Changelog

1.6.0

Social/QoL feature drop on top of the 1.4.0 anti-cheat + admin toolkit (everything from 1.4.0 is still here).

New

Raid event alerts. When a random event / raid begins, pauses (no players in the area), resumes, or ends, ServerGuard posts to the public Discord channel using the actual in-game event name (e.g. "The Horde Is Attacking", "You Are Being Hunted") instead of the internal code name, with world coordinates.
Player shout logging. Player shouts (/s) are forwarded by the companion and posted to the public Discord channel (chat can no longer be observed server-side, so the companion reports them).
Cheat-item removal. On login, non-admin players have configured cheat items stripped from their inventory (SwordCheat, SledgeCheat by default). Configure via enableCheatItemRemoval and cheatItems in settings.yaml; admins are exempt.

Companion

Requires companion plugin v1.6.0 (adds the optional title-screen Quick Login panel — see the client changelog).

1.4.0

Big feature drop — anti-cheat, admin tools, and Discord cleanup.

New: anti-cheat

Devcommands gate. Players can't type devcommands, god, fly, spawn, etc. on your server. Vanilla cheat commands are blocked client-side and reported to you.
Animation-cancel gate. Blocks the classic emote / sheathe attack-cancel exploit (used to spam secondary attacks faster than vanilla allows).
Movement-speed sanity check. Flags players moving impossibly fast across the ground.
Inventory validation. Flags unknown items and over-sized stacks server-side.
Skill-level cap. Catches players with skill levels above the cap (default 100 + tolerance).

New: forensic tools

Build/destroy heatmap. Every piece place / destroy is logged to a daily CSV with attribution, including creature destroys (Troll smashes your base = logged as "Troll").
Death log. When a player dies, an entry is posted to your public Discord with the cause (creature name, PvP killer with SteamID, or environmental cause like "drowned"/"fell").
Modset fingerprint. Each server publishes a short hash (e.g. 8ce8906e) that uniquely identifies its modpack — players can verify they're connecting with the matching pack.

New: admin console commands

Press F5 to open the console, then type sg help. You'll get a moderation toolkit without leaving the game:

sg status, sg reload, sg modset, sg selftest
sg whois <name>, sg violations, sg pardon, sg kick
sg build at <x> <z> / by <name> / today — query the heatmap
sg destroyed at|by|today and sg placed at|by|today — filter to destroys or placements only

Discord channel split

Public channel = community-friendly events only: joined, left, kicked, died. Safe to share with all players.
Admin channel (new) = curated moderation events: violations, config reloads, admin command audit, daily summary. Set discordWebhookUrlAdmin in settings.yaml.
Admins are hidden from the public channel. Their join/leave/death events go to the admin channel only.
Daily summary posts a one-paragraph digest each UTC midnight (joins, leaves, kicks, bans, top kick reasons).

New: ping / latency log

Optional admin-only feature: posts each player's first ping after join and their session-average on disconnect. Helps spot VPN / proxy users. Default off.

Other improvements

Self-test on boot. Smoke-tests config (HMAC, webhook URLs, file permissions). Alerts the admin channel on any failure.
Player death cause messages. Now show creature names, killer SteamID for PvP, or environmental cause (burned / drowned / fell / etc.).
Per-rule "counts as violation" toggle so you can tune which rules can lead to auto-ban vs which are just informational.
Hot-reload of all config files — edit settings.yaml / admins.yaml / allowed_mods.yaml and the server picks it up within a second.
Mod-set fingerprint mismatch detection. When a player connects with the right mods but different versions, the admin channel notes it.

Bug fixes

Admin connection event now shows up properly.
Hammer-removed pieces now log correctly with attribution.
Build positions now record the real world coords (not the prefab origin).
Several Mono compatibility fixes for current Valheim builds.

1.3.0

Initial public release. Mod allowlist with HMAC-signed attestation, per-peer auto-ban for repeat violations, hot-reload of configs, Discord webhook integration.
