Ultimate Builder
The ultimate toolkit for Valheim builders. Design your dream base in a huge flat world where every piece is free, then build it symmetrical in half the time, copy and paste whole buildings, swap a house to another wood in one click, and see exactly what it costs to build for real. Everything a builder wishes the hammer could do.
Make a new world named Creative and all of it is yours there. Every other world stays exactly as it is.
(Formerly Creative World: your settings and schematics carry over. Remove Creative World, it is no longer updated.)
Highlights
- A flat building world: a 1500 m circle of open, flat Meadows. No trees, rocks, grass, enemies, rain or fog.
- Build freely: every piece unlocked and free, no workbench needed, fly through everything, no damage, endless stamina.
- Mirror building: place one side, get the other side (or all four quarters) for free.
- Schematics: save any building, see it in your library with a picture, and paste it again anywhere, as a ghost preview first, as often as you like.
- Wood Swap: turn any wooden piece, or a whole building, into another wood: Ashwood to Timber in one click.
- Build Materials: one click shows every material a whole building costs, with the totals.
- Remove Building: clear a whole building (or a paste that went wrong) in two clicks.
All tools are in the hammer menu (Building tab, at the end; or type their name in the search), each with its own gold icon.
The creative world
- Flat ground around the spawn, all Meadows, easing back into the normal land over the edge.
- No trees, rocks, bushes or grass, and no ruins, dungeons or traders there (the spawn temple stays).
- Always day, no rain, no fog: you see your build clearly from far away. A slider sets any time of day or night (to check your lighting), and Page Up / Page Down move it an hour.
- No enemies and no animals: two switches, so you can let animals in (for pens and stables) or enemies (to test your walls).
You
- Every building piece unlocked and free, no workbench needed (crafting is free too).
- Fly: double-tap jump. Space up, Left Ctrl down, run to go faster. While flying you pass through the ground and buildings (the camera too), so you can look at your build from every side and from inside.
- No damage, endless stamina, tools never wear, and a hammer if you arrive without one.
- Nothing drops and no debris: removing a piece just makes it vanish, so the ground stays clean.
- Every piece in the hammer menu is shown in full colour.
Mirror building
With the hammer out:
- N on a building piece sets a mirror line through its middle or along its nearest edge, snapped to the building's grid (or N on two points on the ground). Every piece you place is then placed mirrored on the other side too, and removing a piece removes its twin.
- Alt+N sets a second line, e.g. across the first: every piece goes into all four quarters at once.
- Shift+N on a building copies the side (or quarter) you aim at to the others.
- Ctrl+N removes the lines. The lines are drawn while the hammer is out.
- Mirrored pieces really look mirrored: walls, floors and roofs are flipped, corner roofs across their diagonal, left and right triangle walls swap, sideways beams turn around.
Schematics: copy and paste whole buildings
- Save Schematic: click a building and give it a name. Every connected piece is saved, with a picture of the building.
- Schematics: your library, with every schematic's picture, piece count and size, and Place, Mirrored (the mirror image), Materials (what it costs to build for real) and Delete.
- After Place the building follows your aim as a light blue ghost. The scroll wheel turns it; aimed at a building it snaps onto that building's snap points (hold Left Alt to place it freely). A click pastes it, again and again; Shift + click opens the library to pick another one.
- Misplaced it? Undo paste in the library removes exactly that paste, even where it touches another building.
- The files are in
BepInEx/config/DigiCreative/Schematics(a.schematictext file and a.pngpicture each): share your designs with friends.
Wood Swap
One tool per wood: Wood, Log, Darkwood, Wood Iron, Ashwood, Scalewood, Timber, Decorated Timber.
- Pick a wood, click a wooden piece: it becomes the same shape in that wood, on exactly the same snap points, so everything around it still fits (an Ashwood Roof Cross 67° becomes the Timber Roof Cross 67°).
- Hold Left Shift: every piece of that wood in the building at once. With mirror lines, the mirrored side too.
- Beams, poles, walls, triangle walls, roof crosses, floors, doors, arches and dividers, and thatch roofs to shingles and back.
- Tip: paste a schematic, then Shift + click it with Wood Swap to have it in another wood.
Build Materials
Want to build your design in your real world? Click any piece of a building: a window shows every material the whole building costs, most first, with the totals, the total weight and the crafting stations it needs, and how many of each piece.
Remove Building
Click a building: every connected piece lights up and you see how many. Click it again within 5 seconds and it is gone, nothing drops. One click alone never removes anything.
More is coming

Notes
- Only in worlds with the set name, and only for a new world: trees, grass and locations are only left out where an area is generated for the first time.
- The ground is worked out live from the world generator, so nothing extra is stored in the save. Made for single player; in multiplayer everyone needs it, since every game works out the ground itself.
- Free building and crafting use the game's own no-cost mode, so the game marks what you make there as made for free (as with its devcommands). Use a separate character if that matters to you.
