Build Water

Author: AGA7ON
Version: 0.9.14

Description

Build Water adds placeable water blocks with proper water volume behavior. It integrates with terrain so ground becomes wet and water vegetation appears near the water surface, and it lets the hoe/cultivator work through water blocks. Configuration changes apply live without restarting the game.

Features

• Placeable water blocks with real water volume.
• Terrain moisture and water-edge vegetation support.
• Hoe/cultivator ignores water block collisions.
• Live config updates (no restart required).

Installation

1. Install BepInExPack for Valheim..
2. Copy BuildWater.dll to BepInEx/plugins/.
3. Launch the game once to generate BepInEx/config/buildwater.cfg.
