Instant Collapses
Instantly collapses buildings once disconnected from the ground (easily tried on Fuling or player towers). No more hovering structures! Does not yet support terrain pieces (like Plains rocks).Instant Collapses Valheim Mod

Intro
This mod makes it so that if any part of a building COMPLETELY loses connection to the terrain/ground/terrain objects, it is instantly destroyed. This alters the dynamics of the game a fair bit, and makes it more important how you build your own structures. Also having structures floating in the sky that you're trying to destroy was kinda frustrating and this mod fixes that.
Installation
Standard mod installation: you need to extract the DLL into your Valheim BepInEx plugins folder.
Limitations
Only tested in singleplayer yet. It "should" work in multiplayer as each player handles the pieces of the world they currently "own", but remains to be tested in practice.
Beware that this mod can more quickly destroy buildings in your game world, especially if there would be a bug, so maybe don't use it if you're extremely careful about your particular world.
Currently this mod does not handle cloven terrain objects. For instance, when you dig under one of those large boulders/rocks on the Plains, where logically something would happen rather than the rock floating idly in the sky.
By design, the collapse algorithm uses the regular Valheim check if a piece is connected to another, and it is very exact about it, which means that you can have the tip of a small slice of terrain or e.g. a log supporting the whole structure without problems. However, the regular Valheim structural integrity checks still happen, so the building can start collapsing logically anyway as you dig into it.
