PeekaChest
Show the contents of any chest just by hovering over it — no need to open it. Inspired by ContentsWithin by MSchmoecker/ComfyMods: https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/MSchmoecker/ContentsWithin/ (source: https://github.com/MSchmoecker/ComfyMods/tree/fork-upload/ContentsWithin)
This is a rebuild of that mod's code (GPL-3.0), patched to work on
Valheim 1.0. The LICENSE file (GPL-3.0) must stay with any copy you share.
Use
- Hover over any chest you have access to — its contents show in the normal inventory UI without opening it, and without freezing you in place.
- Press Right Shift + P (configurable) to toggle the feature on/off.
- Interacting with a chest normally still opens it for real.
Config
BepInEx/config/com.yumileashen.valheim.peekachest.cfg after first launch —
toggle key, enable/disable, and a debug-logging option (off by default).

CHANGELOG
Changelog
1.0.0 (PeekaChest — inspired by ContentsWithin, ported for Valheim 1.0)
- Inspired by ContentsWithin by MSchmoecker/ComfyMods: https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/MSchmoecker/ContentsWithin/
- Rebuilt against Valheim 1.0, reflection-based instead of needing a publicized game assembly to compile.
- Fixed: InventoryGrid's tracking hook (renamed from Awake to OnEnable in 1.0) no longer silently blocks every preview.
- Fixed: hiding the player's own inventory no longer also hides the container preview — 1.0 nests both under the same "Player" panel, so only the player's own grid/sub-panels are hidden now, not their shared parent.
- Fixed: the container panel and its grid now disappear together the moment you stop hovering, instead of the panel lingering after the grid contents were already cleared.
- Resolves Container.CheckAccess by reflection since its signature varies by game version.
