Valheim left Early Access and reached version 1.0 on September 9, 2026. The full release added the Deep North, achievements, new progression systems, additional skills, upgradeable inventory space, new creatures, food, equipment, and many other changes.
Guides
The Workbench is one of the most important crafting stations in Valheim. It lets you craft and repair early equipment, build most wooden structures, and upgrade many tools, weapons, and armor pieces.
Guides
Valheim does not let you craft a pickaxe immediately after creating a new character. Your first mining tool is tied to the game's first boss, Eikthyr. Once you defeat him, you receive the material required for the Antler Pickaxe and can begin mining Copper and Tin in the Black Forest.
Guides
Food is one of the most important progression systems in Valheim. You do not starve if you stop eating, but food determines your maximum Health, Stamina, and, from the Mistlands onward, Eitr. A good food setup changes how safely you can explore, fight, block, sprint, dodge, build, farm, and use magic.
Guides
Valheim does not have a separate Creative Mode button like Minecraft, but in the current 1.0 version there are two practical ways to build freely without gathering resources: use the built-in World Modifiers, or enable Developer Commands and Debug Mode.
