29 settings, all at vanilla by default. They live in
Valheim/BepInEx/config/midgardplus.cfg, which is written on first launch with every
description, type, default and range in it.
On a server, the host decides. See Multiplayer and Dedicated Servers.

| Setting |
Default |
Range |
What it does |
| Craft from nearby chests |

Build, craft and repair using materials sitting in chests around you, instead of carrying everything to the workbench. |
| Chest search range |
20 |
5 to 100 |
How far the chest search reaches, in metres. |
A note on chest search range
Larger is not always better. The search is a physics query run whenever a recipe list refreshes,
and a wide radius scans more of the world every time. 20 metres covers a normal base. Push it to
100 and you will feel it when opening the crafting menu.
Materials are physically moved into your inventory a moment before the game consumes them, so
vanilla crafting runs against a real inventory. Nothing has to be kept in sync afterwards, and
there is no way for a recipe to half-complete.
Editing without a text editor
The MidgardPlus Launcher reads this file, shows every
setting with its description and correct control (a switch for booleans, a spinner for numbers, a
list for choices), and writes back only the value side of each line. Your comments and layout are
left alone.
