Vanilla Inventory Plus

Vanilla Inventory Plus adds configurable, vanilla-style inventory quality-of-life tools to Valheim without turning the inventory UI into a completely different interface.

Features

Container Tools

• Sort container contents by Name, Weight, or Type
• Stack All with additional stack consolidation
• Optional compact horizontal toolbar for DownLeft and DownRight
• Configurable toolbar position, spacing, X/Y offsets, and icon tint
• Optional hiding of the original vanilla Stack All / Take All buttons

Player Inventory Tools

• Sort the player inventory by Name, Weight, or Type
• Sorting keeps the hotbar untouched
• Partial stacks are consolidated before sorting
• Compact vanilla-style inventory toolbar
• Configurable left/right placement

Nearby Stash

• Moves matching items from the player inventory into nearby containers
• Only moves item types that are already present in the target chest
• Configurable search radius
• Optional hotbar protection
• Optional restriction to player-built containers
• Configurable hotkey
• Respects container access / ward restrictions
• Skips unsupported transport storage such as carts and ships

Extra Slots compatibility

Extra Slots is optional and is not required to use Vanilla Inventory Plus.

When Extra Slots is installed, Vanilla Inventory Plus uses its API to identify the normal player inventory area. Player sorting and Nearby Stash ignore Extra Slots' special / hidden slot storage.

If Extra Slots is detected but its inventory-area API cannot be read safely, the affected player-inventory operation is skipped instead of touching unknown slot storage.

Localization

Vanilla Inventory Plus currently includes:

• English
• Russian
• Serbian (Latin)
• Ukrainian
• German
• French
• Chinese (Simplified)
• Swedish

Configuration

Vanilla Inventory Plus uses the standard BepInEx configuration system.

The configuration file is created after the first game launch:

BepInEx/config/dellarion.valheim.vanillainventoryplus.cfg

Configuration includes:

• Container toolbar position and offsets
• Compact horizontal container buttons
• Button visibility
• Icon tint
• Player toolbar position
• Nearby Stash radius and hotkey

• Custom Take All display mode

An in-game BepInEx Configuration Manager can also be used if you already have one installed.
