2.1.9 - Umbrella Water Resistance & Weather Fixes

• Water Resistance & Umbrella Mechanic:
  • Reworked water resistance so standing in the rain keeps you dry and prevents the Wet effect from reappearing or resetting.
  • Swimming or wading in deep water will still make you wet.
  • When leaving the water into the rain, your existing Wet timer will now continue to count down naturally rather than being reset by the rain.
• Cold Resistance & Weather Mod Compatibility:

• Weather & Fireplace Warmth:
  • Restored natural game behavior around campfires and sheltered buildings in rainy conditions.

• Dedicated Server Hardening & Stability:
  • Added startup safeguards to ensure client-only features (such as menus, quick item transfers, and local interactions) are completely skipped on dedicated servers.
• Dependency Updates:
  • Updated shared libraries and Jotunn dependencies to their latest stable releases.

2.1.7 - Storage & Inventory Mod Compatibility

• Storage & Chest Mod Compatibility:
  • Fixed an issue where opening a backpack while using certain storage mods (such as MidgardPlus) could cause an error and stop the container from working properly.

  • Improved crafting from backpacks to prevent errors when rapidly crafting items or consuming materials from nearly empty item stacks.

2.1.2 - Player Container Isolation & Ecosystem Compatibility

• Player Entity Container Isolation:
  • Removed the direct Container component from the root Player character object, preventing external container mods and vanilla systems from misidentifying the player as a world chest or container piece.
  • Migrated all backpack container operations to a dedicated, isolated child proxy GameObject (AB_BackpackProxy) that exists exclusively to back the backpack UI window.
• Container Proxy Virtualization & Stability Fixes:
  • Added safeguards to intercept container network routines on the local proxy, resolving an issue where opening, updating, or closing the backpack could cause errors (NullReferenceException in Container.SetInUse).
  • Ensured container actions like Take All and Stack All interact smoothly with the backpack proxy and local inventory.
  • Added lifecycle management to guarantee clean destruction and cleanup of the proxy upon unequipping gear, character death, or respawning.

2.1.1 - Crafting & Container Mod Compatibility

• Compatibility with ValheimPlus, ItemDrawers & Container Mods:
  • Fixed an issue where enabling Enable Craft From Backpack prevented building hammer pieces and crafting recipes from detecting materials in nearby chests.
  • Converted crafting requirement checks to cooperative hooks so vanilla game systems and other crafting/container mods evaluate uninterrupted.
• Auto Store to Backpack & Crafting Item Fixes:
  • Resolved an issue where empty or mod-manipulated inventory slots could cause an error when crafting or building (NullReferenceException in ConsumeCraftingItem).
  • Resolved an issue where uninitialized or modded items could cause an error during automatic storage (NullReferenceException in StoreToBackpack.TryStoreItem).

• New Feature: Craft From Backpack:
  • When enabled, crafting at crafting stations and building placeables with the hammer considers materials in both the Player inventory and the currently equipped backpack.

  • When player inventory is full, newly crafted items can optionally be placed directly into the equipped backpack if space is available.
  • Added server-synced settings: Enable Craft From Backpack and Enable Craft Output To Backpack under Server Config.

  • If Player inventory is full, items automatically continue storing into the equipped backpack without showing "Inventory Full" (configurable overflow).
  • Full compatibility with storage and container mods (AzuAutoStore, CraftFromContainers, AzuCraftyBoxes) and safeguards to prevent accidental storing when manually moving items in open backpack containers.
  • Added server-synced settings: Enable Auto Store to Backpack and Enable Inventory Overflow To Backpack under Server Config.

  • Fixed an issue where the "Frost Resistance" buff icon could display in the status bar while the player still suffered from the Freezing debuff in Mountain biomes.
• Fix for "Require Only One Resource" Configuration:
  • Fixed an issue where enabling Require only one resource in the configuration caused backpack upgrade recipes to falsely indicate they were ready to craft when missing required materials.
• Bugs Fixed from Submitted Error Reports:
  • Fixed an issue where backpacks initialized early during startup could cause an error when game localization was not yet loaded.
  • Fixed a configuration issue where mod settings could trigger a missing field error when interacting with third-party configuration managers.
