This mod requires the following mods to function
ValheimModding-Jotunn
Jötunn (/ˈjɔːtʊn/, 'giant'), the Valheim Library was created with the goal of making the lives of mod developers easier. It enables you to create mods for Valheim using an abstracted API so you can focus on the actual content creation.
Preferred version: 2.26.1
denikson-BepInExPack_Valheim
BepInEx pack for Valheim. Preconfigured with the correct entry point for mods and preferred defaults for the community.
Preferred version: 5.4.2350README
CraftFromChestsPlus
Place a Craft Totem (sign) in your base. Inside its radius, all players can craft, build, and smelt using nearby chests. Outside = no chest scans (no explore lag).
Optional: set RequireTotem = false in Mod Settings / config to always use chests within Range (no totem needed).
Requires: Jotunn
Support / donations: ko-fi.com/tudoecriativo
Features
- Craft Totem signs — Hammer → Misc near a Workbench
- Shared zone for everyone near a placed totem
- Config toggles: craft / hammer build / smelt
RequireTotem(Mod Settings): totem zone only, or always-on around the player- Alt + scroll on a totem to change its radius
- Smelter / Kiln / Blast furnace / Eitr refinery ore & fuel from chests
- Up to 128 closest chests (configurable
MaxNearbyChests); access checks
How to use
- Install BepInEx, Jotunn, and this mod (same versions on dedicated server + all clients)
- Place a totem via Hammer → Misc near a workbench (Wood + Resin + Bronze)
- Or open Configuration Manager / Mod Settings and set
RequireTotem = falsefor always-on - Hold Alt and scroll while looking at a totem to resize its radius
FAQ — “We don’t see the totem at the workbench”
- Totems are built with the Hammer → Misc near a Workbench (not the Production list)
- Dedicated: server + all clients need Jotunn + CraftFromChestsPlus at the same version

Rangeis the default until adjusted)
