Bend the rules of building! Copy any object, make structures indestructible, remove all restrictions, destroy anything and more...
Client-side mod that is compatible with unmodded clients.
Check any modding guide for installation instructions.
Install Server Devcommands to enable key binds and use this on a server (as an admin).
The main feature of this mod is the ability to build any object with the hammer.
This is done by using the hammer console command which works in four ways:
hammer: Selects (and copies) the hovered object.hammer [object id]: Selects an object by id (Item IDs).hammer connect: Selects the hovered building.hammer [number]: Selects all objects within a radius.Selecting the hovered object can be quickly done by pressing NumPad5. Holding alt key will select the entire building.
The hammer build menu also contains Pipette and Area select tools.
The hammer command has following extra parameters which allow modifying the selected objects:
scale=number or scale=x,z,y: Overrides the size (if the object can be scaled).health=number: Overrides the health.text=string: Overrides the sign text.level=number: Overrides the creature level (stars + 1).stars=number: Overrides the creature stars (level - 1).from=x,z,y: Overrides the player position when doing area selection.For example hammer Beech1 scale=2 health=1000 would select a beech tree with a double size and 1000 health.
Shift + mouse wheel will scale up/down the selection.
This can be also done with following commands:
hammer_scale build: Resets the scale to 100%.hammer_scale build [percentage or amount]: Scales the size.hammer_scale_x build [percentage or amount]: Scales only the x-axis.hammer_scale_y build [percentage or amount]: Scales only the y-axis.hammer_scale_z build [percentage or amount]: Scales only the z-axis.For example hammer_scale build 5% would scale from 100 % to 105 % or 200 % to 210 %. While hammer_scale build -5% would scale from 100 % to 95.2 % or 200 % to 190.5 %.
For example hammer_scale build 0.1 would scale from 100 % to 110 % or 200 % to 210 %. While hammer_scale build -0.1% would scale from 100 % to 90 % or 200 % to 190 %.
Note: If you notice using these commands frequency, make a key binding for them.
Locations (or Points of Interests) usually include multiple objects so copying them with the hammer command is not simple.
They also have special behavior like random parts or random damage.
That's why there is another command for creating them: hammer_location [location_id] [seed=0] [random damage]
The seed parameter can be used to set the random parts. If missing or 0, then the result is randomized. If set to all then all parts are forced to be on which allows building complete locations (which are normally very rare).
By the default, the location doesn't get randomly damaged. To set this on, put any value to the fourth parameter.
For example:
hammer_location StoneTowerRuins04 creates a stone fortress with random parts (which change when using the command again).hammer_location StoneTowerRuins04 100 creates a stone fortress with some parts (always the same).hammer_location StoneTowerRuins04 all creates a stone fortress with all parts.hammer_location StoneTowerRuins04 0 1 creates a stone fortress with random parts and random damage.Default key bindings allow freezing the placement by pressing NumPad0. This allows moving around while the placement ghost stays in the same place.
Then the placement can be fine tuned with following keys:
Holding alt key will move by 1 meter instead of 0.1 meters.
Note: Placement keys also work without freezing.
Following commands exist for this:
hammer_move [forward,up,right]: Moves the placement ghost offset for precise placement. Auto value can be used for the object size.hammer_move_backward [meters or number*auto]: Moves the placement towards the backward direction.hammer_move_down [meters or number*auto]: Moves the placement towards the down direction.hammer_move_forward [meters or number*auto]: Moves the placement towards the forward direction.hammer_move_left [meters or number*auto]: Moves the placement towards the left direction.hammer_move_right [meters or number*auto]: Moves the placement towards right left direction.hammer_move_up [meters or number*auto]: Moves the placement towards the up direction.hammer_offset [forward,up,right]: Sets the placement ghost offset.hammer_offset_x [value]: Sets the offset in the right / left direction.hammer_offset_y [value]: Sets the offset in the up / down direction.hammer_offset_z [value]: Sets the offset in the forward / backward direction.Requires installing either Comfy Gizmo or Gizmo Reloaded. Check their documentation how to use them if needed.
For basic usage that is all you need but extra commands are provided for advanced usage.
Fine-tuning the rotation:
hammer_rotate_x [degrees]hammer_rotate_y [degrees]hammer_rotate_z [degrees]Random rotation (90 or 180 degrees depending on the object shape)
hammer_rotate_x randomhammer_rotate_y randomhammer_rotate_z randomRandom rotation with custom precision.
hammer_rotate_x [number]*randomhammer_rotate_y [number]*randomhammer_rotate_z [number]*randomFor example 3*random would randomly rotate 0, 120 or 240 degrees.
Building and removing objects can be quickly reversed by pressing NumPad7. Reversed actions can be redone with NumPad9.
Note: Any other removal like buildings collapsing due to lack of support or destroyed by enemies is not tracked. Only your direct actions can be undone.
Internally this is done by using commands hammer_undo and hammer_redo.
If Server Devcommands mod is installed, this integrates with its undo system (unless overridden in the config). So commmands undo and redo would also work.
Objects can be placed multiple times in a row with the command:
hammer_stack_[direction] [amount or min-max] [step=auto]Possible directions are backward, down, forward,left, right and up.
The amount simply determines how many objects are placed. This can be fine-tuned by giving a range.
The step sets the distance between placed objects. By default this is the size of the object.
Note: Choosing the correction direction can be difficult when rotating the selection. But you can easily try things by reverting the changes with hammer_undo.
Note: Determining the size of the object is not fully reliable. Be prepared to give the distance manually.
Examples:
hammer_stack_up 10: Places 10 objects on top of each other.hammer_stack_up -5-4: Places 10 objects with 5 below and 4 on top of the main object.hammer_stack_left 5 10: Places 5 objects with 10 meters between each of them.hammer_stack_left 5 2*auto: Places 5 objects while leaving a gap between them (equal to the object size).hammer_stack_left 3-4: Places 2 objects some distance away from the selected position.To place objects in a rectangle or a box, use the following command:
hammer_stack [forward,up,right or z1-z2,y1-y2,x1-x2] [step=auto,auto,auto]Basic support is provided for BuildShare .vbuild and PlanBuild .blueprint files.
The command hammer_blueprint [file name] allows placing them. If no files are found, configure the source folder.
New PlanBuild blueprints can also be created with hammer_save [file name] command.
Note: Infinity Hammer will also store the object data when creating blueprints. This can significantly increase the file size and cause incompatibility with future PlanBuild versions.
Some special commands exist for advaced cases. Usually you want to bind these.
hammer_grid [precision] [center=current]: Restricts possible placement coordinates. Using the same command removes the restriction.hammer_place: Allows placing with a key press.hammer_repair: Selects the repair tool for quickly clearing the selection.hammer_mirror: Mirrors the selection.hammer_add_piece_components: Adds the Piece component to every object which allows copying them with PlanBuild mod.For example with Server Devcommands you could bind command hammer_rotate_y random;hammer_place to build objects with a random rotation.
The hammer (and hoe) can execute any console commands, which provides a quick and an intuitive way to use them. These commands can be found at the build menu with a configurable position.
Unfortunately adding new commands won't be that simple. Probably the easiest way is editing the config directly. That way you can see how the default commands are done.
Commands also exist for this:
hammer_add [command] or hoe_add [command]: Adds a new command. Useful for sharing commands with other players.hammer_list [index to clipboard] or hoe_list [index to clipboard]: Prints added commmand and their index numbers. If indes is given, copies to the command to the clipboard for easier sharing.hammer_remove [index] or hoe_remove [index]: Removes the command with the given index.hammer_remove [command] or hoe_remove [command]: Removes all commands that start with the given parameter.For example hammer_add killall would add a new item to the hammer menu that killed all nearby creatures when clicked.
By default all added commands have name "Command" and have the command as the description.
This can be customized with parameters cmd_name, cmd_desc and cmd_icon. Valid icons are object ids, skill ids and status effect ids.
For example hammer_add cmd_name=Kill cmd_desc=Kills_everything cmd_icon=softdeath killall
Some commands have coordinates as their parameters. These can be set with hammer/hoe by using commands hammer_command or hoe_command.
For example using hammer_command hammer 10 from=x,z,y would select every object within 10 meters of the hovered position.
The radius can be modified by using shift + mousewheel, when using hammer_command hammer r from=x,z,y (10 changed to r). This also makes the mod highlight the affected area!
This command can be added to the menu with hammer_add hammer_command hammer r from=x,z,y. It's recommended to always test commands first before adding them.
The full potential of commands can be unlocked by installing World Edit Commands mod. This automatically adds new commands to the hoe (mainly for terrain modifications).
Full list of parameters:
x: X coordinate.y: Y coordinate.z: Z coordinate.a: Angle. Mostly matters for rectangles.r: Radius. Enables circle shape.w: Rectangle width. Enables square shape.d: Rectangle depth. Enables rectangle shape.h: Height.For example hoe_command terrain from=x,z,y circle=r rect=w,d angle=a raise=h raises terrain by a variable height.
To reduce typing, use aliases hoe_terrain and hoe_object. For example hoe_terrain raise=h or hoe_object tame.
Key binds to change values:
hammer_shape command).The current values are shared between different commands. For example if you changed radius to 20 while leveling then the radius would still be 20 when switching to the raise command.
It's possible to restrict the starting value with parameters cmd_r, cmd_w, cmd_d and cmd_h. This is generally not recommended (unless you really need it).
For example hoe_object tame cmd_r=10-20 would restrict the starting radius between 10 and 20 meters. If the radius was 15 it would stay at 15. But a radius of 5 would become 10 and a radius of 50 would become 20.

Messages from the mod can be configured with following settings:
chat_output: Sends messages to the chat window (when using binds or commands in the chat window).disable_messages: Disables all messages from the mod (console output not affected).disable_offset_messages: Disables messages from changing the placement offset.disable_scale_messages: Disables messages from changing the object scale.disable_select_messages: Disables messages from selecting objects.Some commonly used features have pre-made key binds in the configuration. Internally these use the bind command.
This means that Server Devcommands mod is needed for multi-key binds or for using the mouse wheel.
If you don't wish to use this system you can set all binds to none and make your own bindings with the bind command.
Binds can also be shared with others with the custom_binds setting but this isn't really recommended.
The format is keycode1 command1;keycode2 command2. For example keypad0 hammer;keypad7 hammer_undo;keypad9 hammer_redo.
Hammer configuration applies to all building, including the standard structures selected from the build menu.
When selecting an existing object, its size and rotation is copied to the placement tool. If "Copy rotation" is disabled then the selection tool keeps the last rotation. The last rotation is always used when using the build window.
Object scaling only works for some objects (mostly trees and rocks). This is restricted by the base game (scaling is not stored in the save file).
If "Overwrite health" is enabled, objects have a specified health (including creatures). For minerocks, the health is applied to the individual parts (the outer shell stays at 1 health). Repairing can be used to modify the shell health if needed.
Setting a very high health (like "1E30") can be used to make object indestructible because the damage taken is rounded down to zero. This also prevents structures collapsing from lack of support.
For creatures, the max health resets when the area is reloaded if the current health equals the max health. For this reason, the current health is set slightly higher than the max health.
"Copy state" only applies when selecting existing objects since structures from the build menu are stateless. However the creator ID is always set based on the "No creator" setting, even for non-standard structures.
"No creator" is currently quite pointless since most structures ignore the value and will get targeted by the enemies regardless of the value. But maybe someone can find some use for it.
Locations (Points of Interest) can also be copied. However only static parts are included in the actual location. For example in the start temple, each boss stone is a separate object and can be copied separately if needed.
By default, only change is that the UI shows how much damage was repaired.
If "Repair anything" is enabled, most destructible objects can be repaired or healed. This includes creatures and players.
For minerocks, if the targeted part is already at full health, a random part is restored instead. This is not very practical but can be used to restore any accidental changes to minerocks.
If "Overwrite health" is enabled, the object is repaired or damaged to the specified health value.
For creatures, the maximum health value is also set. So they will keep their max health even when disabling "Overwrite health". Other objects will revert to the original max health when repaired.
Unfortunately, the max health resets when the area is reloaded if the current health equals the max health. For this reason, the current health is set slightly higher than the max health.
By default, destroying only works for standard structures and placed objects. Placed objects can only be removed temporarily since the required information is lost when the area is reloaded.
If "Destroy anything" is enabled, all objects can be removed.
If "Disable loot" is enabled, destroying creatures or structures won't drop loot. This can be useful to get rid of very high starred creatures that crash the game when killed.
Blacklist can be used to avoid destroying critical objects like locations. For example hammer_config remove_blacklist LocationProxy.
