ValheimCreate
A Valheim mod that removes resource costs for structural building pieces while leaving all other gameplay mechanics intact.
What It Does
Valheim's built-in "free build" debug mode removes costs for everything — including boats, crafting stations, fires, and other progression items. ValheimCreate targets only the two structural build tabs:
| Tab | Examples |
|---|---|
| Building | Wood walls, floors, roofs, beams, doors |
| Heavy Build | Stone, iron, ashstone, and marble structural pieces |
All other tabs (Misc, Crafting, Furniture, Feasts, Food, Meads) retain their normal material costs. Exploration and progression mechanics are unchanged — you still need to find materials to unlock recipes.
Free Removal
Pieces placed via free build can also be removed without a crafting station nearby. Only pieces you placed are affected — world-generated structures still require a workbench to remove as normal. No resources are returned when removing a free-built piece.
Extra Free Pieces
An in-game panel lets you individually enable free building for specific pieces outside the two main tabs. Open it via the Free Build Piece Selection button, which appears at the bottom of the build menu when the hammer's piece grid is open.
Currently supported extra pieces:
| Piece | Default |
|---|---|
| Standing Wood Torch | Off |
| Stake Wall | Off |
Enabled extra pieces follow the same rules as the main categories — free to place, free to remove without a crafting station, no resources returned on removal.
Requirements
Optional but recommended for in-game config:
Installation
Install via Thunderstore Mod Manager (recommended), or manually:
- Install BepInExPack if not already installed
- Install Jotunn if not already installed
- Drop
ValheimCreate.dllintoBepInEx/plugins/ValheimCreate/

run. If you have Configuration Manager installed, press F1 in-game to adjust
settings without restarting.
Notes
- Multiplayer: all players on the server must have this mod installed
- Recipe discovery still works normally — you need to find materials to unlock new pieces; you just don't consume them when placing
