# 2: the Valheim Plus mod from nX
This mod adds even more functionality to your building, allowing you to modify / reposition / edit items you have already placed, giving you much more control over customizing your home base. A perfect mod for builders who want more control than they will find in the base game. Here is a quick list of all the main features. It goes way beyond simple construction.
- The advanced construction mode allows you to reposition / rotate the objects you have placed.
- Edit / modify the values of most of the main elements. Change weight values, reduce item weight, increase stack size, etc.
- Remove “Invalid building location” restrictions and deteriorating weather conditions.
- Change the production / output speed of the beehive, fermenter, oven and any other item.

# 3: AdvancedBuildingMod d’AkaRyu
This mod allows you to save and load your creations in. If you want to save a model for future worlds, or if you want to share your builds with friends (or anyone) online, this mod is the perfect solution. The developer even set up a discord for sharing builds here.
Right now the mod is a bit janky but fully functional. You can use console commands to generate a .vbuild file, which you can then share with other players and use more commands to appear in your map. The map will automatically terraform the terrain when loading the creation, and you can use more controls to see the “bubble” radius of your save.
It's a complicated little mod, get more instructions on the Steam guide here.
# 4: CallMeSlinky Freefly Mod
Perfect for video editors looking to capture panoramic photos of their builds, the Freefly Mod gives you full and easy access to hover plans.
Normally in Valheim you can cheat to fly in the sky and get some great views / screenshots, but it's limited to single player mode, and you have to activate the cheats for that to happen. This mod cuts all of that and lets you get hover photos even in multiplayer.
# 5: CR_Crossplay character customization mod
Here is a simple one. This mod allows you to change your character's hair / beard after creation. This is something no other mod on our list does, and it's something longtime gamers are going to ask for after 50+ hours with the same dirty Viking beard.
