Teflon Ted's Craft From Chests
One mod, one job — no kitchen-sink configs or feature creep.
What it does
Craft, build, cook, and consume recipe materials using items in nearby chests — not only your backpack.
Why install it
Stops the inventory shuffle when a recipe needs wood or iron that is already sitting in a chest a few steps away.
How to use it
- Install with BepInEx (same as other Valheim mods).
- Stand near your storage (~20 m).
- Craft or build as usual — inventory is used first, then accessible chests.
- Requirement amounts show need (chests), e.g. 10 (42).
Only chests you can open count (wards / ownership respected).
Client-side convenience — works on any server.
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:
