InventoryLimit

Set a server-wide main inventory limit of 10–64 slots. Default: 32.

Made for modpacks that improve the interface but add extra storage. Reduce the main inventory to compensate and keep more of vanilla Valheim's inventory challenge.

SeneaL UI is optional. Tested in game with SeneaL UI 1.1.6; other mod combinations have not been tested.

Install and configure

1. Install InventoryLimit with BepInExPack Valheim, Jötunn, and Configuration Manager through your mod manager. For a local ZIP, use Settings → Install local mod.
2. Install the same InventoryLimit version on all players and on the dedicated server, if used. Replace older copies.
3. Open F1 → InventoryLimit → Inventory → Slots.

The host's limit syncs to everyone, including when hosting from your own PC. Only the host and authorized server administrators can change it.

How it works

• Counts main inventory cells, including the eight hotbar cells. A limit of 10 means one full row and two more cells.
• With SeneaL UI 1.1.6, separate food, equipment, action, key, wallet, and quiver slots stay outside the limit. Vanilla armor still counts.
• Shrinking moves items into available cells without dropping them. If too many stacks remain, temporary overflow keeps them safe until you remove the excess. Upgrades may be paused until the inventory fits.
• Applies the main-grid limit at runtime; it does not rewrite other mods' configuration files. Priority over every inventory mod is not guaranteed.

Compatibility

The optional SeneaL adapter supports exactly 1.1.6. Other SeneaL versions disable the limit.

Standalone mode blocks unsupported special-slot layouts for recovery: Equipment and Quick Slots, AzuExtendedPlayerInventory, ExtraSlots, and BetterArchery with its quiver enabled. Restore the previous setup and empty its special slots before changing those mods. SeneaL's own BetterArchery integration is retained.

Before removing inventory mods

Back up your character and world. Before removing SeneaL, move all special-slot contents into chests, save, and exit. Before removing InventoryLimit, return to 32 slots and empty any cells beyond the first 32. If inventory access is blocked, restore the previous mod setup before continuing.

0.2.3

• Added SeneaL UI 1.1.7 support while retaining 1.1.6 compatibility.
• Updated the compact-inventory layout matcher for SeneaL 1.1.7's added display-fit guard without changing the footer-layout behavior.
• Added compatibility validation that can run against either SeneaL DLL independently.

0.2.2

• Simplified the README and clarified optional SeneaL compatibility.
• Protected item upgrades while temporary overflow prevents safe replacement.
• Fixed SeneaL bootstrap migration when saved special rows differ but the initial inventory height already matches the target.
• Prevented temporary SeneaL overflow from accepting additional main-inventory stacks between resize updates.
• Updated saved capacity during active dragging and preserved blocked legacy inventory data through death.

0.2.1

• Clarified that SeneaL UI is optional and no longer a required dependency.
• Updated the description after user-confirmed in-game testing, while retaining the compatibility notice for other inventory/UI mods.
• Clarified that overriding other mods' main-grid size settings is intended runtime behavior, not a guarantee of universal compatibility or a rewrite of their configuration files.
• Updated package and assembly version metadata. No inventory behavior changes from 0.2.0.

0.2.0

• Expanded the description to explain balancing UI-focused modpacks and preserving vanilla-like inventory pressure.
• Made InventoryLimit work with the vanilla main inventory without requiring SeneaL UI.

• Added safe shrinking that compacts items and temporarily retains occupied excess cells without allowing them to be refilled beyond the target.
