EarthWright

Terraforming for Valheim's hoe and cultivator, inside the game's build menu.

Features

• Brush: size (Alt + mouse wheel), five shapes (circle, square, rectangle, ring, frame), rotation, soft or hard edge, grid snapping.
• Exact target heights and three level styles for flat ground (below).
• New hoe and cultivator entries (below); the game's own gain the brush, and each entry's description lists its keys.
• Ramps and curved roads, coloured by slope for carts.
• Undo and redo (Ctrl + Z / Ctrl + Y) and named area snapshots.
• A preview of every changed point, the cost on the HUD, a world grid and an exact-values panel (F6).
• Server rules: costs, height limits per biome (past the game's 8 m too), terrain lock, admin zones; wards cover the whole brush.
• Custom entries: server admins add menu entries that run console commands.
• Tools: longer reach, a light, a left-hand torch, levels up to 6; faster sprinting on roads; a seed grid.

Hoe entries

• Level ground: levels toward the target height in the chosen level style.
• Raise ground / Lower ground: raises or digs by an exact amount, up to the height limits.
• Pathen / Paved road: paints a dirt path, or levels and paves a road.
• Smooth ground: evens out bumps and ridges, keeping the slope.
• Paint ground: paints only: dirt, paved, tilled, grass, original, vegetation and more.
• Reset ground: returns the ground to the world's original height and texture.
• Ramp: three clicks build a ramp: straight, soft joins, soft ends or S-curve.
• Road: click waypoints, then carve a curved road through them.
• Groundbreaker: levels and paves in one swing, clearing trees and rocks first when allowed.
• Clear objects: removes trees, stumps, logs, shrubs, rocks and pickables (when the server allows).
• Terraform (admins): sets the whole brush to the target height in one swing.

Cultivator entries

• Cultivate / Replant: tills while levelling, or brings the grass back.
• Till: tills without changing the height.
• Uproot: pulls up wild berries, mushrooms, flowers and stones; crops are left alone.

Level styles

• Ease: moves gently toward the target, as the unmodded game does.
• Step: moves straight toward the target, at most one step per click.
• Instant: sets every point to the target at once: a flat plateau.

Target heights

• Feet: the ground under you, as the game does.
• Aimed: the ground under the crosshair.
• Continued: the height of earlier flat ground next to the crosshair.
• Locked: one fixed height for every click until released.
• Exact: a typed or stepped height.
• Floor: the top of the building piece under the crosshair.

Install

Needed on the server and every client. Install with r2modman or the Thunderstore app, or put EarthWright.dll in BepInEx/plugins. Keep it installed once you have raised or dug past 8 m, or that ground is drawn clamped to the game's limits.

Configuration

BepInEx/config/milkyteam.earthwright.cfg and YAML files (brushes, costs, entries, limits, zones). Every setting is described in the file and applies without a restart; the server's values bind every player, keys and display options stay your own. Console: ew help; all commands with arguments: https://github.com/geraldjglasgow/ValheimMods/blob/main/EarthWright/CLAUDE.md#console-commands Translate: save a copy of English.yml as EarthWright.translations.<Language>.yml in BepInEx/config.
