Legacy Build Menu

You have several ways you can set up your legacy build menu now.

Without a search bar like below.

With the search bar you can also search @modname to quickly find specific mod items.

You can also search ! for resource or prefab name items. Below I searched for items that used Copper Coins from my currency mod.

You can easily change the menu width and height with the bottom right corner and move the menu around with the bottom left corner.

You also no longer have any need for SearsCatalog now. This mod also adds in the scroll future.

You can also switch back to the new build menu if you prefer.

Legacy Build Menu

Valheim 1.0 replaced the build menu. This puts the old one back, the way it was before 1.0: category tabs across the top, the icon grid under them, Q/E and the mouse wheel to switch tabs. Nothing added on top.

Features

• The pre-1.0 build menu, open with your usual build menu key.
• Keyboard, mouse and gamepad controls from before 1.0.
• A search bar above the pieces (AAABuildMenu's look, SearchableBuildMenu's tricks). Every tab filters down to what

matches and the tab counts show where the hits are.

• @ravenwood - pieces from a mod. Matches the mod's name, its GUID or its dll name.
• !stone - pieces that cost that material.
• anything else matches the piece name or description.
• Mix them, @ravenwood !stone wall needs all three to match.
• Move the menu by dragging its bottom-left corner, resize it from the bottom-right one. The grips show when you hover

them. The grid adds columns as it gets wider and scrolls when a tab has more than fits, so no more 90-piece cap per tab.

• Pieces and category tabs from PieceManager and Jotunn mods show up like they used to.
• The new Deep North category gets a proper tab name.
• A modded piece with a broken recipe no longer breaks the whole menu. The log names the piece instead.
• Switch it off in the config (Use Legacy Build Menu) to get the 1.0 menu back, no restart needed.

Notes

• Client side only. Nothing to install on the server.
• Don't run it next to AAABuildMenu or SearchableBuildMenu. AAABuildMenu has its own classic menu option and

LegacyBuildMenu steps aside when it finds it. SearchableBuildMenu's search is built in here.

• @ search works out a piece's mod from the asset bundle it was loaded from, or from Jotunn's registry. A piece a mod

builds by cloning a vanilla one without Jotunn has nothing to trace it back with, so @ won't find it.

Recommended Mods:

The above mods help ensure you have the best experience in Valheim while managing your mods.

Pick one of the mods below for your build menu needs, but only one. They are basically the same thing. Legacy Build Menu has the old build menu enabled by default and has an @modname search. AAA Build Menu has more features and uses the new build menu by default. Both mods add a scroll bar to make sure you can always use all build pieces.
