ChestContents
Introduction
ChestContents is a Valheim mod/plugin that helps you keep track of all your chests and their contents. It provides an at-a-glance overview of how many chests are indexed and what items are stored where, making inventory management much easier.
Features
- Displays the number of indexed chests as a status effect (see the first image above).
- Provides a searchable meta pane to quickly find where items are stored (see the second image above).
- Command-line interface for searching chests by item name.
- Meta data viewing: Run the default /searchchests command with no arguments to view meta data about the mod's state. This does not reset the indexed chests or cached data.
- Configurable options: Use the /chestconfig or /cc command to edit configuration options and preview the effect on yourself in real time.
Commands
Search Chests Command
You can search for items across all indexed chests using the following command:
/searchchests
Aliases
- /cs
- /sc
Example Usage
To find the chest containing the most mushrooms, type:
/searchchests mushroom
This will indicate the chest with the highest quantity of mushrooms in your indexed chests, showing its location and the quantity found.
Meta Data and State
Run the default command with no arguments:
/searchchests
This will display meta data about the mod's current state, such as the number of indexed chests and items. It does not reset the mod's state or cached data.
Config Command
Edit configuration and preview effects:
/chestconfig
or
/cc
This command allows you to edit some configuration options for the mod and preview the effect on yourself immediately.
Best Practices
- Use the search command with partial item names for broader results (e.g., /searchchests mush will match "mushroom").
Installation
- Download the latest release of ChestContents.dll and the matching named folder (ChestContents).
- Place them in your BepInEx/plugins folder.
- Launch Valheim and enjoy easier item finding!

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:
