About this mod Author’s original text
Chest Size Config
A lightweight Valheim 1.0 BepInEx mod that does one thing: changes container grid sizes.
Defaults
- All buildable vanilla chests, including the Grausten chest, wardrobe, and barrel: double
- Cart, Karve, Longship, and Drakkar: vanilla
- double preserves the vanilla number of columns and doubles the rows, giving exactly twice the slots.
Configuration
Launch the game once, then edit:
BepInEx/config/com.triston.chestsizeconfig.cfg
Each container accepts:
- double — twice the vanilla slots
- vanilla — no size change
- WIDTHxROWS — an exact grid, such as 8x6
Restart the game after editing the config.
Custom/modded containers can be configured with the Prefab sizes setting:
MyChest=8x6;OtherChest=double
Multiplayer
Install the mod on the server and every client, and use the same config everywhere. Different grid sizes between players can make extra slots inaccessible.
Safety
The mod preserves access to existing items when a configured grid is made smaller. Even so, make a world backup before changing or removing any storage-size mod. Empty the added slots before uninstalling.
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:
