OHN0 Hoe Leveler

Client-side BepInEx 5 mod for Valheim that widens the hoe's level-ground action.

The mod does not add a custom server RPC. When the local client places Valheim's normal level-ground terrain operation, the mod replays additional vanilla level-ground operations around the target point using the ground height where the local player is standing. Low spots are filled and high spots are cut by Valheim's existing terrain leveling code, within the normal terrain edit depth limits.

The mod adds its own OHN0 Hoe Leveler button to Valheim's ESC menu for turning edited leveling on/off and changing the radius in game. When edited leveling is enabled, Valheim's normal hoe placement indicator is scaled to the selected radius.

Use In Game

1. Restart Valheim through the Unnamed Run r2modman profile.
2. Load into a world.
3. Press ESC.
4. Click OHN0 Hoe Leveler.

7. Optional: switch Footprint between Circular and Square.
8. Optional: raise Extra passes if a very large radius looks patchy.
9. Close the menu.
10. Equip a hoe and select Valheim's normal level-ground/flatten action.
