README

Catos Chest Viewer

By Catosaur.

Client-side mod to see what is inside a chest while looking at it, without opening the container.

CatosChestViewer in game

Client-side only

CatosChestViewer is a client-side mod. It does not need to be installed on a dedicated server, and other players do not need to install it. Each client independently renders its own local hover display.

Installation

Install the Thunderstore package with a Valheim mod manager, or place CatosChestViewer.dll in the client profile's BepInEx/plugins directory. BepInExPack Valheim 5.4.2350 is required.

The mod creates its configuration at BepInEx/config/com.catosaur.catoschestviewer.cfg.

Compatibility

Validated against Valheim 1.0.7 / network version 39. The mod is guarded to load only in the Valheim client process and does not load in valheim_server.exe.
