DFG QoL

The ultimate quality-of-life enhancements for Valheim! DFG QoL streamlines inventory management, production automation, equipment handling, and settlement organization while preserving vanilla game balance.

A Valheim BepInEx 5 plugin built on Jotunn.

Features

• Smart Inventory Sorting:
  • One-click sort button cleanly organizes player inventory and chests.
  • Hotbar preservation: your hotbar (row 0) stays completely untouched.
  • Equipped items and quest items are protected.
  • Partial stack merging respects stack limits without spilling.
• Favorite & Slot Pinning:
  • Alt+Click any item or empty slot to pin it. Pinned slots and favorite items are never moved, swapped, or merged during sorting.
• Deposit to Nearby Chests:
  • Quickly dump matching items from your inventory into nearby storage containers with a single click.
• Production Cache (Custom 3D Model):
  • Adds the buildable Production Cache container with a custom hand-carved Norse model and textures.
  • Place near Smelters, Blast Furnaces, and Charcoal Kilns to automatically feed ore and fuel as needed.
• Smooth Player Movement:
  • Subtle quality movement tweaks for fluid exploration.
• Chat & Connection Logging:
  • Clean server and player connection records.

Changelog

All notable changes to DFG QoL.

0.3.2

• World status reporting posts chat, deaths, logins, and boss events to dfgaming.net/status. It stays off until EnableEventReporting is turned on, and it sends nothing without the token from that page after you log in.
• Events are filed under the Valheim world name.

0.3.1

• Inventory buttons rebuilt as a row beneath the inventory grid: Fav Item, Fav Slot, Sort and To Vault, cloned from the vanilla Take All button.
• Player inventory rows configurable from 4 to 8, resizing the backpack and the inventory window and migrating saved equipment and quick rows on load.
• Container spacing fixes a layout collision: vanilla expands the inventory panel downwards but leaves the chest panel at a hardcoded position sized for 4 rows, so with 5+ rows the chest window overlapped the last row and the new buttons. The chest panel is now shifted dynamically.
• To Vault deposits carried items into the nearest Viking Vault, strictly skipping equipped items, hotbar items, favourited slots and quest items.
• Both button layouts are tunable in-game from a web GUI with a live preview, plus a live Vault transfer layout GUI for the Production Cache.

0.3.0

• Smart inventory sorting with favorite item pinning (Alt+Click to pin items/slots).
• Hotbar isolation (row 0 untouched by inventory sorting).
• Vault and chest auto-deposit features.
• Custom Production Cache 3D model with automatic ore/fuel replenishment for kilns, smelters, and blast furnaces.
• Equipment and quick slots integration.
• Smooth camera movement and enhanced chat logging.

0.2.0

• Automated production caching and nearby container hauling.
• Configurable sorting algorithms and merge rules.

0.1.0

• Initial release with inventory sorting foundation.
