheim features (small wards, safe zones, etc.) may not function.

Server Points of Interest Cartography Table

Nov 6, 2024Announcements

Server Points of Interest Cartography Table
– At spawn there is now a Server Points of Interest Cartography table.
– On it is all Waystation locations and all Spawn Island POI's.
– It looks like Valheim snuck in an undocumented change, you can only read from one Cartography table at a time now. It will automatically wipe shared map markers from a previous table when you read from a new one.
– So, if you read from from the Server POI table, your previous shared icons will disappear if you've already read from another Cartography table.
– After reading from the Server POI table, you'll need to click on each icon to turn them from gray to white to make them permanent.
– Then you can read from your Cartography table again and your shared icons will return while persevering the Server POI's.

Boss Stone Portals Update

Nov 6, 2024Announcements

Boss Stone Portals Update
– The boss stone portals have been updated to automatically unlock when you defeat the boss.
– This is retroactive, so even if you defeated the boss before this update, it will still unlock for you.
– You cannot unlock them by any other means, and friends cannot unlock them for you.
– Trophies are not relevant at all for boss stone unlocks anymore (but you still need to hang them if you're the first!).
– This effectively undoes the above statement about the need to locate boss stones, but remains true for Haldor, Hildir, and the Bogwitch.
– We may at some point move the boss stones to locations that cannot be traveled to on foot (portal unlock only), so don't count on them staying where they are.

This should bring the experience on Jotunheim a bit closer to the Vanilla game experience.

Unlockable Portals Update

Nov 4, 2024Announcements

Unlockable Portals Update
– The outer waystation portals can no longer be selected as a free unlock.


Clarification on how Boss and NPC portals work now
– Boss portals work the same as the waystation portals.
– After defeating the boss, you then need to locate the boss power shrine.
– Once you do, go through the portal on that end, and you can now freely use the portal at the server portal hub.
– No more key to use it, you do not need to have the trophy on your person any more.
– Same goes for Haldor, Hildir, and Bogwitch NPC locations.

To the brave of Jotunheim:

Nov 4, 2024Announcements

To the brave of Jotunheim:

The server is now live with the Bog Witch update!

Here's what you'll need to do to get in:
– If you changed your version on steam, make sure to have "None" selected. If you haven't played in a long while, be sure to check out this about the core mod changes: https://discord.com/channels/816387080334737436/816454945649590315/1278568418697674815

We look forward to a fresh start with you and discover what the witch has to offer!

# Important!
– This is a new seed, so everything is reset. It's a new map and your character will be brand new. This is a good time to brush up on our rules, as they change over time and if you haven't played in a while they are certainly different. Any new changes will follow below.
– Vidar's Hammer: For those of you who had the hammer on the previous seed, you can get it again, but first you must beat Moder and craft an Artisan Table. It has to be *your* table. A neighbor's, group, or community one will not count. When you are ready just open up a support ticket.
– For travelling you can use our bridge and road-network, our server hub or take ONE Karve at the harbor on spawn island.
– The pricelist is updated. Some prices/factors have changed, please make sure to review it before trading!

New Map Features:
– SHOP ISLAND: Next to spawn you can find server shops that our mods will run regularly. You can not build there and no loot will drop.
– NEWBIE ISLAND: Here you can gather basic resources and then take one of 2 bridges to venture out further. You will also find newbies rest on this island. You can not build on this island, only collect.
– WAYSTATIONS: Our waystations had a rework. Every player can claim 1 hut per map and now also place Ashland portals.
– Please make sure to read the signs inside and only use a small ward to claim a hut!


# New Rules/Changes

Guilds/Groups

We have removed the concept of guilds entirely, including discord channels. We may add a guild system again in future, but the system as we had it till this point does not work anymore with the current server and staff size.

Instead, you can find a few new channels for groups:
– Any group of 10 or more can submit a ⁠support-ticket to request a group forum
– After 30 days of no activity the group forum will be deleted
– We will not reach out before deletion. If you wanna keep the forum, stay active
– No group service requirements or perks
– Shared hire-a-group channel
– Shared group-hall channel for group to group communications

Ashlands Building

– Building permanent structures in the Ashlands is now prohibited.
– Reason: Too much of the area needs to be able to respawn to fully experience the Ashlands, which will wipe out player builds.
– You can build on the spires off the coast, including a ramp down to the shore so you can get Asksvin onto the mainland.
– Temporary taming pits/pens are allowed but tamed/untamed animals will be removed if the player (or group members) are not online during the tame process.
– Groups need to adhere special rules in Ashlands, please review here: https://jotun.games/rules/#18


# Unlockable Portals

– Many portals at the server hub are now locked for each player, but can get unlocked by entering the portal at the other side.
– This means, in order to use for example the portal "North inner" at the hub, you need to first find the waystation by exploring, and use the portal there to get to the server hub.
– This will then unlock the portal at the hub and you can use it from then on.
– This applies to each player and does not apply to groups.

– Every player spawns on the map with one free unlock, so choose whisely which portal you take first!
– When walking through a "Locked" portal the first time, it will give you a popup that offers you to use your free unlock to permanently unlock this portal for you.

*We may apply this mechanic to other portals across the map in future.*

Enjoy!

Oct 29, 2024Announcements

<:Greyling:900997047447081040> The Bog witch update has already dropped and an update like this requires a full reset with a new seed! <:Greyling:900997047447081040>

We and the allfather are working hard to apply neccessary changes to the server and a new map.
As the devs introduced major changes to the code and now released on a weekday, we can not yet tell when we are able to go live with this update, but we will do our best to do it as fast as possible.

Until the server is reset and live with the latest update, to play on Jotunheim you'll need to go into your Valheim beta settings in Steam and change it to "default_old".
– Open Steam
– Right click on Valheim
– Select Properties
– Open the Betas section
– Select default_old to select the previous version.
– Once the server is updated, you can reverse this change. Watch for an announcement from the All-Father.

In addition, we will run at least one more pop up shop before the reset, so anyone who still wants to buy a vidar hammer has the chance to do so, so stay tuned for a post in the event channel about it!

Aug 29, 2024Announcements

To the brave of Jotunheim:

The server is now live with the latest updates!

The Core Mod Has Changed
Well, things have changed a bit here. and I have been working pretty hard on some new stuff relating to how you connect to Jotunheim and all that. Here's a summary:
– The base mod file (JotunheimModLoader.dll) is being replaced with a new one (JotunheimStub.dll) and this should *hopefully* mean you almost never need to update anything again to connect to the server.
– You'll ideally see more informative error messages when you fail to connect.
– You should have a more stable experience when swapping between Jotunheim and non-Jotunheim worlds.
– Any resource files are now downloaded properly (extra icons and such that we use on Jotunheim).
– And this part may not seem relevant to you, but it is now significantly easier for us to update things and therefore we should be able to more quickly deliver new updates, bugfixes, content, features, or whatever else. With these changes, we can start adding a bunch of things we've been previously unable to due to limits we were facing.

But how do I connect now?
1. If you changed your version on steam, make sure you turn off the beta and go back to the regular game in steam. ("None" is the correct one, "default_old" is not correct)
2. If you did any workaround to download and previous versions of Valheim, be sure your Valheim is updated to the latest version.
3. Download and install the JotunheimStub. You can do this via the installer automatically (windows users), or the zip file manually. NOTE: If you use the manual method, please delete your existing "Jotunheim" and "Plugins" folders in the BepInEx folder. You can find the files in #channel.
4. That's it, log back in and enjoy!

What's in the update?
– The biggest thing is that the Valheim developers claim to have solved the ZDO corruption bug. We will be keeping a close eye on this to see if it's true for us.
– Full patch notes can be found here: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/892970/view/4273439871257235347?l=english
– Oh, and something fun is coming soon for our veteran builders… 😉

Jun 6, 2024Announcements

Due to our highly active server population and the increased desire in defeating The Queen to progress to the Ashlands/gain public portals, we are noticing a bottleneck where many players are unable to fight the Queen as the dungeon is completed shortly after reset, and the seeker soldier trophies are hard to find.

To help alleviate this, we have implemented a change that you will want to be aware of: Opening The Queen Boss Door will now *delete* your Sealbreaker. They are now consumable. This should reduce overwhelming repeated farming of the boss, as it will require first gathering up several pieces before you are able to craft a Sealbreaker and open the door. I have also adjusted the respawn rate of the boss dungeon as well.

I hope this change is a welcome addition to help our community thrive!

Ashlands Base Rules

May 31, 2024Announcements

Ashlands Base Rules
The conversations started about the One Base rule clarification evolved beyond just the one base rule clarification and these are the changes we're moving forward with.

Disclaimer: A "base" as mentioned in this post can be defined as a Base, House, Outpost, Hut, Portal Hut, Hovel, Home, etc. A base in Ashlands is considered to be any build-piece built by a player, with the exception of the pocket-portal rule below

_Groups_
– A Group is considered One entity. All for one, and one for all.
If you are in a group, you may have One base in the Ashlands collectively.
– Several groups cannot band together to create a shared network of bases via public portals in the Ashlands.

_Guilds_
– Guilds cannot have a base in the Ashlands.
– Effective immediately, Guilds can no longer use Group Managers.
– If your guild uses one, please make arrangements to split off into sub-groups or go solo asap. You will have 5 days to complete the transition. If more time is needed, submit a support ticket to let us know.
– Guild members can be in groups, but those groups cannot be considered the "guild" itself.
IMPORTANT: Ashland bases of Guild Members cannot be used for Guild Activity in any way, shape, or form.

Reminder:
When the last member of a Group leaves the Group, all of the Group Wards, and Group Portals will automatically be destroyed, and the materials will appear on the ground where the Group Manager was. Please, take this into consideration, and organize a few Personal Portals at the locations you want to put new Group Portals and Wards.

_Pocket Portals_
– A pocket portal is acceptable for temporary* use while in the Ashlands, but must be removed when done.
– *Temporary means it cannot still be standing after you've logged out

Once more players reach the Ashlands we can and will reassess the one base rule to see if it needs to be loosened or tightened.

To the brave of Jotunheim:

May 16, 2024Announcements

To the brave of Jotunheim:

The server is now live with the Ashlands update, prepare to jump into the fire!

Here's what you'll need to do to get in:
1. Delete your current version of JotunheimClient.dll:
a) Right click on Valheim in steam, select Manage, then select Browse local files.
b) Open the folder called BepInEx
c) Open the folder called Jotunheim
d) Delete JotunheimClient.dll
2. If you changed your version on steam, make sure you turn off the beta and go back to the regular game in steam. ("None" is the correct one, "default_old" is not correct)
3. If you did any workaround to download and previous versions of Valheim, be sure your Valheim is updated to the latest version.
4. That's it, log back in and enjoy!

Important!
– Some rules may need to be updated as there is some new content, however we have an initial set of rules we'll share here. To avoid spoilers, we have hidden any content that is new with spoiler tags. Please give us some room to experiment, create, and change any new rules as we get into this seed.

– This is a new seed, so everything is reset. It's a new map and your character will be brand new. This is a good time to brush up on our rules, as they change over time and if you haven't played in a while they are certainly different.

– Vidar's Hammer: For those of you who had the hammer on the previous seed, you can get it again, but first you must beat Moder and craft an Artisan Table. It has to be *your* table. A neighbor's, guild, or community one will not count. When you are ready just open up a support ticket.

– You are free to go to the harbor at spawn and take ONE Karve (taking more than one or destroying them for resources will result in a ban), use the portal to get to the server hub, or explore further by foot to get to other islands.

New Rules
Building in the Ashlands:

Due to the limited space, each player is allowed to build 1 base or outpost in the Ashlands not exceeding the size of one ward or one ||shield generator||. This base must not block or ward any of the Ashlands resource nodes. Ashlands resources will also respawn randomly which will reset any builds nearby in the same way resources respawn in the Mistlands (you have been warned, there will be no compensation for lost materials). A portal hut counts as a base in the Ashlands.

The following resources respawn in the Ashlands (do not build too close to these):
||- Putrid Hole
– Charred Fortress
– Flametal
– Ashland Mob Spawners
– Volture Nest
– Places of Mystery
– Ashlands Boss Area||

Hail, brave Vikings!

May 11, 2024Announcements

<a:hugin:834082007247618139> Hail, brave Vikings! <a:hugin:834082007247618139>

As we eagerly await the Ashlands update, the uncertainty surrounding its release presents a unique challenge for our server's timeline.
But worry not—Ragnarok on Demand is here to ensure your transition from the current map is epic and unforgettable!

How It Works:
If you're ready to face Ragnarok, please open a support ticket and let us know. Include the coordinates of the base or area you want targeted and your preferred time and date. We'll unleash chaos and spectacle right where you stand!

What to Expect:
Ragnarok on Demand can summon a range of chaos:
– Monsters of varying levels and difficulties
– Environmental Changes: Weather shifts, eerie light displays, etc.
– Sound and Visual Effects: Strange noises, ghostly apparitions
– Giant Figures and More: Watch out for colossal Odin sightings, miniature Niks, mischievously laughing Moons or the electrifying appearances of Thor!
– Beware of Falling Logs! Always protect your head.

When:
This event is available from now until the Ashlands update goes live. We will coordinate the exact timing directly in your support ticket. Please note, our admin team is small and currently busy preparing for the new seed, so while we are committed to making this experience available, our availability might be limited.

Seed Info:
The server was backed up at 8:52pm CST. Usually I provide a save of the world just before Ragnarok begins. However, since it is unknown how long this will last, I will be providing two saves this seed for those who wish to continue building. One save file will be this one that I just made, pre-Ragnarok. The other will be at the end just before the Ashlands seed begins, post-Ragnarok. This should let you participate without fear while also being able to build if you still desire to.

We do not have any more info than you do about what time Ashlands update will go live, but we are doing our best to be absolutely prepared.

We are excited to venture into Ragnarok with you—Valhalla awaits!

BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE!

Your voices have been heard and this update includes a big change to portals. If you want to be surprised then just make sure you have Huginn hints on and play the game as normal, and who knows what you might unlock. <:Eeeey:926202952627159090>

If you want the details, I'll include them in a spoiler below:
[ONLY CLICK BELOW IF YOU WANT TO BE SPOILED]

||There are 3 types of portals now:

Portal Types:
1. Private Portals – These portals are yours and yours alone. Nobody else can use them. Works basically as they do now.
2. Group Portals – These portals work as they do now. Shared quota with your group, shared usage with your group.
3. Public Portals – These portals work as the old ones did. They can connect to any other public portal and anyone can use them. They are also expensive to make but have no limit to how many you can make.

Each portal has a separate resource costs and quota. So you can have a mix of all of them. There is no limit to the number of public portals, but they cost a queen drop to make so it's not cheap.

Limits:
– Private Portals: 10 per player
– Group Portals: Currently set to 0 base and +4 per player in the group
– Public Portals: No limit.

Resource Costs:
– Private Portals: Default portal materials
– Group Portals: 20x Fine Wood, 10x Yellow Mushrooms, 1x Thunderstone
– Public Portals: 1x Queen Drop

Map
Portals also now have icons on the map that you can toggle on or off in the bottom right of your map. Additionally, the icons vary based on which portal type it is, and will also display the portal tag of the portal. This should make it easy to track down and connect to any portal!||

Please give a huge shoutout to who did the vast majority of the work for the portal update!

Enjoy and happy portaling! <a:GlowingPortal:826075075056500767>

Feb 16, 2024Announcements

Seems like a tough few weeks for the Valheim devs. Players across all servers are reporting an inability to connect, so although our server is up and running just fine, nobody is able to connect to it at this time.

Since it just happened, there's no official messaging on it and no clear cause, but it's clear that it is affecting 100% of the servers out there, so there's no consistent issue amongst hosts.

Jan 29, 2024Announcements

It appears the official Valheim discord server has been hacked. Please note that Jotunheim has not been directly affected by it, but please be super careful.

The hackers have claimed the discord invite link of discord.gg/valheim and are directing players to join that server which is the "new" Valheim discord server.

There is no new Valheim Discord Server. Please do not join that server, and do not download anything claiming to be a "new game beta" that the Valheim devs released. This is a scam and you will get infected if you do. Please use extra caution today and use other mechanisms (like Twitter or Steam) to get your news from the Valheim devs. Assume the current official discord cannot be trusted either.

Dec 14, 2023Announcements

Good news! The server is now live with the latest update.

Here's what you'll need to do to get in:

1. Delete your current version of JotunheimClient.dll:
a) Right click on Valheim in steam, select Manage, then select Browse local files.
b) Open the folder called BepInEx
c) Open the folder called Jotunheim
d) Delete JotunheimClient.dll
2. If you changed your version on steam, make sure you turn off the beta and go back to the regular game in steam. ("None" is the correct one, "default_old" is not correct)
3. If you did the workaround to play today by downloading a previous version of Valheim, make sure your Valheim is now updated to the latest version.
4. That's it, log back in and enjoy!

As always, if you encounter any weird new issues let me know!

Dec 14, 2023Announcements

Overnight, Jotunheim experienced its first major griefing event in years. Normally we have many protections in place, but unfortunately this one slipped through. Fortunately, we keep many backups, so nothing is truly lost. Many player built structures were destroyed, so many that we need to do a roll back of the server as we cannot reliably track down every single instance and fix every single base manually. We will be rolling back to Thursday, December 14, 2023 12:11 AM. Anything gathered and anything built after that time will need to be redone and recollected. We apologize for this inconvenience, but the amount of damage that was done makes this the best option to get everyone their stuff back as soon as possible. The server is current live with that rollback.

If this affects you in a major way, please open a support ticket and we will see what we can do to help. Thank you as always for your patience and understanding. This incredible community is resilient and it's thanks to all of you that we haven't had any major incidents like this in so long, and we were able to detect and react to it quickly.


MORE NEWS: An update released early this morning without notice, and Iron Gate did not update the default_old branch. However, there is a method to manually roll-back your version to the correct one.

– Open Windows Run, by pressing Windows Key + R
– Once the Run window opens, type steam://open/console
– In the steam console window type download_depot 892970 892972 4508602214072322749
– This will download the previous versions files into a new location.
– Then just copy those files into your Valheim folder and overwrite anything it asks.

– It may take a few minutes for the download to complete, please wait patiently with the steam console open.
– The console will show you where it has saved the files once the download has finished.

As this is a temporary solution, if you run into trouble just post in the #channel chat and see if anyone can help you. We won't be providing official technical support for this workaround.


We are actively working on updating the server for the newest patch, and will post here as soon as it's updated! Stay tuned, some new exciting stuff is coming!
