Mod for building in ocean?
I'd like to create an ocean island to build on, but I can't seem to find a good publicly available mod that would either let me raise land in the ocean, or build directly on the water. I was thinking that Valheim storing the world as a heightmap might mean it'd be possible to extract that, set the height in a bit of ocean, repacking and reuploading to the dedicated server - but I didn't find any tool for that. Alternatively a mod with a super hoe that would work while I was on a boat would probably be fine, but again I can't find anything. Has anyone seen anything that would make this possible?
Thanks for any help!
Edit: combining some tips I ended up using
My Favorite Hoe https://www.nexusmods.com/valheim/mods/1078
Valheim Creative Mode https://www.nexusmods.com/valheim/mods/795
And a little Rune Magic https://www.nexusmods.com/valheim/mods/1359 (to revert some changes)
I used devcommands to turn on nocost / god / stamina / fly, then `spawn ship_construction` on a bit of the ocean I wanted to work on. Then I used the super hoe to raise a medium sized area (like 20x20 or something) several times until I had a circular island above the storm wave height, then I went to town. Rune Magic didn't work very well for getting a surface up, but its Restoration capability was nice for reverting my screwups. Props to everyone who responded :)

rare pro tip for you...
Using SkToolbox mod:
fly to middle of the ocean (press F5 and type /fly)
press F5 and type /spawn ship_construction
Wait 20 seconds for the ship to finish constructing and for physics to be enabled. Then delete the ship
You now have a pillar of land. You can make this pillar any height you want by flying to that height.
You might be able to do this with no mods at all, by using dev commands. But Ive never used those I always use sktoolbox its better.
It wont generate lag; it actually contributes as as much lag as pickaxing the ground once.
Amazing thank you
