About this mod Author’s original text

PocketWorkbench

A small portable toolbox you can place anywhere for 1 wood. It gives you the same building area as a level 1 workbench, without leaving workbenches scattered around the map.

What it does

  • Building: Build, repair and deconstruct workbench-tier pieces, and raise ground with the hoe
  • Cost: 1 wood, no workbench needed to place it
  • Build area: Same radius as a level 1 workbench
  • Footprint: Smaller than a workbench to you don't have the hassel of placing it down in tight spots.

What it doesn't do: no crafting, no repairing gear, and no "player base" safe zone, so enemies still spawn around it.

Good for

  • Building roads, signs, ramps and torches out in the field
  • Quick camps away from home
  • Reaching the edges of a big base without placing extra workbenches everywhere

Find it in the Hammer menu, right after the workbench.

Requirements

  • BepInExPack for Valheim
  • Jotunn

Mod managers install both automatically.

Manual installation

  • Install BepInExPack for Valheim and Jotunn.
  • Put Toolbox.dll in Valheim/BepInEx/plugins.

Multiplayer

Everyone on the server, and the server itself, needs the mod installed.

Possible Future Plans

  • Forge or stone table version.
  • Basic tool repairs.

1.0.0: Initial release

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin

  1. The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
  2. 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.
  3. Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
  4. 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:
