Features

• Editor mode independent of your player character.
• Tools that make building easier.

Installation

Mod manager

Install this package with Thunderstore Mod Manager or r2modman. The required BepInExPack for Valheim is installed as a dependency. Launch the game through your mod manager.

Manual

Install BepInExPack for Valheim, then copy ValheimAxiom.dll into BepInEx/plugins/ValheimStudio/ in your Valheim installation.

Getting started

Load a world and press Right Shift to open the editor.

The distributed plugin currently identifies itself as Valheim Axiom 0.15.5 in logs and uses the filename ValheimAxiom.dll. This is the plugin included in Valheim Studio; avoid installing duplicate copies.
