📋 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.

Features

  • []Toggleable immersive build camera[/]

    []Left and right shoulder peek[/]

    []Camera collision handling to reduce clipping into nearby objects[/]

    []Toggleable precision movement for slower placement adjustments[/]

    []Configurable keybinds[/]

    []Configurable FOV, near clip, shoulder offset, shoulder distance, and movement speed[/]

    []Client-side only[/]

    []Does not extend placement range[/]

    []Does not bypass workbench requirements[/]

    []Does not add freecam or remote building[/]

    Default Controls

    • []Toggle build camera = Left Alt[/]

      []Toggle precision movement = Left Control[/]

      []Left shoulder peek = Q[/]

      []Right shoulder peek = E[/]

      Keybinds can be changed in the config file after launching the game once.

      Config File

      After launching once, the config file is generated here:

      Installation: Mod Manager

      1. Install with mod manager (idk what else to say...)

        Compatibility

        Immersive Build Camera is a client-side camera and input mod.

        Known Compatible

        • []Vanilla Valheim with BepInExPack Valheim[/]

          []Most item, armor, creature, loot, crafting, and building-piece content mods[/]

          []Server-side mods, as long as the server allows client-side mods[/]

          Likely Compatible

          These should usually work because this mod does not modify items, recipes, crafting stations, pieces, placement range, world generation, damage, loot, enemies, or server RPC behavior:

          • []Jotunn-based content mods[/]

            []Custom building piece mods[/]

            []Crafting and inventory convenience mods[/]
