⚙️ Configuration

Launch the game once to generate the config file:

BepInEx/config/cjayride.RecycleItemsIntoParts.cfg

🖥️ Server Settings

ServerEnforced = true

Default: true

When enabled, everyone follows the server's recycling rules.

CJAYCRAFT: Must be true.

🪵 Resource Returns

ReturnResources = 0.40
ReturnResourcesMagic = 0.40

Default: 0.40 = 40%

Returned quantities are rounded. For example, 3 Wood returns 1 Wood.

✨ Enchanted Gear

ReturnEnchantedResources = true
DowngradeEnchantRarity = true
MagicDustSoftener = true

• ReturnEnchantedResources — Recycle enchanted gear into magic materials.
• DowngradeEnchantRarity — Return materials one rarity tier below the item's rarity.
• MagicDustSoftener — Green magic items return 1–2 Magic Dust.

CJAYCRAFT: Keep ReturnEnchantedResources = true.

🚫 Optional Recycling Restrictions

Change these settings to control what players can recover.

CJAYCRAFT server settings:

RecycleCoins = false
RecycleTrophy = false
RecycleConsumables = false
RecycleShards = false

These restrictions help protect the server economy and custom recipes.

When enabled, the popup shows the item and the materials you'll receive before recycling.

CJAYCRAFT: Keep this enabled.

The code was not AI-generated. AI was used to help verify compatibility with Valheim 1.0.21.

v1.8.9

• Fixed startup crash (Harmony FieldRefAccess ArgumentNullException)

v1.8.8

• Rechecked against Valheim 1.0.21 (Steam build 26249040)
• Removed the Harmony postfix on InventoryGui.Update (hot path); recycle uses the plugin Update instead
• Faster inventory tick: Delete is checked before any inventory work
• Cached Valheim/EpicLoot field and method lookups instead of reflecting every recycle
• Hovered slot is used first; expensive grid scans run only as fallback
• Magic Dust lookup and inventory grids are cached while the inventory is open

v1.8.7

• Verified against Valheim 1.0.21 (Release build, Steam build 26249040).
• Updated BepInExPack dependency to 5.4.2360

v1.8.6

• Default craft return is 0.40
• ReturnResourcesMagic scales EpicLoot enchant mats after the rarity drop (5 dust at 0.40 returns 2)
• Optional MagicDustSoftener gives 1-2 Magic Dust on green/Magic items; Rare+ stay one tier down

v1.8.5

• Recycle confirm list shows each returned item's icon next to its name
• Removed the hover-delete hint popup (it fired on every hover). Recycle is drag the item, then Delete
• EpicLoot enchanted gear still returns downgraded enchant materials when enabled

v1.8.4

• Hover + Delete checks every inventory grid slot under the mouse in screen space (including extra inventory mods)

v1.8.3

• Hover + Delete follows the item tooltip under the mouse
• If no item is held or hovered, Delete explains to drag the item first

v1.8.2

• Hover + Delete uses the inventory slot under the mouse cursor (UI raycast)

v1.8.1

• Yes / No are real colored buttons on the recycle window (not cloned hidden inventory buttons)
• Hover + Delete uses the slot the pointer entered, not only a dragged item

v1.8.0

• Recycle Yes/No is a small inventory window (not the full-screen Valheim pause popup)
• Yes and No buttons work; Escape or right-click cancels

v1.7.9

• Recycle confirmation is a Yes/No popup on top of the inventory, listing the item and parts you will get
• Hover now uses the inventory cell under the mouse (no longer recycles slot 1 by mistake)

v1.7.8

• Recycle preview and results show in the center HUD as one line (item + returned parts)
• Optional top-left notifications: UseTopLeftNotifications = false by default
• Hover + Delete uses the hovered inventory slot (not only a dragged item)
• RecycleHotkey is read as Unity KeyCode Delete (stops BepInEx 'delete' keybind errors)

v1.7.7

• Recycle works on a hovered item or a dragged item (Delete no longer requires a drag)
• First Delete shows a confirmation with the item name and returned parts; press Delete again within 4 seconds to confirm
• HUD messages list what is being recycled and what you get back
• RecycleHotkey uses KeyCode.Delete so it registers in Valheim 1.0 / Unity 6

v1.7.6

• Added togglable server-enforced config (ServerEnforced = true by default). Host/server recycle settings apply to clients; set false for per-player configs. Recycle hotkey stays local.

v1.7.5

• Enchant materials are no longer doubled on upgraded items (quality loop)
• Enchant returns drop one EpicLoot rarity (Legendary -> Epic). Magic rarity returns none
• Default craft return is 25%. Amounts under 0.5 round to nothing, so 1 bronze returns 0 bronze

v1.7.4

• Thunderstore version bump (1.7.3 was already published)

v1.7.3

• Fixed enchanted gear recycling dropping the first craft material (for example a boar skirt returning essences but no hides) when coins were also in the EpicLoot enchant cost

v1.7.2

• Recycling no longer returns Valheim 1.0 upgrade idols (for example Wooden Protection Idol)

v1.7.1

• Fixed NullReferenceException when recycling (ObjectDB.m_items can contain objects without ItemDrop in Valheim 1.0)

v1.7.0

• Updated for Valheim 1.0
• Fixed Inventory.AddItem for the 1.0 signature (avoids MissingMethodException when returning recycled parts)
• Trophy recycle option now matches ItemType.Trophy
• Shard recycle option now uses RecycleShards instead of RecycleTrophy when deciding whether to delete shards
• Updated BepInExPack dependency to 5.4.2350

v1.6.0

• Removed terminal reload
• Added compatibility for v0.217.46

v1.5.1 - 2024/4/7

• Fixed reference to assembly files

v1.5.0 - 2024/4/7

• Change for EpicLoot, committed by blradlof (verfied by "aedenthorn") on Dec 16, 2023. Line 86 changed EpicLoot.Crafting.EnchantTabController to EpicLoot.Crafting.EnchantHelper

v1.4.0 - 2023/7/9

• Update for Mistlands. I've tested it with a combination of mods like EpicLoot, EquipmentandQuickSlots, ExtendedPlayerInventory, BetterArchery.
• Note: The BetterArchery QUIVER (if enabled) breaks the game if ExtendedPlayerInventor is also installed.
• I'll continue to test as I complete the rebuild of CJAYCRAFT modpack. As far as I can tell, this mod is working, but shoot me a message if you discover an issue before I get to play more :)
