Configuration

Config file location:

BepInEx/config/hex.waterproofbuilding.cfg

Requirements

• BepInExPack Valheim
• Jotunn

Installation

Thunderstore / r2modman

Install using a Thunderstore-compatible mod manager such as r2modman.

Manual Installation

1. Install BepInExPack Valheim.
2. Install Jotunn.
3. Extract this package.
4. Place the DLL inside:

BepInEx/plugins/HexWaterproofBuilding/

Example:

BepInEx/plugins/HexWaterproofBuilding/HexWaterproofBuilding.dll

Multiplayer

This mod has been tested in single-player.

The waterproof pieces themselves should synchronize normally because they are registered through Jotunn and use standard Valheim building systems.

For multiplayer, installing the mod on both the server and all clients is recommended.

Compatibility

• Uses Jotunn for prefab and piece registration
• Harmony patching
• Waterproof variants are separate prefabs and do not modify vanilla assets directly
• Extended-range functionality only applies to waterproof pieces
• Vanilla pieces retain normal placement and interaction distances

Notes

• Only buildable pieces are affected
• Existing vanilla pieces are unchanged
• Safe to add to an existing world
• Waterproof pieces are separate prefabs and do not replace vanilla pieces
• Removing the mod may leave placed waterproof pieces unavailable or non-interactable
