Immersive Build Camera is a lightweight Valheim mod that improves building by giving the player a closer, smoother, and more controllable camera while using build tools.
It is designed to improve building comfort and precision without turning Valheim into a freecam editor, creative-mode tool, or placement cheat mod.
| Action | Default key |

Mouse wheel is intentionally reserved for Valheim's normal build-piece rotation behavior.
Install with a mod manager, or place ImmersiveBuildCamera.dll in:
Valheim/BepInEx/plugins/ImmersiveBuildCamera/
Launch the game once to generate the config file.
If the mod behaves strangely after updating, back up and delete the old config file, then launch the game once to regenerate it.
Older config files may still contain scroll-related entries. Current builds use dedicated camera distance keys and do not use mouse wheel camera distance control.
Potential compatibility issues may occur with mods that also patch player camera behavior, build mode input, player movement speed, or local player rendering.
