What It Adds

• Homestead hammer tab for Area Save, Area Dismantle, Blueprint Store, and saved blueprints.
• Native blueprints that preserve build pieces, required materials, preview placement, and final confirmation.
• Blueprint Store for listing, buying, offering, notifications, and seller payouts.
• Area Dismantle for removing owned builds in a selected rectangle and returning materials.
• Build camera for easier large-scale building from a detached view.
• Placement helpers for grid snap, nudging, rotation step, and X/Z rotation offsets.
• Dvergr circlet controls for light toggle, intensity, range, durability drain, and synced visuals.

Core Flow

Save And Build

1. Equip the hammer.
2. Open the Homestead tab.
3. Select Area Save.
4. Mark a structure and save it as a blueprint.
5. Select the saved blueprint from the Homestead tab.
6. Place the blueprint chest.
7. Deposit the required materials.
8. Confirm the build.

Default confirm hotkey:

Alt + E

Sell A Blueprint

1. Open the Homestead hammer tab.
2. Hover a saved blueprint.
3. Use the Blueprint Store list modifier and click.
4. Place the price chest.
5. Set the price.
6. Confirm the listing.

Buy A Blueprint

1. Open Blueprint Store from the Homestead tab.
2. Select a listing.
3. Preview or place a purchase chest.
4. Deposit the listed price materials.
5. Confirm the purchase.

The purchased blueprint is saved to the buyer's blueprint list.

Area Tools

Area Save and Area Dismantle use the same rectangle controls:

• Wheel: rotate the area.
• Alt + Wheel: scale width and depth together.
• Mouse3 + Wheel: adjust depth.
• Mouse4 + Wheel: adjust width.
• Placement-adjust modifier + arrows/PgUp/PgDn: nudge the tool or preview.

Area Dismantle is intentionally conservative:

• only matching player-owned pieces are dismantled
• Homestead blueprint/store chests are protected
• containers, item stands, and armor stands with contents are skipped
• extra prefab blacklist entries can be configured

Blueprint Building

Blueprint placement uses a temporary blueprint chest. The chest shows missing requirements, accepts only needed materials, and finalizes the build when everything is ready.

Blueprint Store

The Blueprint Store lets players trade saved Homestead blueprints.

Store actions include:

• list a blueprint
• edit price
• preview before buying
• buy with materials
• make offers
• accept or decline offers
• hide listings locally
• withdraw seller earnings through payout chests

Notifications appear for store events such as new listings, offers, accepted offers, and purchases.

Build Camera

Build camera helps with tall, wide, or awkward builds by letting the camera move away from the player while building.

It supports:

• configurable distance
• comfort-scaled distance
• pickup range
• look-at lock
• optional Dvergr circlet light follow

Placement Helpers

Homestead adds small controls that make regular building less fussy:

• grid snap
• position nudging
• adjustable rotation step
• X/Z rotation offsets
• key hints for Homestead controls

Dvergr Circlet

Homestead can extend the Dvergr circlet with per-item light controls:

• toggle light on/off
• adjust intensity
• adjust range
• drain durability while lit
• sync custom-slot visuals and light state for nearby players
