HexWaterproofBuilding

Adds waterproof versions of vanilla wood-based build pieces to Valheim.

Features

• Adds a new Waterproof hammer build tab
• Clones vanilla wood, darkwood, and ashwood building pieces
• Waterproof pieces do not take rain damage
• Uses vanilla build requirements plus Resin
• Supports normal placement, snapping, removal, persistence, and no-build-cost mode
• Vanilla-friendly gameplay integration

Configuration

Config file location:

BepInEx/config/hex.waterproofbuilding.cfg

Example configuration:

[General]

## Enable or disable the mod
# Setting type: Boolean
# Default value: true
Enabled = true

⚠️ Changes to the Enabled setting require a full game restart.

Waterproof pieces are registered during game initialization and cannot be safely removed at runtime.

Requirements

• BepInExPack Valheim
• Jotunn

Installation

Thunderstore / r2modman

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

Manual Installation

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

BepInEx/plugins/HexWaterproofBuilding/

Example:

Multiplayer

⚠️ Multiplayer compatibility has NOT been fully tested.

This mod has primarily been tested in single-player/client-side environments.

If using in multiplayer, installing the mod on both the server and all clients is recommended for the best chance of consistent behavior.

Potential multiplayer issues may include:

• Missing build pieces
• Incorrect persistence behavior
• Rendering inconsistencies
• Placement synchronization issues

Use in multiplayer at your own risk until additional testing is completed.

Compatibility

• Uses Jotunn for prefab and piece registration
• Lightweight Harmony patching
• Designed to minimize conflicts with other mods
• Waterproof variants are separate prefabs and do not modify vanilla assets directly

Notes

• Only buildable pieces are affected
• Existing vanilla pieces are unchanged
• Safe to add to an existing world
• Removing the mod may leave placed waterproof pieces unavailable or non-interactable
