About this mod Author’s original text

Features

Adds a distinctive chest that fits into the world of Valheim. Sized between Wood and Iron, at 3 rows, 5 columns. The build recipe is configurable, but the default is 15x Wood, 1x Bronze, and 10x Bronze nails.

Rationale

I really enjoy bronze age in Valheim, but I hate fighting with wooden chests; they just don't cut it. Instead of pushing swamp early to upgrade to reinforced chests, I figured I could make a new bronze age chest, and have a great time exploring and enjoying a new world.

If you're looking for bigger options, or configurable looks, there are a bunch of other mod options out there. This one's just to fill the tiny little gap in the vanilla gameplay. 🙂

Installation

Manual

  • Un-zip BronzeAgeChest.dll to your /Valheim/BepInEx/plugins/ folder.

(manual install)

  • Go to Settings > Import local mod > Select BronzeAgeChest.zip.
  • Click "OK/Import local mod" on the pop-up for information.

Translations

This mod has full support for translations, but at the moment only has values for English & Russian. If you wish to add a translation, please do the following:

  • Copy the json file located at $your_valheim_folder/BepInEx/plugins/BronzeAgeChest/Translations/English/english.json into a new directory within Translations
  • Name that directory the same as the language you wish to translate (refer to this list of languages; the name must be exact).
  • Change the values for all the json keys to what they should be.

Now when you run Valheim, it should see the translations automatically. Lastly, consider sending me the json file (via an issue on github or on discord). I'd like to add as many translations as I can. 🙂

Support me

I spend countless hours every day working on, updating, and fixing mods for everyone to enjoy. While I will never ask for anyone to pay me to make a mod or add a feature, any support is greatly appreciated!

Known issues

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin

  1. The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
  2. 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.
  3. Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
  4. 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.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
