ValheimCli 0.5.0: native Rust CLI
Pre-releaseValheimCli 0.5.0 replaces the JavaScript CLI with standalone Rust executables. No Node.js, Bun, Rust or separately installed .NET runtime is required to use the CLI.
Download the ZIP matching your computer, extract it, and run valheim.exe on Windows or ./valheim on Linux/macOS. Add its folder to PATH if desired. See the README for setup and permissions.
- Windows x64: 572 KiB executable; Windows system DLLs only.
- Linux x64: static musl build.
- macOS: separate Intel and Apple Silicon builds.
- All existing commands, JSON output, token authentication and confirmation requirements remain supported.
- The CLI embeds the unchanged, hash-verified 0.4.0 bridge and Windows Agent startup script. Existing matching bridge installations are reused. The Thunderstore mod does not need a new DLL for this migration.
Validation: all four platform CI jobs passed formatting, lint, Rust tests, C# fixture checks, Rust/C# protocol integration, release builds and packaging. ZIP checksums and dependency notices were checked after download. These checks do not establish live gameplay or isolated-desktop startup reliability for the new native CLI; multiplayer and long sessions remain unverified.
Experimental pre-release. No AI model is bundled. Keep the local token private and inspect state before retrying an action that timed out.
