Installation & multiplayer

Install ContainerCustomizer by Zephyrfit through Gale or a compatible mod manager. Requires BepInEx.

Client-side: no server installation required. Players need the mod to see shared styles; use the same version. Editing respects container ownership, including SimpleAccessControl when installed. Inventory capacity and access permissions remain unchanged. Search covers nearby loaded containers.

Languages: French, English, Russian and Simplified Chinese, selected automatically from Valheim. Missing translations fall back to English.

Support

Installation help, bug reports and suggestions: zephyrfit on Discord. For bugs, include your mod version and BepInEx/LogOutput.log.

1.0.10

• Shorten the Thunderstore description to focus on features, controls and installation.
• Group all build.copy entries before publish settings for compatibility with the Thunderstore CLI parser.

1.0.9

• Increase blackmetal chest side and lid icons by 35% at the default size, independently of text size.
• Attach blackmetal lid text and background to the outer lid surface using the same geometry guard as the icon.
• Add 12 arrow illustrations (wood, flint, bronze, iron, silver, fire, poison, frost, obsidian, needle, carapace, charred) and a mixed quiver.
• Catalogue: 120 emojis and 16 pictograms. Existing saved icon IDs are unchanged. New icons support original colour, recolourable monochrome and FR/EN/RU/Chinese search.

1.0.8

• Harden only the blackmetal lid icon clearance: include the chest's colliders even when readable interior triangles exist, check the full footprint for narrow metal reinforcements, and account for overlapping unreadable lid meshes.
• Preserve the approved text positioning and other chest/barrel faces.
• Add Money: leather pouch, four gold coins, a ring and a ruby. Total: 107 emojis plus 16 pictograms.
• Add French, English, Russian and Chinese labels and search aliases; retain original-color and tintable monochrome modes.

1.0.7

• Fit chest markings to the actual model dimensions instead of reusing fixed front/back/lid coordinates.
• Scale down markings for smaller personal chests and center the combined text/icon group on narrow sides.
• Project text, icons and backgrounds onto sampled original mesh surfaces, with a chest-only collider fallback for unreadable meshes.
• Keep the approved blackmetal text layout while correcting logo surface clearance.
• Account for background depth, both icon rendering paths, viewer-facing lid rotation and the chest's actual center.
• Draw both resize arrows inside the editor window on a contrasting bottom strip so the window layer cannot hide them.

1.0.6

• Read supported Windows shortcut keys directly from the foreground game keyboard with the active layout; track fresh presses and ignore held keys on focus return.
• Keep complete-chord fallback to either Unity backend instead of letting an inactive Input System suppress legacy input.
• Log detected editor/search shortcuts and UI focus blocks to help diagnose intermittent issues.
• Add gold downward arrows at both bottom corners of the resize handle.
• Keep Preview visible and update its name, icon, colors, background and wood tint live from the draft.
• Group emoji families under Filters and remove the Subsections menu.
• Translate Filters into all four supplied languages.
• Shorten the Help, bug reports and suggestions paragraph as requested.

1.0.5

• Keep the icon-size slider exclusively in Display.
• Color the configured editor shortcut yellow in container hover text.
• Add a bottom resize handle to the customization window, retaining the compact default.
• Save window height locally on release and restore it after restarting; clamp it to the screen.
• Let the icon grid use the increased height.

1.0.4

• Read shortcut chords without rejecting unrelated movement/lock keys; prefer Unity Input System physical key controls, retaining legacy Unity fallback.
• Replace the global IMGUI focus-only guard with native game input checks and visible UI focus; localize the configured shortcut hint.
• Rename JSON translation tokens to Jotunn-compatible ASCII keys; preserve legacy contributor-file loading and English fallback.
• Add independent 50–300% icon size, persisted per container (v4 only when size differs from 100%); keep v1–v3 styles readable.
• Resize curved and shader-fallback icon geometry and adjust text/icon spacing and small-face fitting.
• Add five illustrated icons: forge/anvil, sword and axe, pickaxe/axe/mallet, armor pile with helmet, six-metal Moai totems. Total: 106 emojis plus 16 pictograms.

1.0.3

• Add 48 illustrated icons, bringing the emoji collection to 101.
• Add multilingual, accent-insensitive icon search and resource subsections.
• Follow the game language using editable JSON files: English, French, Russian and Simplified Chinese, with English fallback.
• Add soup, skewers and raw meat; identify existing cooked meat and stew icons clearly.
• Keep All as the default view, retain favorites and add the last 12 selected icons.
• Add a scrollable icon grid and a clear-filters action.
• Preserve all existing icon IDs, saved styles and the 1.0.2 UI resource lifetime fixes.
• Keep the optional manual installer outside the Thunderstore package.
