Valheim Unified

One BepInEx plugin for Valheim 1.0 that bundles the quality-of-life features that used to take a dozen separate mods: bigger stacks, a clock, faster portals, quick stack / restock / sort / store, favourites, a confirmed trash action, and crafting straight from nearby chests.

Every piece of UI this mod adds is cloned from Valheim's own inventory controls, so it looks like part of the game and follows the language you play in (Korean and English labels included).

Installation

With a mod manager (recommended) — r2modman, Thunderstore Mod Manager or Gale: search for ValheimUnified and install. BepInExPack_Valheim is pulled in automatically.

Manually — install BepInExPack_Valheim, then copy plugins/ValheimUnified/ValheimUnified.dll from this archive into Valheim/BepInEx/plugins/.

Works on Windows and macOS (Steam). Client-side: other players do not need the mod, but the crafting-from-chests and store actions only use chests you are allowed to open.

Features and hotkeys

Favourited slots and items are never quick-stacked, stored, sorted away or trashed. Favourites are saved with your character.

Crafting from chests pays from your backpack first and only takes the shortfall from chests. The requirement numbers in the crafting panel already include what your nearby chests hold.

Configuration

Edit BepInEx/config/com.xman0922.valheimunified.cfg (or use a config editor in your mod manager). Every feature has its own Enabled switch. Notable keys:

The equipment view follows AzuEPI's current layout: Valheim's crafting panel extends left into one continuous native wood frame, with eight equipment cells in a vertical column, a full-height rotatable character preview, three quick slots along the bottom, and Craft/Vanity/Loadouts/Stats buttons across the top. Inventory utility and trash controls stay with the separate player inventory. Controller navigation follows the same visible arrangement; hidden reserved cells are skipped.

Experimental and not yet included

• Shared map needs the mod on the server (or host) as well; it keeps the merged map in <world>.vu_map next to the world save.
• Multi-user chest access is included as an experimental, disabled-by-default option under Multi-user chests/Enabled. Back up the world first, then enable it only when the server and every client run the same Valheim Unified version.
• Lowering StackMultiplier or removing the mod can lose items that exceed the new stack limit. Split oversized stacks first.

The build uses a stripped, publicized compile-time reference generated from the locally installed Valheim assembly. Run scripts/prepare-publicized-reference.sh before a direct dotnet build; scripts/package.sh runs it automatically. The generated game reference is ignored by Git and is never included in packages.

Source and building

Thunderstore: https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/maizz/ValheimUnified/
Source: https://github.com/KYUHEON-LEE-94/valheim-unified. MIT licensed.

The project targets net472 and references the game's own assemblies. On a non-default Steam library, pass the Valheim directory explicitly:

dotnet build -c Release -p:ValheimDir="/path/to/Valheim"

scripts/package.sh produces the Thunderstore ZIP in dist/.

Automatic repair moved

Automatic repair at crafting stations is now its own mod, Unified Auto Repair (maizz-UnifiedAutoRepair, https://github.com/KYUHEON-LEE-94/valheim_autorepair). Valheim Unified 0.42.0 and later no longer repair by themselves; install that mod to keep the behaviour.

Target Portal moved

Portal destination selection, Public/Private modes, favourites and temporary map pins are now their own mod, Unified Target Portal (maizz-UnifiedTargetPortal, https://github.com/KYUHEON-LEE-94/valheim_targetportal). Valheim Unified 0.47.0 and later no longer provide those features; install the standalone mod on the host/server and clients that use the destination picker. Portal protection remains in Valheim Unified.
