BepInEx pack for Valheim. Preconfigured with the correct entry point for mods and preferred defaults for the community.
Preferred version: 5.4.2350README
Chest Items Hover Display
Look at a chest, a cart or an armor stand. See what is in it.
When your crosshair lands on a container, a small panel shows every item in its real grid cell: the same icons, stack counts, durability bars and quality as in the chest window. Nothing opens, nothing is clicked.
What it does
- Chests: the grid mirrors the chest (4x2, 6x3, 8x4...), items where they really are, empty cells visible, the
chest's name and how full it is on top (e.g.
8/15). - Carts: hover the cargo or the cart body.
- Armor stands: what hangs on it, in one row.
- Live: the panel changes as soon as someone puts items in or takes them out.
- Private chests and wards: a chest you could not open stays hidden, and hovering never makes a ward flash.
- Hidden while the inventory, map, menu or any other window is open.
- Big chests from other mods shrink to fit the screen.
Installation
Client only. The server does not need it, and neither do the other players. It only reads what your game already knows and writes nothing.
- Mod manager: install it, launch the game through the manager.
- By hand: install BepInExPack Valheim, then put
CDEV.ChestItemsHoverDisplay.dllintoBepInEx/plugins/CDEV.ChestItemsHoverDisplay/. Coming from 0.3.1 or older installed by hand: delete the oldBepInEx/plugins/CDEV.ChestItemsHoverDisplay.dllfirst.
To uninstall, remove the mod (or that folder).

Good to know
- Works with HUD editors such as BetterUI: they can move and scale the panel, and
Positionstill works. - Chests from other mods show as long as they use the game's own container.
- Valheim 1.0, BepInEx 5.4.23.
