BrennivinProtection

I use AI to review code and assist with optimization and integrity; I manually test and review every mod, and all decisions and code remain my own.

Current release: 1.0.8, audited against the governed current Valheim CLIENT assets.

Adds Brennivín, a cyan-blue fermentable protection flask for Valheim.

• Craft Mead base: Brennivín at the Mead Ketill.
• Ferment the base to produce one Brennivín flask.
• Drink one flask to activate protection for the next death; the flask is consumed immediately.
• Protection is restored after logout/login from its persisted consumed-protection marker.
• A second flask is not consumed while protection is already active, and a flask is not consumed when the world already uses DeathKeepInventory.
• A protected death preserves the player's vanilla inventory/equipment instead of transferring it to a tombstone.
• EquipmentSheet dedicated slots remain in EquipmentSheet and its temporary protection snapshot is cleared when Brennivín protection is spent.
• Protection requires both the Brennivín status effect and the consumed-protection marker.
• Brennivín does not teleport the player to a bed.
• Base recipe uses Cloudberries, Honey, Thistle, Dandelion, and Bone Fragments.
• Uses Jotunn network compatibility and server-controlled gameplay config.

Changelog

1.0.8

• Audited BrennivinProtection against the governed current Valheim CLIENT assembly (59F53FB55D99D22A33E8ED094EEC8D21E9F133543BCE92BC3D80DCE44033ADB1) and current Jotunn 2.30.0 assets.
• Verified the current Player.CreateTombStone(), Player.Load(ZPackage), Player.ConsumeItem(Inventory, ItemData, bool), inventory, custom-data, status-effect, teleport, and retained wake-up contracts used by the source.
• Restores active Brennivín protection after character load when the persisted consumed-protection marker is present; current Valheim persists Player.m_customData but not live SEMan status effects.
• Prevents consuming another Brennivín while already protected and prevents wasting one when DeathKeepInventory already applies.
• Clears EquipmentSheet's protection snapshot when Brennivín protection is spent, preventing a stale snapshot from affecting a later death.
• Repairs the maintained build to use the governed shared CLIENT assets instead of the retired loose build-root assembly while retaining local-install compatibility.
• Repairs package publication to stage and validate locally, verify the packaged DLL hash/version, then publish verified output under the project-owned releases\1.0.8 authority.
• Synchronizes project, plugin, manifest, README, changelog, build, install-helper, and package version identity to 1.0.8.

1.0.7

• Removes the obsolete sheet-to-bag death compatibility route; protected death leaves EquipmentSheet ownership untouched.
• Keeps EquipmentSheet protection caching as the only cross-mod handoff before death.

1.0.6

• Requires a persistent consumed-protection marker written only when Brennivín is actually consumed.
• Prevents a stale or restored status effect from preserving an unconsumed flask and inventory.
• Clears the consumed marker when protection prevents death, so the next death is normal unless another flask is consumed.

1.0.5

• Drinking Brennivín now activates the persistent “The gods are protecting you” status effect.
• Protection persists through logout/login and is consumed only when it prevents death.
• Preserves vanilla bag items and EquipmentSheet gear without bed teleportation.
• Removed Brennivín’s automatic bed-teleport behavior.

1.0.4

• Adds a direct EquipmentSheet compatibility hook so Brennivín can consume a flask from dedicated sheet storage and skip tombstone creation without moving equipped gear into the vanilla bag.
• Preserves EquipmentSheet gear and inventory when Brennivín death protection activates, including when the vanilla bag is full.

1.0.3

• Fixes a critical EquipmentSheet interaction: when Brennivín death protection activates, sheet gear and food remain in their persistent slots instead of being moved into the vanilla bag before tombstone creation is skipped.
• Prevents the death-protection path from leaving EquipmentSheet items stranded, duplicated, or vulnerable to full-bag loss.

1.0.2

• Added the initial EquipmentSheet death-protection compatibility correction.

1.0.0

• Rebuilt against the current Valheim 1.0 assemblies.
• Preserves Brennivín death protection, inventory/equipment handling, bed teleport, recipe, and Jotunn compatibility behavior.
• Replaced the package icon with a custom-made, non-AI-generated icon.

0.1.3

• Replaced the temporary LightMyFire placeholder package icon with a Brennivín-specific cyan protection flask icon.

0.1.2

• Fixed Brennivín not registering when vanilla mead-base prefabs are material items instead of drinkable consumables.
• Marked Mead base: Brennivín as a material-style fermentable base item.

0.1.1

• Changed crafting flow so the Mead Ketill creates Mead base: Brennivín.
• Added Fermenter conversion from the base to one Brennivín flask.
• Updated item description text.
• Added a best-effort wake-up animation pulse after drinking teleport completes.

0.1.0

• Initial Brennivín item.
• Added carried death protection that still lets the player die, consumes one flask, and skips tombstone item transfer.
• Added drink action that teleports to the player's claimed bed.
• Added Mead Ketill recipe.
• Added reflective Equipment Sheet death-flow compatibility.

1.0.2

• Prevents the EquipmentSheet compatibility hook from moving sheet items into the bag before Brennivín suppresses tombstone creation, preventing stranded or duplicated sheet gear.
