PotatoHammer
Sorts the build hammer: every mod's pieces on a tab named after the mod, other mods' hammers folded in, and snap points added and plainly named where mods left them out. Client-side, works with any mod.Potato Hammer sorts Valheim's build hammer by mod and fixes snap points other mods left out or named badly. It only changes your own game, so the server and other players don't need it.
Every mod gets its own tab. Mods put their build pieces wherever they like: spread over the game's categories, in none, in the wrong one, or under each other's tabs. Potato Hammer moves each mod's hammer pieces to a tab named after the mod and leaves the game's own pieces where they are. It works with any mod, Jötunn-based or not, and each piece shows on its mod's tab only.
One hammer for everything. Pieces from other mods' own hammers (like Odin's Hammer from Odin Architect) are added to the hammer too, on their mod's tab. Their own hammer still works. The hoe, the cultivator and the serving tray are left alone.
Snap points where pieces need them. The game snaps pieces point to point, and plenty of mods' pieces have only one or two points, or none. Potato Hammer works out extra points from a piece's shape: its corners, the middle of its top and bottom edges, and its top and bottom centres.
- Mods' pieces with only one or two points of their own get them automatically. Modular Ladders' ladders, for example, can then sit flush against a wall or end level with a floor so you can step off.
- Any other piece, the game's own included: take out the hammer, look at a built one and press Ctrl + K (or type
snappointsin the console). Every piece of that kind gets points; press it again to take them away. - Nothing is saved into your world. Removing the mod puts every piece back as it was.
Snap points named by where they sit. When you cycle through snap points while building, the game shows each one's name, and many mods leave those as "_snappoint (5)" or "Left 1". Potato Hammer names them by their place on the piece instead: "Top front left corner", "Bottom back edge", "Left centre".
It's part of the PotatoClient pack for the Potato Server.
Settings
In BepInEx/config/potato.hammer.cfg, or in game with Configuration Manager. Tab changes take effect the next time you take out the hammer.
| Setting | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Sort the hammer | On | Off puts every piece back where its mod put it. |
| Include other hammers | On | Add the pieces from other mods' own hammers to the hammer, each on its mod's tab. |
| Mods to leave alone | Empty | Mods whose pieces stay where the mod put them (and whose own hammer stays separate), separated by commas. |
| Extra pieces | Empty | Pieces whose mod can't be told, put on a tab by name: piece=Tab, separated by commas. The log lists those pieces. |

| Automatic for mod pieces | On | Mods' pieces with only a few points of their own get them without asking. |

| Pick key | Ctrl + K | Look at a built piece with the hammer out and press this to give its kind snap points, or take them away. |
