Smartpickup

Smartpickup is a Valheim mod that gives you control over autopickup behavior. There are three modes:

• On (Normal): Standard autopickup.
• Smart: Only pick up items already in your inventory.
• Off: Disable autopickup.

Features

• Toggle modes using the game's autopickup key.
• Config menu to set default mode and adjust the pickup radius.

Installation

1. Install denikson-BepInExPack_Valheim-5.4.2202 or later.
2. Place the mod DLL, manifest.json, and this file in your BepInEx/plugins folder.
3. Launch Valheim.

Usage

Press the Auto-Pickup key (default may be V) to cycle through modes. The current mode is displayed on-screen.

Configuration

Edit the config file at BepInEx/config/Smartpickup.cfg to set:

• Default Mode: The mode Smartpickup starts in.
• Pickup Radius: The detection range for smart mode.

Dependencies

• BepInExPack_Valheim: denikson-BepInExPack_Valheim-5.4.2202 (or later)

1.0.7

• Restored vanilla Player.AutoPickup handling for Normal mode, including support for expanding the vanilla pickup radius from config.
• Reworked Smart mode item attraction to mirror Valheim's transform-based pull behavior instead of rigidbody velocity, reducing dangerous (but hilarious) item flinging.
• Added vanilla autopickup range tracking so mode switches and runtime config changes restore the player's original range outside custom Normal mode.

1.0.6

• Hardened SmartPickup so only the local player can drive custom autopickup mode changes.
• Tightened autopickup toggle detection so mode switching only reacts to real vanilla autopickup state changes.
• Replaced the old per-frame vanilla autopickup resync with targeted lifecycle-based syncing.
• Optimized the custom pickup hot path with cached field access, squared-distance checks, and reusable item identity storage.
• Clamped configured pickup range values to a sane runtime range, with support for values up to 100.
• Added one-time warnings for critical private-field lookup failures and split the mod into focused source files for easier maintenance.
• Added runtime config hot reload for mode, pickup range, and normal-mode custom range changes.
• Updated the plugin GUID to com.b0n3.smartpickup and added legacy config migration from com.yourname.valheim.smartautopickup.
• Switched PickupRange to whole-number values and normalized legacy decimal values for cleaner config editing.
• Hardened local build and release scripts so MSBuild resolution and release packaging work more reliably across machines.

1.0.5

• Added General.ApplyCustomRangeInNormalMode so normal autopickup can optionally use SmartPickup's configurable pull range.
• Reworked custom pickup scanning to share one efficient path, using a reusable non-alloc overlap buffer and a one-pass inventory name lookup for smart mode.
• Moved mode switching onto Valheim's shared vanilla autopickup toggle flow so controller and keyboard both cycle modes reliably.

1.0.4

• Updated the mod against the current local Valheim and BepInEx setup.
• Fixed a smart pickup safety issue around missing ZNetView components.
• Synchronized assembly and package metadata for cleaner builds and releases.
• Cleaned up the project layout and added helper scripts for build, deploy, and release packaging.

1.0.3

• Added more comprehensive error handling via try-catch blocks.
• Introduced a configuration menu for setting the default autopickup mode and pickup radius.

1.0.2

• Adjusted on-screen message to display as "Auto-Pickup:On", "Auto-Pickup:Smart", or "Auto-Pickup:Off".

1.0.1

• Fixed autopickup logic to support keybind changes.

1.0.0

• Initial release of Smartpickup.
