Black Metal Buildables is a small Valheim mod that adds black metal variants of vanilla iron building pieces.
The current implementation clones existing Valheim iron build-piece prefabs, changes their gameplay metadata, registers them in the Hammer build menu, and applies a lightweight runtime material tint so they read as black metal without custom meshes, textures, icons, or Unity asset bundles.

How I used AI:
From the repo root:
dotnet build .\src\BlackMetalBuildables.csproj
Build output:
src\bin\Debug\net472\BlackMetalBuildables.dll
This repo intentionally does not auto-deploy into a mod profile.
After building, copy:
src\bin\Debug\net472\BlackMetalBuildables.dll
into a BepInEx plugins folder. Then launch Valheim with that profile.
