ValheimUtils

AI generated. This mod is written by an AI (Claude) under human direction and testing.

Quality-of-life tweaks for Valheim. Every feature has its own switch in BepInEx/config/mh.ValheimUtilsByAi.cfg (generated on first launch). Each feature states whether it runs on the client, the server, or both.

Features

Craft without roof ([Crafting] CraftWithoutRoof, default: on)

The vanilla game refuses to open a workbench, forge or any other crafting station that is not under a roof or is "too exposed". This removes that check. Everything else is untouched: a forge still needs fire, stations still need their extensions in range, build pieces still need a station nearby.

Side: Client. Other players do not need the mod. Works on vanilla servers.

Kiln wood filter ([Crafting] KilnWoodFilter, default: on)

The charcoal kiln only accepts the wood types listed in [Crafting] KilnAllowedWood (comma-separated item prefab names, default: Wood). Any other wood is refused with the vanilla "won't work" message, and pressing E with only unlisted wood in the inventory says there is nothing to process. Smelters and blast furnaces are untouched. Vanilla kiln wood: Wood, FineWood, RoundLog, Blackwood.

Side: Client. Only players running the mod are restricted; a player without it can still add any wood.
