⚠️ Important Notice

Following the release of Valheim 1.0, the mod structure has been reorganized. Some items and build pieces have been redistributed between mods, while all internal names have been changed.

🔄 New Mod Structure

Artisan Mastery now serves as the main dependency for other mods in the Distant Origins collection, bringing together content focused on crafting, building, professions, and other non-combat aspects of the game.

As part of this restructuring:

• Shared Materials — general crafting materials from other mods have been brought together in Artisan Mastery, creating a shared resource pool for the entire collection. Combat-focused mods now keep only materials specific to their own content. This allows a wider variety of custom materials to be used when crafting equipment across Distant Origins mods.

• Building Content — Decor and Utility build pieces from other mods have been moved to Artisan Mastery. All building-related content is now collected in one place.

• Peaceful Professions — armor, tools, and other content related to peaceful professions have been moved to Artisan Mastery.

• Shipbuilding — the Galleon and its related content have been moved to Artisan Mastery as part of the shipbuilding profession, including the Naval Workbench, ship upgrades, and shipwrecks.

⚙️ Content Modules

To make the core role more flexible, a new Content Modules section has been added to the configuration.

Entire content categories can now be disabled independently:

• Ships — ships, dedicated crafting stations, upgrades, equipment and supplies
• Shipwrecks — drifting shipwrecks and cargo crates found across the ocean
• Gear — armor sets, tools, equipment and dedicated crafting stations
• Utility Pieces — functional build pieces designed for practical use
• Decor Pieces — furniture, displays, storage and other decorative build pieces

This allows you to keep only the parts of Artisan Mastery you want, or disable all optional content and use the mod purely as a Distant Origins core. In this case, only the Artisan Workshop and core crafting resources used by other Distant Origins mods will remain available.

Note: Changes to content modules require a game restart.
