README

Storage Sign

A buildable sign that shows exactly what's inside the chests around it, plus a full storage overview GUI to manage all those chests in one place. Build a sign near your storage room and never play "which chest did I put it in?" again.

A Valheim BepInEx 5 plugin built on Jotunn.

Features

  • Storage Sign build piece (Hammer > Misc), 5x Wood — the vanilla text editor never opens; instead the sign face shows a live summary: N chests and the top items as name: count.
  • Overview GUI: interact with the sign (E) or press Alt+O to open a full-screen view of every chest within range — item and chest lists, with actions:
    • Sort Name / Type / Count — re-sort the item list.
    • Sort All — re-sort each chest's inventory.
    • Consolidate — merge partial stacks across chests.
    • Quick Stack — pull matching items from your inventory into the chests.
    • Move — move all stacks of a selected item into a selected chest.

Requirements

  • BepInEx 5 (denikson-BepInExPack_Valheim)
  • Jotunn 2.30.x (ValheimModding-Jotunn)

Installation

  1. Install through your mod manager (recommended).
  2. Manual: drop StorageSign.dll into BepInEx\plugins\.

How to use

  1. Restart the game after installing (the build piece is registered at startup).
  2. Build a Storage Sign (Hammer > Misc) and place it near your chests.
  3. The sign face continuously summarizes the nearest chests (up to SignRange m away).
  4. Interact with the sign (E) — or press Alt+O to open the nearest sign's overview — to see all items and chests in range.
  5. Use Sort, Consolidate, Quick Stack, or select an item + chest and press Move. Esc closes the GUI.

Configuration

Generated on first launch at BepInEx\config\com.storagesign.storagesign.cfg:

Section Key Default Description
General Enabled true Master toggle.
General AddBuildPiece true Register the piece (restart).
General SignRange 12 Chest scan radius around a sign (m).
General RefreshInterval 3 Seconds between sign-face refreshes.
General SignMaxLines 6 Item lines shown on the sign face.
General SortMode Name Default sort (Name/Type/Count).
Controls OpenHotkey Alt+O Open the overview for the nearest sign.

Notes

  • Ownership: Quick Stack uses the vanilla Container.StackAll() RPC (server-safe, no ownership needed). Sort/Consolidate/Move claim chest ownership locally — chests that can't be claimed are skipped and reported. This deliberately bypasses ward/guard-stone access checks (it's a personal organizing tool).
  • The vanilla sign text editor does not open on this piece (its Sign component is removed on purpose).
  • Must be installed on both server and clients (Jotunn piece sync).
