PackPanel

A bigger, better organised inventory, with labelled slots always on screen.

Features

• A grid from your two hands up to 12 x 10, with Base Carry Weight and Keep On Death (choose which slot groups you keep).
• Labelled slots on two tabs, Gear and Consumables, plus a purse, key ring and tacklebox (below).
• Stat sheet: your stats as the game counts them; hover a line for its breakdown.
• Auto Equip: gear in its slot is always worn; right click gear in a chest to wear it.
• Eight backpacks and four tackleboxes; each tacklebox is crafted from the one before (below).
• Armour and weight by the minimap, a bigger crafting panel, a brown or timber look, darker at night.
• With OpenKeep 1.8.0+, its buttons join the inventory; quick stack and sort skip the slots.
• With EliteCrafting or Epic Loot, backpacks can be magic; the stat sheet lists their effects.

Slots

• Head, Chest, Legs, Back: your armour and cape, worn; a Feet slot joins them for EliteEquipment's boots.
• Backpack: wear one of the eight backpacks below.
• Utility: up to five belts, wishbones and the like, all worn at once.
• Trinket: your worn adrenaline trinket.
• Food: Z eats everything in them you can eat now.
• Mead: Left Alt + 1 to 5 drinks that slot's mead, shown under your health bar.
• Ammo: arrows and bolts go here first; the bow uses them left to right.
• Coin purse: coins go in first, and traders pay from it.
• Key ring: keys gather on a small round ring; doors still find them.
• Tacklebox: holds a tacklebox, whose cells keep your bait.

Backpacks

Worn on your back for every player to see. Their cells join the bottom of your grid. Each has levels 1 to 4, upgraded at its station: a worn pack slows you by 8, 6, 4 or 2 %, and what it holds weighs 100, 95, 90 or 85 %.

Install

Needed on the server and every client. Install with r2modman or the Thunderstore app, or put PackPanel.dll in BepInEx/plugins.

• Not compatible with mods that resize the inventory or add equipment slots, like ExtraSlots.
• Removing the mod loses what lies outside the game's grid, every backpack and tacklebox, and keys above one per stack: empty them first.
• Lowering Inventory Width, Key Stack or slot counts, or taking off a pack, drops what no longer fits.

Configuration

BepInEx/config/milkyteam.packpanel.cfg, plus PackPanel.Backpacks.yml and PackPanel.Tackleboxes.yml (format: https://github.com/geraldjglasgow/ValheimMods/blob/main/PackPanel/CLAUDE.md#backpack-and-tacklebox-yaml-files). Every setting is described in the file and applies without a restart; the server's values bind every player, except your look and keys. Translate: save a copy of English.yml as PackPanel.translations.<Language>.yml in BepInEx/config.
