mjolnir is the tool the guides use to find a tag, print its fields, change a
value and bake the result into a container the game will load. It has always
been in the repository; it has never been something you could just download.
Now it is, and not only on Windows. The game is a Windows title — it runs on Linux under Proton and not at all on macOS — but its containers are just files, and reading and editing them turns out to need no Windows anywhere.

Added
- Prebuilt binaries for Windows, Linux and macOS, attached to the release
and mirrored on releases.mjolnircore.com. Unpack, put it on your
PATH, done — no Rust toolchain, no twenty-minute first compile. - Install with a package manager: Scoop on Windows, Homebrew on macOS and
Linux, or the
.deband.rpmpackages for Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, RHEL and openSUSE. - One macOS download for both Intel and Apple Silicon. No wrong choice to make, and no Intel build quietly running under emulation.
- A Linux build that runs on any distribution. It is statically linked, so there is nothing to install alongside it and no minimum system version — it works the same on a current Ubuntu and on a decade-old CentOS.
- Every build is checksummed, and the checksums are published in the release notes as well as next to the download.
Changed
- The getting-started and tag-editing guides now open with the download, and say where the game's files are on Linux as well as on Windows. Building from source is still supported and still documented — it is just no longer the only door.
Known issues
mjolnir poke, which changes a value in the running game, is Windows-only. It attaches to the game process, so it needs the machine the game is on.- macOS can read, edit and build containers, but the game has no macOS version, so there is no local install to point at and nothing to test a mod in. It is a machine for authoring, not for playing.
- Only 64-bit builds are published. The game is 64-bit; ARM Linux is one line of CI away if anyone wants it.
