BepInEx pack for Valheim. Preconfigured with the correct entry point for mods and preferred defaults for the community.

PrecisionBuild
A lightweight client-side building helper for Valheim. It projects an aligned visual grid directly onto surfaces (floors, walls, ground), lets any piece snap cleanly to grid intersections, adds quick rotation angle switching, and allows placing entire rows of items in one click.
Supports both English and Russian (automatically adapts to your game language).
Features
- Surface-Projected Grid: Renders a clean, semi-transparent white grid that conforms to terrain, wood, stone, and vertical walls.
- Universal Snapping: Snaps all building pieces, chests, crafting stations, and furniture to grid nodes.
- Smart Rotation Steps: Cycle through
90В°,45В°,22.5В°, and5В°rotation increments with a single key. Align chests flush with walls or make fine-tuned angular adjustments. - Line Placement: Hold
Left Altand scroll to place a row of 1 to 10 pieces with even spacing. Left-click places the entire line. - Surface Elevation Protection: Pieces won't sink into floors or clip into walls.
- Compact HUD Hints: Unobtrusive one-line hotkey reminder above the building HUD.
- Full Color Customization: White by default (
#FFFFFF), with support for any custom HEX color in config.

CHANGELOG
Changelog
[1.1.1] - 2026-09-23
Fixed
- Fixed an issue where mod hotkeys (
B,N,K,J) triggered while typing in the hammer build menu search bar or while the piece selection table was open. Hotkeys are now properly suppressed whenever any UI text input or the build menu is active.
[1.1.0] - 2026-09-20
Added
- Snap Target Toggle: Press
Jto switch between snapping to grid intersections (corners) and cell centers. Center snapping makes it effortless to place furniture, tables, and hearths right in the middle of floor tiles. - HUD hint bar updated to show the currently active snap target mode (
Corners/Centers).
Fixed & Removed
- Removed the multi-piece row placement feature to resolve placement stability and collision issues.
- Streamlined placement logic and cleaned up input handling.
[1.0.0] - 2026-09-16
Initial Release
- Surface-projected building grid with slope and wall support.
- Snapping to grid intersections for all building pieces, chests, and furniture.
- Smart rotation step cycling (
