Protects player-built Valheim structures from attacks and wear while allowing hammer removal.

About this mod Author’s original text

Structure Guard

Protects player-built Valheim structures from creature attacks, player attacks, and weather wear. Hammer removal still works. Naturally generated world pieces are unaffected.

Install

Install this package profile of every client and on the dedicated server. The package requires BepInExPack Valheim. The same StructureGuard.dll must be present on both sides. Restart the server and clients.

For a manual installation, copy StructureGuard.dll into BepInEx/plugins.

Check

Look for Structure Guard active in the BepInEx log. Test a placed wooden wall with an axe and a creature, then confirm the hammer can still remove it.

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.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
