Sources and attribution

This site is an unofficial fan-made reference. Valheim is developed by Iron Gate AB and published by Coffee Stain Publishing. Game names, item names and trademarks belong to their respective owners, and nothing here is endorsed by or affiliated with them.

Where the numbers come from

All accepted data comes from the Valheim client itself: the item and creature rosters, localized names, crafting recipes, creature drops and spawn lists, item and creature statistics, consumed status effects, boss attacks, and boss statistics. The current export is from Valheim 1.0.21, Steam build 26249040.

The extractor reads ordinary, unencrypted SoftRef bundles and the game's own assembly metadata from an owned installation; it neither launches nor modifies the client. Recipe and drop rows are joined through the exact prefab pointers stored by the game rather than by matching display names.

The export is pinned by its SHA-256 checksum and Steam build. That identity, the public release version and the licence audit are recorded in games/valheim/sources.yml. Every imported entity page states the exact client build its fields were verified against.

What is not from a source

Biome entries and any hand-managed fields have not been extracted from the client. Progression tiers and singular creature “home biome” classifications were removed with the retired community lanes because the current client does not serialize equivalent facts. The client does publish multi-biome central world spawn lists, so those are retained without guessing a primary biome. Some boss pages retain other fields without complete pinned-source coverage; those pages show a provenance warning rather than presenting an unchecked number as a fact.

All descriptive writing on this site is written for this site. The in-game item descriptions written by Iron Gate are not reproduced here, and neither is prose from any wiki.

Corrections

If a number here disagrees with the game, the game is right and this site is wrong. The extracted data lives in version control, so a correction is a visible change with a reason attached to it.
