BetterBuildingMode

Better Building Mode

Improves Valheim's building experience with Free Cam Building Mode, Area Fill, Area Repair, and Free Cam resource pickup.

Features

• Free Cam Building Mode — automatically activates when a build tool is equipped while already within range of a crafting station. The player stays stationary while the camera can move and build remotely within a fixed 100 meter radius.
• Area Fill — place two aligned reference pieces and fill the missing line or rectangular area between them. Includes material checks, existing-piece exclusion, wireframe preview, pole spacing, and a movable information display.
• Area Repair — while in building mode with the Hammer's Repair option selected, repairing a structure automatically repairs all damaged structures and objects within 50 meters of the Free Cam position.
• Free Cam Resource Pickup — dropped items within 5 meters of the Free Cam can be automatically collected while normal inventory restrictions remain in effect.
