About this mod Author’s original text
Cano.Fixedheim
Valheim's new build menu is lacking alot of functionality. So I made this mod to solve some of its issues, as well as other things I wanted without having to add a bunch of mods.
So I made this mainly for myself but sharing it so others wanting a similar solution can have one.
Requirements
- Valheim 1.0+
- BepInExPack Valheim-5.4.2351
No additional mod dependencies are required.
Installation
Mod Manager / r2modman
- Install Cano.Fixedheim through Mod Manager, r2modman, or another compatible client.
- Make sure BepInExPack Valheim is installed.

Mouse QoL
Adds more precise ways to interact with item stacks without replacing Valheim's normal right-click behaviour.
- Single item pickup: Hold Single Item Modifier Key and right-click a stack to pick up one item at a time.
- Ctrl on Windows/Linux
- Cmd on macOS
- Scroll to adjust: Use the mouse wheel over a stack to pick up one item or adjust the amount being carried.
- Cancel with the wheel: Scroll down to zero while carrying a stack to cancel the pickup.
- Middle-click: Pick up half of a stack.
- Drag to distribute: Hold the distribution modifier, click an empty slot, and drag across additional empty slots to distribute the carried stack evenly.
Plain right-click remains Valheim's normal behaviour.

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:
