Changelog

1.0.3 - 2026-09-30

Fixed

• Fixed 1-star and 2-star Bear cubs spawning visually at adult/star-scaled size immediately after birth.
• Starred Bear cubs now remain at the intended cub scale while growing, then switch to the correct adult star size when growth completes.
• This also makes it visually clear that a starred Bear is still a cub and cannot use the Bear Saddle until it has actually grown into an adult.

Notes

• Gameplay timings remain unchanged: 25 minute taming and 33 minute 20 second cub growth.

1.0.2

• Changed the Thunderstore package image/icon only.
• No gameplay, balance, configuration, or code changes.

1.0.1

Fixed

• Fixed periodic micro-stutters caused by repeated global scans of loaded MonsterAI and Tameable objects.
• Fixed the Bear Saddle visual so it is shown correctly after equipping and restored after reloading a world.
• Fixed the rider anchor so the player follows the saddle instead of moving excessively from side to side during sprinting.
• Refined Bear Saddle and rider positioning for a more natural riding pose.

Notes

• Bear riding still uses an adapted version of Valheim's vanilla Lox saddle/riding system. Minor visual movement or clipping can still occur because Bjorn was not originally designed as a mount.
• Gameplay timings remain unchanged: 25 minute taming and 33 minute 20 second cub growth.

1.0.0

• Initial Bear Taming release under the Bear_Taming package name.
• Added Bear taming, breeding, persistent cubs, star support, dedicated Bear Saddle, riding and mounted attacks.
