About this mod Author’s original text
Building Inspector 0.2.6
A minimal BepInEx plugin for Valheim that adds six free inspection flags to Hammer → Inspection:
- 🔴 Problem — marks an issue
- 🟡 Review — marks something that needs review
- 🟢 Verified — marks an inspected area
- 🔵 Other — marks another category
- 🟣 Structural — marks structural work that needs attention
- ⚪ Finish — marks finishing work that needs attention
You can customize each flag's label, description, and color in the mod configuration. Flags align to the surface you are aiming at, and the pole extends slightly into the surface. Use the mouse wheel to rotate around the surface normal.
Flag tilt
While a flag placement ghost is active:
- I / K — tilt forward or backward
- J / L — tilt sideways
- Insert — reset the tilt
Each key press applies the configured tilt step, up to the configured maximum angle.
Flag notes
Aim at a placed flag and press N to add or edit its note. Notes are saved with the flag and appear when you look at it.
Placement and support
Flags follow Valheim's building support system and collapse when unsupported. A flag also blocks placement of another inspection flag within 0.2 m.
Configuration
Key bindings and tilt angles are in BepInEx/config/Lanoz.BuildingInspector.cfg, under [Flag Rotation]. Flag labels, descriptions, and colors are under [Flag Labels], in slots 1–6. Colors use hex notation, such as #FF0000. Restart the game after changing labels.
The mod does not automatically scan or analyze buildings.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin
- The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
- Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
- Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
- Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.
Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file. In multiplayer, the host and every client need the same mods installed.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
