StatusGroups

A tidy status bar, however many buffs you stack!

Three meads, rested, shelter, a guardian power, set bonuses, a few rites... and the top right of your screen turns into a wall of big icons and names.

StatusGroups shrinks the icons and sorts them into groups: buffs, cooldowns, negatives and passive effects. Pick the layout you like: small icons in a row per group, or one icon per group.

📸 Screenshots

40 statuses at once, still easy to read. Buffs, cooldowns and TempestRite's rites each get their own rows, marked by the icon on the right.

A normal day in the Plains: a few meads and your worn gear, one small row each.

Magic Barrier shows how much it can still take: damage left and its full strength, in red on top of the icon.

🧭 Features

• 🔹 Three layouts: Icons (small icons, a row per group), Stacked (one icon per group, with how many it holds and the time of the one ending first) or Vanilla (the game's own list).
• 🗂️ Four groups: Buffs, Cooldowns, Negatives and Passive, for the game's statuses and any mod's.
• 🏷️ Group icons: a mead bottle, an hourglass, a cracked shield and a campfire mark each group's row. Or pick any status's icon for it.
• 🎛️ Per group: show each group expanded, stacked or hidden, rename it and put the groups in any order. Longer groups go on top, and a group too long for one row is split evenly (6 and 5, not 10 and 1).
• 📏 Your size and text: icon size, statuses per row, names on or off, and the color and size of every text. Times show whole minutes, and grow big and red in the last minute.
• 🛡️ Barrier strength: Magic Barrier shows the damage it can still absorb, like 178/210, on top of its icon.
• 🖱️ Put it anywhere: press Esc and drag the icons where you want them. Right-click to put them back. Stacked groups open up while the menu is open, so you can see what they hold.
• ✍️ Your own rules: move any status, from the game or any mod, into any group, or make new groups.
• 🌩️ Other JoksterCube mods: TempestRite's blessings join Buffs and kinship waits Cooldowns, and its Domain & Reckoning rites and World Rites get a group each. PingMark's Perception goes to Buffs, ProtectSpawnerFarms' statuses to Passive.

🗂️ Groups

With TempestRite:

Custom Rules come first. A comma separated list of status=group, where the status is its name in game or its internal name, and * matches anything:

Wishbone=Buffs, SE_MyMod_*=My Mod, Shelter=At Home

A group named in a rule appears in the Groups settings, so you can stack, hide or move it like any other. Turn on Log Statuses (an advanced setting) to see every status's internal name and group in the BepInEx log.

⚙️ Installation

Install with a mod manager (r2modman, Thunderstore App), or manually:

1. Install BepInExPack Valheim.
2. Extract StatusGroups into BepInEx/plugins.
3. Launch the game. Settings are in BepInEx/config/JoksterCube.StatusGroups.cfg, or in game with Configuration Manager (F1). Changes show at once.

🧩 Multiplayer & Compatibility

• ✅ Client only. It only changes what your own HUD shows, so it works in single-player and on any server, with or without the mod.
• 🌩️ Made to go with TempestRite: its many blessings, rites and waits are sorted into groups of their own, named in your language.
• ✅ Other players don't need it, and nobody needs the same version.
• ⚠️ Other mods that also redraw the status list may clash with it. Pick Vanilla to hand the list back to the game.

🔧 Configuration

The settings most people change:

Font sizes, name width, seconds, sorting and more are in the config file and Configuration Manager, each setting explained there.

🛠️ For mod authors

Give your mod's statuses their own groups, with no reference to StatusGroups: call JoksterCube.StatusGroups.StatusGroupsApi by reflection, so your mod still works without it.

}

• id ("MyMod Buffs"): also the name of the group's settings and what players write in Custom Rules. Start it with your mod's name.
• name: shown above the group's row and on its stacked icon. Asked for each time, so it can follow the game's language (a $token works too).
• order: the group's place, lower first. Pick a free one:

A mod can also put its statuses into the four built-in groups by their ids: Buffs, Cooldowns, Negatives, Passive.
