Building Caves
Im not sure if this will require too much work to do, but one thing I find myself constantly wishing for is the ability to dig horizontally underneath surface terrain, and maybe finding a new ore in a mineshaft or cave

Mharr is spot on. The reason we can do that kind of horizontal digging in games like Minecraft is because they were written from line 0 for it to be possible. Valhiem wasn't.

I'm with the OP that it would be awesome to be able to dig tunnels and such, but I've got enough programming background to spot when a game just isn't capable of doing something without a complete rewrite, and Valheim is one of those when it comes to digging tunnels.

Best we could do is a method for moving big flat rocks into place as a roof.

A modder with more knowledge on the game than me could probably add buildable "dirt blobs" like the ore/rock veins

I haven't played with them but there are building mods that allow various rotations of pieces and add rocks and things to the hammer menu. It's probably easy enough to combine the two.

A brand new mod just popped up on nexus and does exactly this! I was pleasantly surprised yesterday to find it
Could I trouble you for the name of said mod?

Didn't know about till you mentioned it, thanks for the lead :)

If you like snap grides you migh also like a farming grid mod that always plants seeds far enough apart and in a neat grid. I find it very useful.
