Revolutionary Valheim Update Unveils Game-Changing Minecraft-inspired Feature
A game-changing Valheim update introduces Iron Gate Studios' equivalent to one of Minecraft's finest features, alongside exciting enhancements, on the test server
The upcoming Valheim update is bringing a highly anticipated feature from Minecraft to the Viking survival game: creative mode. Since its release in early access on PC in 2021 and its subsequent availability on Xbox and Game Pass in 2023, Valheim has been consistently updated with fresh content, bug fixes, and more. Iron Gate Studios, the developer of Valheim, is committed to enhancing the game and expanding its player base. By incorporating creative mode, Valheim aims to follow in the footsteps of Minecraft and attract a wider community of PC and Xbox players.
The Valheim public test server recently received a major update, introducing Hammer mode as the game's equivalent of Minecraft's creative mode. This mode focuses on building and offers various modifiers to enhance the gameplay. Players can now construct anything they desire without the need for resources, and monsters will only attack if provoked. Additionally, the forest will no longer launch raids on player bases. Previously, Valheim players had to use console commands to activate modifiers like God mode and free-flying, but with this update, such commands may no longer be necessary. In addition to Hammer mode, a casual mode has been added to the test server, significantly reducing the game's difficulty. For more experienced Valheim players, an immersive mode has been introduced, which removes the map and portals. Other difficulty options have also been adjusted to cater to different player preferences.
Valheim, currently in early access for PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S, has the potential to achieve the same level of popularity and creative achievements as Minecraft and No Man's Sky. The game's Hammer mode allows players to showcase their imagination and create extraordinary structures. As Iron Gate Studios diligently works on patching and transitioning Valheim to a full release, players can anticipate more enticing updates that will attract newcomers to give it a try.
