About this mod Author’s original text
Better Organisation
Tell each chest what belongs in it, then put your whole inventory away with one key.
- Categories – every item, modded ones included, is sorted into categories automatically.
- Link chests – open a chest, press Categories, tick what it should hold. Detect sets it up from its contents.
- Stash (H) – sends your inventory to the right nearby chests. Priorities decide which fills first; full chests overflow to the next.
- Deposit / Sort – buttons on every chest. J sorts.
- Favourites – Alt+click a stack to keep it out of stashing and sorting. The tag follows the stack.
- Search – type in an open chest (Ctrl+F) to fade out everything else.
- Chest list (K) – all nearby chests, and which one holds the item you are looking for. Open or edit them from there.
- Labels – name your chests.
- Reorganize (off by default) – moves misplaced items to the right chest.
Client side. Works in multiplayer, on vanilla servers, and next to players without the mod. Chest setups are saved in the world and shared.
Compatible with MultiUserChest, EquipmentAndQuickSlots, AzuExtendedPlayerInventory and AzuAutoStore.
Setup
Keys and options: BepInEx/config/com.chestcategories.valheim.cfg.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin
- The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
- Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
- Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
- Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.
Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file. In multiplayer, the host and every client need the same mods installed.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
