More Vanilla Build Prefabs

MoreVanillaBuildPrefabs

MoreVanillaBuildPrefabs is a Valheim mod to make all vanilla prefabs buildable with the hammer while allowing you to configure the requirements to build them. You can configure which prefabs are available for building and what the building requirements are, though the mod comes with a vanilla progression friendly default configuration that enables over 100 new pieces so you can start playing right away without any hassle or worrying about unlocking pieces you haven't found in the world yet.

Server-Side Info: This mod does work as a client-side only mod. It is strongly recommended that you install it on the server you play on if possible though as multiple players with conflicting configurations can result in losing build resources when pieces are deconstructed. Not installing the mod on the server also means that some pieces (like the new ship) may not function well for players without the mod.

Deep North Notice

I have updated the mod to work with the Deep North update but I haven't had a chance to playthrough the new content yet so I have not enabled or patched any of the new pieces yet. Also, the config settings for the build piece category will need to be overhauled to allow users to control which tabs the new pieces show up but for now I have set up automated sorting for all pieces that I hope is reasonably intuitive for users.

Expect more updates in the near future to improve the configuration options and expand the default settings to enable more pieces by default.

As of version 1.7.0 the default configuration settings now allow you to place every single thing in the vanilla game that is discovered by this mod. I have also patched almost everything to make sure that you can remove it after placing it. Configuring default resource costs and adding custom snap points is still a work in progress.

Version 1.7.0 Notice

WARNING: This mod no longer allows player-built pieces that have a WearNTear component to not require support, this change is persistent for anything you build with MVBP and affects vanilla clients. Things like ships and carts are unnaffected as they do not require support in the vanilla game. Anything that is meant to float on water or be able to get thrown around after placing it is also unaffected. There are also still many build pieces that will not require support because they are not normal build pieces such as various rocks and trees.

This means that if you have builds that relied on floating pieces with 100% stability then those builds may break after this update if they depend on the subset of pieces that are affected by the WearNTear patch. However, you can configure which pieces you want to still not require support by adding the names of them to the new configuration setting IgnoreWearNTearPatches to your existing floating builds. See below for a list of pieces you may want to add to that setting. While the changes from the config setting are persistent, they do require you to reload an area to affect anything that is already placed.

Key Feature

Because all the added build pieces are pre-existing vanilla prefabs, any pieces you build with this mod will persist in your world even if you uninstall the mod. This means that pieces you build on a server will also be visible for players without the mod and any builds using the pieces from this mod will load for players without the mod.

Example Builds

If you want to see what kind of pieces get added by default and are unlocked as you progress through each biome you can take a look at these builds shared by MoreVanillaBuildPrefabs users (thanks to DreamWraith and Goldenrevolver!). Builds are grouped by based on the biome that the pieces used in the build are unlocked (when using the default mod configuration) and the sections containing the images are collapsed by default so people can avoid spoilers if they wish to. Also, if you make a build using MoreVanillaBuildPrefabs and want it to be featured here let me know!
