• Replaced prefab-dependent UI outlines with a custom four-sided rectangular glow frame.
• Added a smooth pulsating brightness cycle to every qualifying inventory, container, and hotbar slot.
• Uses layered inner, middle, and outer borders for a soft box-shaped glow without tinting item artwork.

1.3.5

• Moved UI quality glows from the item artwork silhouette to the complete inventory, container, and hotbar slot frame.
• Item artwork is no longer outlined by the quality glow.

1.3.4

• Applied the new level-30 color consistently to world effects and item-icon outlines.

1.3.0

• Added quality-tier glow outlines to item artwork in inventory, container, and hotbar slots.
• Icon glows follow the blue, green, purple, gold, red, and animated level-30 rainbow tiers.
• The glow follows the icon's transparent silhouette instead of coloring the square slot background.

1.2.2

• Fixed level-30 rainbow weapon glows appearing frozen at one color to other players.
• Synchronizes full equipped hand and back-slot quality values so every observing client starts the animated tier.

1.2.1

• Added a smoothly animated rainbow glow tier for item quality 30 and higher.
• Kept quality 25-29 red and preserved each eligible weapon's native particle configuration.
• Shields and fist equipment remain free of Potential Draught particle effects.

1.2.0

• Added the server-authorized maximumitemquality <quality> command.
• Made the normal Forge of Potential quality cap persistent and server-configurable.
• Synchronizes live cap changes to connected clients for automatic creature-scaling updates.

1.1.67

• Moved admin-potion permission requests and replies to Jotunn's registered client/server RPC channel.
• Registers the permission channel during plugin startup instead of waiting for vanilla prefabs.
• Added routed-server diagnostics for permission requests.

1.1.66

• Fixed allowadminpotion and disableadminpotion acknowledgements getting stuck on crossplay connections.
• Server responses and permission updates are now broadcast to the intended character ID instead of relying on transport peer routing.
• Added player-ID fallback resolution for crossplay administrator and permission checks.

1.1.65

• Fixed permission requests on PlayFab/crossplay servers by broadcasting requests for server-only handling instead of assuming a ZNet peer ID is the routed server ID.
• Resolves and validates the requester's underlying Steam/console platform identity when PlayFab is the transport.
• Uses the routed RPC system's actual server peer ID when validating server responses.
• Permission commands now print an immediate request acknowledgement before the server response.

1.1.64

• Fixed multiplayer autocomplete by reading Valheim's authoritative network player list, matching the list shown in the in-game Players panel.
• Fixed remote permission grants by resolving the selected player's server peer through its network character ID.
• Permissions now persist by stable Steam/PlayFab network identity instead of scene-local character objects.
• Relaxed the permission-sync request's unreliable peer/player-ID equality check while keeping the server as the sole permission authority.

1.1.63

• Added connected-player autocomplete to allowadminpotion and disableadminpotion.
• Fixed manual player-name lookup by resolving live Player objects instead of unreliable peer-name metadata.
• Permission changes now use the resolved persistent player ID and include a clear error if the player's network peer is not ready.

1.1.61

• Fixed purgeadminpotions being incorrectly blocked by Valheim's local admin check.
• Authorization remains enforced by the server for hosts and configured administrators.

1.1.60

• Removed Potential Draught particle effects from shields and fist equipment.
• Weapons with their own native particles continue to use those effects.

1.1.59

• Added the admin-only purgeadminpotions command, which removes every admin potion from all other currently connected players while preserving the command user's inventory.
• Purge requests are validated by the server before connected clients modify their local inventories.

1.1.58

• Compensates for the shield attachment visual's inherited non-uniform scale so compact fallback particles retain their original world-space proportions instead of stretching into a long beam.

1.1.57

• Removed ShieldGold and staff particles as shield donors because their item attachments contain large directional emitters.
• Shields now use the compact Forge fist particle group, centered and uniformly scaled on the shield.

1.1.56

• Removed StaffShield as a shield particle donor because its attachment includes a large forward casting beam.
• Shields now prefer ShieldGold's shield-shaped particles, followed by the stationary orb particles from StaffFrostOrbs or StaffFireball.

1.1.55

• Replaced the Frostner-only fallback strategy with specialized vanilla donors.
• Shields prefer the compact radial particles from StaffShield, then StaffFrostOrbs or StaffFireball if needed.
• Fist equipment prefers the hand-shaped particles from FistGold_FrostFire, FistGold_BloodLightning, or FistGold.
• Frostner remains only the final fallback when no specialized donor is available.

1.1.54

• Removed the transformed-bounds face offsets that could place shield fallback particles far away from the item.
• Uses 80% of Frostner's native quality intensity instead of an absolute 0.8 intensity, preserving vanilla behavior with a modest reduction.

1.1.53

• Places shield fallback particles just outside both shield faces so the shield mesh cannot occlude the centered Frostner effect.
• Fist equipment continues to use one centered fallback particle group.

1.1.52

• Fixed the Frostner fallback appearing far beside shields by including each particle Shape module's internal position when calculating the emission-group center.

1.1.51

• Recenters Frostner's complete vanilla fallback particle group on shields and fist equipment instead of retaining the mace-head offset.
• Uniformly compacts the fallback group to 75% so shields do not display a long mace-shaped trace; internal particle settings remain vanilla.

1.1.50

• Detects shields and fist equipment by item type and forces the Frostner particle fallback even when their visuals contain unrelated decorative particle components.

1.1.49

• Bows, swords, and other items with native particle systems now retain and use their own complete vanilla effects.
• Frostner's vanilla particle configuration is now used only as a fallback for items without native particles, including shields and fist equipment.
• Wearable armor remains effect-free.

1.1.48

• Restored Frostner's complete vanilla particle configuration without custom size, shape, movement, lifetime, density, or donor filtering.
• Uses a fixed 0.8 intensity at every eligible quality, slightly below the vanilla baseline; quality controls only the tier color.

1.1.47

• Selects Frostner's fog donor using particle, material, and shader names, prioritizing smoke, fog, mist, and cloud layers.
• Explicitly rejects sparkle, glow, light, mote, flare, and star layers that caused scattered glowing dots.

1.1.46

• Isolates Frostner's strongest soft-fog particle layer and disables its spark and mote layers.
• Removes the scattered glowing dots while retaining visible fog coverage around the item outline.

1.1.45

• Restored fog coverage across the item's bounds using small fixed-size particles emitted only on the ellipsoid shell.
• Increased localized density so curved bows receive visible coverage without restoring particle drift.

1.1.44

• Replaced donor-relative fog sizing with a small fixed world-space particle size.
• Tightened the emission volume further so fog remains concentrated near the item instead of filling its full rectangular bounds.

1.1.43

• Reduced the fog emission volume and individual sprite radius so particles remain closer to the item model, especially on curved bows.

1.1.42

• Increased the confined fog's opacity, density, and particle size for clear visibility while retaining zero drift and short lifetime.

1.1.41

• Slightly increased fixed fog opacity while preserving the confined particle size, density, and movement settings.

1.1.40

• Removed inherited particle velocity, forces, gravity, noise, and trails that allowed fog to spread away from the item.
• Shortened fog lifetime so the effect remains confined to the weapon or shield bounds.

1.1.39

• Made each fixed fog sprite four times smaller and further reduced emission overlap and opacity so the effect hugs slim items such as bows.

1.1.38

• Reduced fixed fog particle size, emission density, and opacity so the effect stays close to the item instead of forming a solid cloud.

1.1.37

• Replaced Frostner's inherited intensity-dependent particle fade with a fixed visible fog fade.
• Forces continuous fog emission so bows and other slim weapons remain clearly visible at normal upgrade levels.

1.1.36

• Removed upgrade quality from fog-intensity scaling; every eligible item now uses the same particle size and density at every level.
• Upgrade quality now controls only the tier color, with a fixed 40% fog opacity that keeps quality-25 red clearly visible.

1.1.35

• Added the shared quality-fog pass to item-stand visuals.
• Upgraded shields displayed on item stands now receive the same tier-colored fog as displayed weapons.

1.1.34

• Fixed armor stands ignoring the saved upgrade quality when constructing displayed item visuals.
• Upgraded weapons and shields displayed on armor stands now receive their quality-tier fog effect; wearable armor remains effect-free.

1.1.33

• Added a guaranteed fist-specific path that detects Hands or Unarmed weapon prefabs and anchors compact fog directly to both hand bones.
• Hand fog is automatically removed when the fist weapon is unequipped or below quality 5.

1.1.32

• Applies quality fog to Valheim's final left- and right-hand visual instances after all special equipment attachment processing.
• This covers dual fist and claw weapons that bypass the ordinary attachment hooks, with duplicate-effect protection.

1.1.31

• Fixed fist and claw weapons that use Valheim's armor-style visual attachment method being incorrectly suppressed as armor.
• The armor attachment hook now suppresses effects only for prefabs whose item type is genuinely armor.

1.1.30

• Removed all particle-system mesh sampling because Valheim equipment meshes are read-only at runtime.
• Replaced it with a rounded, non-uniform fog volume derived from the complete item bounds: flattened for shields, elongated for weapons, and compact for fists.

1.1.29

• Replaced the failed combined-mesh approach, which Valheim rejected for read-only equipment meshes.
• Adds a separately balanced fog emitter to every original item renderer so multipart tower shields receive coverage across all panels.

1.1.28

• Combines every rendered section of an equipped item into one fog-emission mesh, preventing tower shields from sampling only their central boss.
• Enforces continuous particle emission so the surface fog cannot collapse into one isolated circular puff.

1.1.27

• Reduced each mesh-emitted fog billboard to 5% of the donor size to remove the visible circular sprite on tower shields.
• Increased continuous and burst particle density fourfold so the smaller particles still form a visible surface fog.

1.1.26

• Reduced individual fog particle size to 20% so shield particles no longer overlap into a circular glow.
• Added ItemType.Hands to the weapon-effect path so fist weapons receive the quality fog.

1.1.25

• Replaced square box-shaped fog emission with emission from the equipped item's actual mesh surface.
• Items without a compatible mesh renderer now use a rounded spherical fallback.

1.1.24

• Restored all layers of Valheim's authentic UpgraderGlow instead of selecting the sparse spark subsystem.
• Preserved Valheim's scaler-generated dense fog and tier color while relocating every emitter layer into the item's local bounds.

1.1.23

• Restored the fog particle alpha after removing the donor's scaler by applying a custom soft fade gradient.
• Disabled the donor's cloned lights, which caused the unintended bright white item illumination.

1.1.22

• Replaced the donor's two offset particle emitters with one model-bound fog emitter.
• Fog now emits throughout the equipped item's local model bounds instead of forming detached blobs.

1.1.21

• Centered the reused quality fog on each receiving weapon or shield.
• Automatically scales the fog volume to the rendered item size, preventing the Atgeir-derived effect from forming oversized clouds.

1.1.20

• Delayed Frostner fog discovery until equipment rendering, after Valheim has initialized its visual assets.
• Added direct cloning and tinting of Frostner's particle systems when no quality scaler component is present.

1.1.19

• Fixed shields and fist weapons being treated as already fog-enabled when their built-in scaler only produced flat surface emission.
• All non-armor equipment now uses the same Frostner fog container at 40% intensity for consistent visuals.

1.1.18

• Changed the missing-effect fallback to use Frostner's complete, coupled fog-effect container.
• Shields and fist weapons now receive Frostner-style fog while the donor weapon mesh and collision remain disabled.

1.1.17

• Fixed shields and fist weapons receiving flat material emission instead of the foggy native-style effect.
• The fallback now safely extracts and attaches the native particle branches without copying source weapon geometry.

1.1.16

• Restored the foggy native-style quality effect for all weapons, including fist weapons, and all shields.
• Set the foggy effect to 40% intensity while preserving the level-tier colors.
• Kept armor, helmets, capes, and utility items free of quality visual effects.

1.1.15

• Removed all glow and electrical effects from armor, helmets, capes, and utility equipment.
• Reduced weapon and shield level-glow intensity to 25% of its original value.

1.1.14

• Rolled the required Jotunn dependency back from 2.30.1 to 2.30.0 due to instability in the newer release.

1.1.13

• Updated the required Jotunn dependency from 2.30.0 to 2.30.1.

1.1.12

• Reduced weapon and shield level-glow intensity to half of its previous value.
• Left the custom armor electrical effect unchanged.

1.1.11

• Made the armor electricity fully custom and independent of Valheim particle prefabs and particle materials.
• Anchored chest and cape arcs to the upper torso skeleton and leg arcs to the hips instead of ground-level armor pivots.
• Added cleanup for custom cape and utility effects when those items are unequipped.

1.1.10

• Replaced the native particle renderer with procedural electric arcs so baked purple and white colors can no longer override the level-tier color.
• Added explicit cape quality tracking and cape arc attachment.
• Preserved the doubled arc quantity, adjusted size, and corrected chest and leg positioning.

1.1.9

• Removed the native electric particle material whose baked purple tint overrode the configured tier color.
• Changed armor sparks to use a neutral particle material colored directly by the blue, green, purple, gold, and red level tiers.

1.1.8

• Doubled the size of the armor electrical sparks.
• Doubled the number of armor electrical sparks while preserving their corrected positioning and level-tier colors.

1.1.7

• Reduced the width and stretched length of individual armor sparks to one-fifth of their previous size without reducing their quantity.
• Positioned chest and leg sparks using the rendered character bounds so they appear around the armor instead of on the ground.
• Fixed the native particle material's purple tint overriding the level-tier color; level 25 and higher now produces red sparks.

1.1.6

• Replaced the armor glow with small, continuously visible electrical sparks.
• Colored armor electricity using the same blue, green, purple, gold, and red level tiers.
• Applied the electrical effect to capes, chest armor, leg armor, helmets, and utility armor without changing their original materials.
• Kept weapon and shield glow behavior unchanged.

1.1.5

• Removed material replacement from armor to prevent washed-out textures and magenta shader errors.
• Changed armor, helmet, and cape glow to a small low-intensity colored light that preserves the original design.
• Kept the item-surface glow for weapons and shields.

1.1.4

• Reduced glow brightness and overlay opacity for capes, chest armor, leg armor, helmets, and utility armor.
• Preserved the original armor textures and colors while retaining a visible level-tier glow.
• Kept weapon and shield glow brightness unchanged.

1.1.3

• Added cleanup of chest and leg glow overlays when armor is removed.

1.1.2

• Replaced the large foggy upgrade aura with a restrained glow on the item surface.
• Applied the surface glow consistently to equipment with and without native Forge of Potential effects.
• Preserved the existing level-based glow colors.

1.1.1

• Fixed level-based glow effects not appearing on equipped chest armor, leg armor, helmets, and utility armor.
• Added synchronization of equipped armor quality so other players can see the correct glow tier.
