Tested and certified compatible with Valheim 1.0.21, the latest version of the game (28 October 2026 update).

The Caw-nstructor in hand, B: the Forsaken power flash, the body frozen in a spectral trance, then the spirit raven flying around it in a forest at night

Build from above, from behind, from any angle, as a raven of Odin. Craft The Caw-nstructor, hold it, and press B: your character raises a hand in the Forsaken power gesture and freezes in a spectral trance, while your spirit takes off as a glowing violet raven. That raven is your camera: fly freely around your body, through walls and ground, and place, remove, copy and repair pieces up to 50 m away. Press B again and the spirit flies back into your body.

Features

  • The Caw-nstructor: the raven's building hammer, crafted at the workbench. It builds everything the game's hammer builds, with its own model (bog wood, iron, glowing violet runes, a violet crystal and two raven feathers at the pommel), four times the durability and half the stamina per piece placed. Three levels. Only The Caw-nstructor opens the raven flight: with any other tool, B does nothing.
  • The trance: the real Forsaken power gesture of the game, frozen at its peak; the power itself is not used and has no cooldown. The bare skin turns spectral and glows, magic sparks swirl out of it and flow back in, an ethereal smoke rises, and a faint violet light falls on the ground and on what is close. Your clothes and armor stay as they are.
  • The spirit raven, a free building camera: fly with your movement keys, Space to go up, Ctrl to go down, Shift to go faster; the mouse looks around. Your body stays where it stands and does not move.
  • Build from the raven: everything within 50 m of your body can be placed, removed, copied and repaired, wherever the raven is. The game's rules still apply: your body must be within a workbench's range, wards and no-build zones are respected.
  • Through everything: the spirit raven passes through ground, water, walls and objects, to look under a floor, between two beams or inside a house (can be turned off).
  • Resources at your feet: pieces removed from the raven drop their resources at your body's feet, instead of 50 m away. The game itself still decides what comes back.
  • The spotlight: in raven flight, F lights a spotlight shaped like the Dvergr circlet's beam, in the warm color of the game's torches. Its reach follows what you look at. Color, brightness, reach and width can be set. Only you see it.
  • Photo mode: in raven flight, P makes the raven hover where it is and shows it to you, as the other players see it. The mouse turns around it, the wheel brings it closer or farther, the HUD hides itself, and left click saves the picture (without the little reminder at the top of the screen).
  • Its own sounds: a mystic aura rising into the raven view, and a soft flurry of feathers when the spirit returns. Calm, never in your face, even the fifteenth time. The Forsaken power flash keeps its light but not its sound during a trance.
  • Seen by the others: players who have the mod see your spectral body, the spirit raven leaving your head, flying where you fly and diving back in, and hear the trance sounds around you.
  • Torches stay lit: the game turns off lights far from your character; around the raven, torches, fires and braziers stay lit.
  • Safe: a hit on your body, the pause menu or putting The Caw-nstructor away brings the spirit back. While you fly, your Forsaken power waits.
  • A discreet reminder of the keys at the top of the screen, with your distance from your body (for example 23 / 50 m). Hidden with the HUD (Ctrl+F3).

Crafting The Caw-nstructor

At the workbench (can be changed in the settings):

  • 1 Surtling core · 2 Greydwarf eyes · 2 Feathers · 3 Core wood · 2 Tin · 5 Thistle
  • Upgrades (levels 2 and 3): Feathers, Core wood and Tin only.

Configuration

BepInEx/config/com.Azura.rtfmb.cfg is created at the first launch, each setting described in English and in French. The main ones:

Setting Default Meaning
FreeCameraKey B Trance and raven flight, and back (The Caw-nstructor in hand)
LightKey F In raven flight: spotlight on or off
PhotoKey P In raven flight: photo mode
PhotoShotKey Mouse0 (left click) In photo mode: save the picture
Range 50 How far the raven flies from your body, and how far you build (10 to 60 m)
Speed / RunMultiplier 8 / 3 Flying speed, and its multiplier while running
FlyWhereYouLook false true: forward follows the camera's tilt
PassThrough true The raven passes through ground, water, walls and objects
ExitWhenHurt true The spirit comes back when your body takes damage
HideCharacter false Hide your body on your own screen while you fly
ResourcesAtYourFeet true Resources of removed pieces land at your body's feet
Color Torch The spotlight's color: Torch (the game's torches), Dvergr (the circlet's cyan) or Custom (the color set in CustomColor)
Intensity 1 The spotlight's brightness: 1 = two thirds of the Dvergr circlet's, 1.5 = as bright as the circlet
Reach / BeamAngle 0 / 0 How far the spotlight reaches and how wide its cone is. 0 = automatic: it reaches what you look at, with the circlet's 108° cone
Folder (Photo) empty Where pictures are saved. Empty: …\AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim\R.T.F.M.B, next to your worlds
SizeMultiplier (Photo) 1 Pictures at 1 to 4 times the screen's size
Raven and Trance sections the look shown here The look of the spirit raven and of the body in trance: opacity, glow, outline, paleness, brightness, light around them, sparks, smoke, the trance's color
Station (Crafting) piece_workbench Where The Caw-nstructor is crafted and repaired
ShowHint true The key reminder at the top of the screen

Most settings change at once in game with a configuration menu mod (such as Configuration Manager).

Good to know

  • Your body stays the center: the world is loaded around your character, so the raven and your building reach stay within 50 m of it.
  • Pictures and Windows: Windows' Controlled folder access blocks unknown programs, games included, from writing in Pictures or Documents. That is why the pictures go to the game's own data folder by default; to save them elsewhere, set Folder (and allow valheim.exe in Windows Security if that folder is protected).
  • With a controller: left stick to fly, right stick to look; set FlyWhereYouLook = true to change height by looking up or down.
  • One free camera at a time: don't use it together with another free camera or build camera mod. Both would take over the same camera and the same keys.

Installation

  • Who needs it: every player who wants to fly. To see the others' spectral trance and spirit raven, you need the mod too; without it, they look frozen in the Forsaken power gesture. On a dedicated server, install it as well so the server knows The Caw-nstructor; it loads there and does nothing else.
  • With a mod manager (r2modman, Thunderstore Mod Manager, Gale): click Install. BepInExPack Valheim is installed with it.
  • By hand: install BepInExPack Valheim, then put RTFMB.dll in Valheim/BepInEx/plugins/.

Tested with Valheim 1.0.21 and BepInExPack Valheim 5.4.2350.


En français

Testé et certifié compatible avec Valheim 1.0.21, la toute dernière version du jeu (mise à jour du 28 octobre 2026).

Construire d'en haut, de derrière, sous tous les angles, en corbeau d'Odin. Fabriquez le Kroââ-structeur, prenez-le en main et appuyez sur B : votre personnage lève la main dans le geste du pouvoir des Abandonnés et se fige en transe spectrale, pendant que votre esprit s'envole en corbeau violet et lumineux. Ce corbeau est votre caméra : on vole librement autour du corps, à travers murs et sol, pour poser, déconstruire, copier et réparer des pièces jusqu'à 50 m. B de nouveau, et l'esprit revient dans le corps.

  • Le Kroââ-structeur : le marteau du corbeau, fabriqué à l'établi. Il construit tout ce que construit le marteau du jeu, avec son propre modèle (bois de tourbière, fer, runes violettes qui luisent, cristal violet, deux plumes de corbeau au pommeau), quatre fois sa durabilité et deux fois moins d'endurance par pièce posée. Trois niveaux. Seul le Kroââ-structeur ouvre le vol du corbeau : avec un autre outil, B ne fait rien.
  • Recette : 1 cœur de Surtling, 2 yeux de nain gris, 2 plumes, 3 bois robuste, 2 étain, 5 chardons ; améliorations avec les plumes, le bois robuste et l'étain seulement.
  • La transe : le vrai geste du pouvoir des Abandonnés, figé à son sommet ; le pouvoir n'est pas utilisé et n'a pas de temps de recharge. La peau nue devient spectrale et lumineuse, des étincelles de magie en sortent et y rentrent, une fumée éthérée s'élève, une faible lueur violette tombe sur le sol et sur ce qui est proche. Les vêtements et l'armure restent tels quels.
  • Le corbeau esprit, caméra libre de construction : touches de déplacement pour voler, Espace pour monter, Ctrl pour descendre, Maj pour aller plus vite ; la souris oriente le regard. Le corps reste où il est.
  • Construire depuis le corbeau : tout ce qui est à 50 m du corps se pose, se déconstruit, se copie et se répare, où que soit le corbeau. Les règles du jeu restent : établi à portée du corps, protections et zones interdites respectées. Les ressources des pièces déconstruites tombent aux pieds du corps.
  • À travers tout : le corbeau esprit traverse sol, eau, murs et objets (réglage PassThrough).
  • Le projecteur : F allume au bout de la caméra un projecteur en forme du faisceau du diadème des Dvergr, à la lumière chaude des torches ; couleur, puissance, portée et largeur réglables. Vous seul le voyez.
  • Le mode photo : P fige le corbeau en vol stationnaire et vous le montre, comme le voient les autres ; la souris tourne autour, la molette rapproche ou éloigne, l'interface se cache, et le clic gauche enregistre la photo, par défaut dans …\AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim\R.T.F.M.B (l'accès contrôlé aux dossiers de Windows interdit aux jeux d'écrire dans Images ; réglage Folder pour un autre dossier).
  • Des sons à elle : une aura mystique qui monte jusqu'à la vue corbeau, une nuée de plumes quand l'esprit revient. Calmes, même à la quinzième fois.
  • Vu par les autres : les joueurs qui ont le mod voient votre corps spectral et le corbeau esprit qui sort de la tête, vole et y replonge, et entendent les sons de la transe. Sans le mod, ils vous voient figé dans le geste du pouvoir.
  • Multijoueur : chacun l'installe s'il veut voler ; sur un serveur dédié, l'installer aussi pour qu'il connaisse le Kroââ-structeur (il s'y charge sans rien faire d'autre). Une seule caméra libre à la fois : ne pas l'utiliser avec un autre mod de caméra libre ou de caméra de construction.
  • Réglages dans BepInEx/config/com.Azura.rtfmb.cfg, décrits en anglais et en français. Messages dans la langue du jeu : 35 langues, dont le français.
