📋 About This Mod
Immersive Build Camera is a client-side Valheim mod that improves building visibility without turning build mode into a free camera.
It adds a toggleable immersive build camera for players who want to build in survival while keeping the experience grounded. Instead of flying around with a detached camera, the view stays tied to the player and gives you better control in tight corners, roofs, interiors, beams, and awkward placement angles.
