BepInEx pack for Valheim. Preconfigured with the correct entry point for mods and preferred defaults for the community.
Preferred version: 5.4.2351README
Valheim Auto Sort Chests
BepInEx mod for Valheim that adds a Sort button to every container (chest) window, between the game's own "Take all" and "Place stacks" buttons.
Clicking it:
- Merges identical item stacks into as few stacks as possible (same rule the game itself uses to decide if two items can stack).
- Lays out the remaining items in a consistent order: by item type, then alphabetically by name.
Unofficial mod. This is a fan-made mod, not affiliated with or endorsed by Iron Gate. It marks your game as modded (the game shows this in the main menu), as Iron Gate asks mod authors to do.
Requirements
- Valheim (tested on 1.0.15)
- BepInEx 5.4.x
Installation (players)
- Install BepInEx for Valheim if you haven't already (see link above, or use r2modman).
- Download
AutoSortChests.dllfrom the latest release. - Drop it into
<Valheim install folder>\BepInEx\plugins\AutoSortChests\. - Launch the game and open any chest - you'll see the new "Sort" button.
Upgrading from 0.1.0: the DLL used to be called Mod3-AutoSortChests.dll.
Delete the old BepInEx\plugins\Mod3-AutoSortChests\ folder after installing
the new version (the mod keeps no data there).
Building from source
Requires the .NET 8 SDK (or newer) and a local Valheim install with BepInEx installed.
git clone https://github.com/Ab5oluteZer0/valheim-auto-sort-chests.git
cd valheim-auto-sort-chests
dotnet build -c Release -p:ValheimPath="C:\Path\To\Valheim"
If you don't pass -p:ValheimPath, the build looks for a VALHEIM_PATH
environment variable, then falls back to the default Steam location
(C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Valheim).
The build automatically copies the built DLL into
<Valheim>\BepInEx\plugins\AutoSortChests\ for quick in-game testing.
How it works
A Harmony postfix on InventoryGui.Awake clones the existing "Stack All"
button to create the new "Sort" button (same style, correctly anchored),
positioned between "Take All" and "Stack All". Sorting operates directly on
Inventory.GetAllItems() (the live internal list) and reassigns each item's
grid position - no reflection into private container internals needed beyond
one field lookup for the currently-open container.
