Version checks with itself. If installed on the server, it will kick clients who do not have it installed.

This mod uses ServerSync, if installed on the server and all clients, it will sync all configs to client

This mod uses a file watcher. If the configuration file is not changed with BepInEx Configuration manager, but changed in the file directly on the server, upon file save, it will sync the changes to all clients.

Fork from Build Camera (CookieMilk's version specifically)

Usage

1. Equip your hammer,
2. Go within build range of a build station (e.g. a workbench),
3. Press B (default - can be changed in config) to activate the build camera.
4. The camera is now disconnected from your avatar. Look around and move as usual (e.g. using mouse and keyboard); use jump (Space) to go up and stealth (Control) to go down. Hold run (Shift) to move the camera faster. Gamepad users: left trigger and right trigger move the camera up and down. Right joystick turns the camera. Left joystick pans the camera left, right, forward, and backward.
5. Build (left click) and choose items to build (right click) as usual.

Other details

• Build Camera uses its own configurable station range. It does not expand workbench effect areas or suppress raids outside the station's real player-base radius.
• The camera cannot cross terrain. HearthBelow cave floors, walls, and ceilings use the same collision path.
• Camera entry or camera item pickup can require coziness and a minimum comfort level.
• An equipped Dvergr circlet can follow the detached camera, including CircletExtended and RaziCirclet custom slots. The camera copy keeps the equipped light's settings unless its config overrides them.
• Blocked pickups use a configurable HUD panel with Valheim's font and build-menu styling.
• Deactivate build mode by unequipping the hammer or pressing B or R (the keybind for "hide" weapons).
• Also works with the hoe and the cultivator.
• The camera must stay within the build area, although the range is configurable with Camera_Range_Multiplier.

Installation

1. Install BepInEx for Valheim
2. Place BuildCameraCHE.dll in your BepInEx plugins directory, like this: Steam\steamapps\common\Valheim\BepInEx\plugins\BuildCameraCHE.dll.

• I've been told Build Camera is compatible with with kailen37's FirstPerson mod on nexusmods.com. I haven't tested it myself.
