# 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

- 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.

- 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.
