Valheim 0.217.22

Patch 0.217.22 adds the blue standing brazier and lets dedicated servers use world modifiers and presets, with several new admin console commands. It also turns off the Midsummer recipes and halves the HP of mini-bosses in Hildir events. A long list of fixes covers snap points, build range, fenring cultist trophies, UI problems and Xbox issues.
