ExtraSnapsToggle
One key switches Extra Snap Points Made Easy off and on completely: its extra snap points, its snap modes (Manual, Manual+, Grid) with their keys, and its key hints. Off, the game snaps as without it.
About this mod Author’s original text
ExtraSnapsToggle
An add-on for Extra Snap Points Made Easy.
One key switches that mod off and on while you build. Off means the game behaves exactly as without it:
no extra snap points, no snap modes, the game's own snapping only. On brings everything back.
Extra Snap Points Made Easy is great until it is in the way: a beam that keeps grabbing a midpoint when you want the
corner, a roof that snaps by the wrong edge because a snap mode got switched on by accident (its Manual+ mode sits on
Left Alt, so even Alt-Tab toggles it). The mod has settings for some of this, but no key, and changing a setting
mid-game only affects pieces loaded afterwards. This mod gives you one key for all of it.
What the key switches off
- Extra snap points — on every piece at once: the piece in your hands and everything already built around you.
They are only ignored, not removed; nothing in the world changes.
- Snap modes Manual, Manual+ and Grid, together with their keys (Caps Lock, Left Alt, F3, F4) and the snap point
selection on Q / E. While the mod is off, these keys do nothing.
- Its handling of the game's own manual snapping. The game lets you pick a snap point of the piece with Q / E;
Extra Snap Points Made Easy can block that. While off, Q / E work exactly as in the unmodded game.
- Its key hints at the bottom of the screen. The game's own hints get their original text back.
Every press also starts snapping over: Extra Snap Points Made Easy comes back in Auto mode, and a snap point picked
with Q / E is reset to automatic.
How to use
- Press F7 with a hammer in your hands. A message shows the new state, and the building key hints show the current
one all the time.
- Next to no cost while building: what a piece has is looked at once and remembered. With the extra points off
the game has fewer points to compare, so snapping is, if anything, lighter than with them on.
- The state is remembered between sessions (can be turned off).
Installation
Client-side only. The server does not need it, and other players are not affected.
- Requires Extra Snap Points Made Easy 2.1.0. The mod relies on the internals of that version; if a later version
changes them, the part it cannot reach stays on and the BepInEx log says which.
- Mod manager: install as usual.
- Manual: put ExtraSnapsToggle.dll into BepInEx/plugins.

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:
