Gameplay Update · September 2026
1.1

Warband

Everyone online now plays in one group, monsters hit your buildings much harder, the server counts down before its daily restart and saves everyone first, and levelling up in the MMO system gets a proper LEVEL UP. Plus BuildIt with a huge set of new building pieces, a Sets tab at the crafting station and HD ground textures in the HD pack.

General

New Mods

Each mod has its own information page under Mods in the launcher.

Crafting Sets1.0.0New

A Sets tab at the workbench and the forge, with every armor set you can make, in a clear order.

  • Hover the Craft tab to open the category menu and pick Sets.
  • One set after the other, from the early sets to the strongest. Each set has a heading with its name, how many pieces it takes and its set bonus, then helmet, chest, legs and cape.
  • Only armor that belongs to a set is shown. Single pieces stay in their usual categories.
BuildIt1.6.4New

A huge set of new building pieces by RockerKitten: glass, darker wood, an outhouse, furniture, snappable fences and more.

  • The pieces are built with their own Improved Hammer: 4 Wood and 2 Stone, crafted without a station.
  • Its own build menu with five tabs: Structure, Furniture, Roofs, Outdoors and Greenhouse.
  • Hold Ctrl or Alt while scrolling to fine-tune the placement.

Changed Mods

Friends1.1.0

The server party: everyone who logs in joins one group with the players online.

  • The first player on the server is on their own. The group is formed as soon as a second player arrives, and everyone after that joins it.
  • A group holds 10 players. When more are online, a second group is formed for the rest.
  • /leave in chat takes you out until your next login. So does being removed from the group.
  • The MMO friend list shows whether a friend is in a group, for example in a group (3/10). A green group button joins that group directly.
Combat1.2.0
  • Bleeding from several players no longer replaces each other. Each player's bleed runs beside the others with its own icon, so the damage adds up.
  • Every player's slow shows its own icon. The slow itself is still at most 40%.
  • Your own effects have a gold rim among the icons.
  • A stunned monster still cannot be stunned again for 6 s by anyone, so a group cannot keep it stunned.
Utility1.5.0
  • Monster damage to buildings 2.5×. Players and tamed animals are unaffected.
  • Character saved every 10 minutes at a calm moment.
  • Countdown before the daily restart: small messages in the corner at first, in the middle of the screen for the last five minutes, and a save of the world and every character two minutes before.
  • LEVEL UP on screen when you gain a level in the MMO system, with your new level and the attribute points you have to spend.
  • With Seasonality, the season countdown could stand at 0 for a long while after players had slept. The season now changes on time.
Duels1.0.2
  • Duels now work between members of the same group. Group members still cannot hurt each other outside a duel.
Settlements1.3.1
  • A member of another player's village can found their own by placing a settlement stone: the game asks whether to leave the old village first. No need to walk back to its stone.
Audio2.0.0
  • Instead of catching mod sounds one by one, a compressor and a limiter now sit on everything you hear, like on a studio's master channel.
  • As long as nothing is louder than the game's own loud sounds, it does nothing. A sound that is louder, such as an XP orb, a mod weapon or a mod monster's attack, is pulled down at once, however short it is.
Armory1.2.1
  • The Status page on sveaserver.se shows whether the server is up, who is online and how long until the daily restart.

Launcher

SveaLauncher2.4.1
  • The status shows Downloading while files come down and Installing while they are unpacked.
  • Download speed and time left, the way Steam shows them, for example 8.4 MB/s · 3 min left.
  • Keybinds: the mouse's middle and side buttons (Mouse 4, Mouse 5) can be bound to quick slots.
  • The native Linux version of the game is recognized.
HD Texture PackNew
  • HD ground textures are now part of the HD pack, in both Medium and Higher.
  • If you already have the HD pack, only the ground is downloaded, about 370 MB, the next time you press Play. The rest of the pack is not downloaded again.
  • Switching between Medium and Higher keeps the ground. Turning the HD pack off removes both.

Other Mods

BetterUISetting
  • BetterUI's own character level, which added up all your skills and now and then showed LEVEL UP · You are now Lv., is switched off. The MMO system's level and its new LEVEL UP take its place.
Removed
  • No Unlock Spam is removed from the pack.
