Manual Installation:

1. Install the BepInExPack Valheim.
2. Download the latest zip.
3. Extract it in the <GameDirectory>\BepInEx\plugins\ folder.
4. Recommended to also install Comfy Gizmo or Gizmo Reloaded for better rotating.
5. Optionally also install the Configuration manager to configure the hammer more easily.
6. Recommended to also install Server Devcommands for improved autocomplete and to use it as an admin on servers.

Commands

Note: Some commands have a direction parameter. These are intended for mouse wheel binding and are something you probably don't have to use.

• hammer: Selects the hovered object to be placed.
• hammer [item id]: Selects an object by id (Item IDs) to be placed.
• hammer [item id] [scale=1]: Selects an object by id while setting the initial scale (if the object can be scaled). Number or x,y,z.
• hammer_add_piece_components: Adds the Piece component to every object which allows copying them with PlanBuild mod.
• hammer_blueprint [file name]: Selects a Build Share or a Plan Build blueprint located on your computer.
• hammer_config [key] [value]: Toggles or sets configuration values. For lists, the given value is toggled on or off (remove_blacklist or select_blacklist).
• hammer_freeze: Toggles whether the mouse affects placement position. Allows moving around while the object's position is frozen.
• hammer_grid [precision] [center=current]: Restricts possible placement coordinates. Using the same command removes the restriction.
• hammer_location [location_id] [seed=0] [random damage]: Selects a location by id. Allows setting the random result with seed ("all" value enables all child objects).
• hammer_move [forward,up,right]: Moves the placement ghost offset for precise placement. Auto value can be used for the object size.
• hammer_move_backward [meters or number*auto] [direction=1]: Moves the placement towards the backward direction.
• hammer_move_down [meters or number*auto] [direction=1]: Moves the placement towards the down direction.
• hammer_move_forward [meters or number*auto] [direction=1]: Moves the placement towards the forward direction.
• hammer_move_left [meters or number*auto] [direction=1]: Moves the placement towards the left direction.
• hammer_move_right [meters or number*auto] [direction=1]: Moves the placement towards right left direction.
• hammer_move_up [meters or number*auto] [direction=1]: Moves the placement towards the up direction.
• hammer_offset [forward,up,right]: Sets the placement ghost offset.
• hammer_offset_x [value]: Sets the offset in the right / left direction.
• hammer_offset_y [value]: Sets the offset in the up / down direction.
• hammer_offset_z [value]: Sets the offset in the forward / backward direction.
• hammer_place: Allows placing with a key press (for command bindings).
• hammer_redo: Restores reverted actions. Uses Server Devcommands undo system if installed.
• hammer_repair: Selects the repair tool. Useful for clearing the selection.
• hammer_rotate_x [degrees] [direction=1]: Rotates around the X axis.
• hammer_rotate_x [number*random] [direction=1]: Randomly rotates around the X axis with a given step size. For example 3*random would randomly rotate 0, 120 or 240 degrees.

Note: Some interactions are quite complicated so please report any issues!

Key bindings

Bind frequently used commands to (key codes).

When sharing the config file, put bindings to the binds setting with format keycode1 command1;keycode2 command2. For example keypad0 hammer;keypad7 hammer_undo;keypad9 hammer_redo.

It's recommended to install Server Devcommands mod which allows using modifier keys on bindings.

Remember that you can copy-paste commands to the console.

General usage

Quickly selects the hovered object and undo/redo:

• bind keypad5 hammer
• bind keypad7 hammer_undo
• bind keypad9 hammer_redo

Object scaling and reset:

• bind keypad1 hammer_scale_down
• bind keypad2 hammer_scale
• bind keypad3 hammer_scale_up

Toggles all features on/off (if even needed):

• bind keypad8 hammer_config enabled

Precise placement / placement offset

Bind freezing or offset reset near arrow keys:

• bind keypad0 hammer_freeze or bind keypad0 hammer_offset

Then bind movement to arrow keys:

• bind rightarrow hammer_move_right 0.1
• bind leftarrow hammer_move_left 0.1
• bind downarrow hammer_move_down 0.1
• bind uparrow hammer_move_up 0.1

With Server Devcommands you can use modifier keys for the forward/backward direction:

• bind rightarrow hammer_move_right 0.1
• bind leftarrow hammer_move_left 0.1
• bind downarrow,-leftcontrol hammer_move_down 0.1
• bind uparrow,-leftcontrol hammer_move_up 0.1
• bind downarrow,leftcontrol hammer_move_backward 0.1
• bind uparrow,leftcontrol hammer_move_forward 0.1

You can also use another modifier key for a bigger offset:

• bind rightarrow,-leftalt hammer_move_right 0.1
• bind leftarrow,-leftalt hammer_move_left 0.1
• bind downarrow,-leftalt,-leftcontrol hammer_move_down 0.1
• bind uparrow,-leftalt,-leftcontrol hammer_move_up 0.1
• bind downarrow,-leftalt,leftcontrol hammer_move_backward 0.1
• bind uparrow,-leftalt,leftcontrol hammer_move_forward 0.1
• bind rightarrow,leftalt hammer_move_right 1
• bind leftarrow,leftalt hammer_move_left 1
• bind downarrow,leftalt,-leftcontrol hammer_move_down 1
• bind uparrow,leftalt,-leftcontrol hammer_move_up 1
• bind downarrow,leftalt,leftcontrol hammer_move_backward 1
• bind uparrow,leftalt,leftcontrol hammer_move_forward 1

Building

Hammer configuration applies to all building, including the standard structures selected from the build menu.

When selecting an existing object, its size and rotation is copied to the placement tool. If "Copy rotation" is disabled then the selection tool keeps the last rotation. The last rotation is always used when using the build window.

Object scaling only works for some objects (mostly trees and rocks). This is restricted by the base game (scaling is not stored in the save file).

If "Overwrite health" is enabled, objects have a specified health (including creatures). For minerocks, the health is applied to the individual parts (the outer shell stays at 1 health). Repairing can be used to modify the shell health if needed.

Setting a very high health (like "1E30") can be used to make object indestructible because the damage taken is rounded down to zero. This also prevents structures collapsing from lack of support.

For creatures, the max health resets when the area is reloaded if the current health equals the max health. For this reason, the current health is set slightly higher than the max health.

"Copy state" only applies when selecting existing objects since structures from the build menu are stateless. However the creator ID is always set based on the "No creator" setting, even for non-standard structures.

"No creator" is currently quite pointless since most structures ignore the value and will get targeted by the enemies regardless of the value. But maybe someone can find some use for it.

Locations (Points of Interest) can also be copied. However only static parts are included in the actual location. For example in the start temple, each boss stone is a separate object and can be copied separately if needed.

Repairing

By default, only change is that the UI shows how much damage was repaired.

If "Repair anything" is enabled, most destructible objects can be repaired or healed. This includes creatures and players.

For minerocks, if the targeted part is already at full health, a random part is restored instead. This is not very practical but can be used to restore any accidental changes to minerocks.

If "Overwrite health" is enabled, the object is repaired or damaged to the specified health value.

For creatures, the maximum health value is also set. So they will keep their max health even when disabling "Overwrite health". Other objects will revert to the original max health when repaired.

Unfortunately, the max health resets when the area is reloaded if the current health equals the max health. For this reason, the current health is set slightly higher than the max health.

Destroying

By default, destroying only works for standard structures and placed objects. Placed objects can only be removed temporarily since the required information is lost when the area is reloaded.

If "Destroy anything" is enabled, all objects can be removed.

If "Disable loot" is enabled, destroying creatures or structures won't drop loot. This can be useful to get rid of very high starred creatures that crash the game when killed.

Blacklist can be used to avoid destroying critical objects like locations. For example hammer_config remove_blacklist LocationProxy.
