Requirements

BepInExPack Valheim
Jotunn

Installation

Thunderstore / r2modman

Install using a Thunderstore-compatible mod manager such as r2modman.

Multiplayer

This mod has been tested in single-player.

The waterproof pieces themselves should synchronize normally because they are registered through Jotunn and use standard Valheim building systems.

For multiplayer, installing the mod on both the server and all clients is recommended.

Compatibility

Uses Jotunn for prefab and piece registration
Harmony patching
Waterproof variants are separate prefabs and do not modify vanilla assets directly
Extended-range functionality only applies to waterproof pieces
Vanilla pieces retain normal placement and interaction distances

Notes

Only buildable pieces are affected
Existing vanilla pieces are unchanged
Safe to add to an existing world
Waterproof pieces are separate prefabs and do not replace vanilla pieces
Removing the mod may leave placed waterproof pieces unavailable or non-interactable
