About this mod Author’s original text
Search Bar Plus 2.0.3
Search Bar Plus is a client-side Valheim mod that adds fast recipe and chest search tools while keeping the vanilla Improvements workflow intact.
Features
Recipe search
- Search recipes in the inventory, workbench, forge, cauldron, and other crafting panels.
- Search the localized item name with case-insensitive, accent-insensitive, multi-word matching.
- Use partial mod names with @, including quoted names with spaces: @reef axe or @"Reef Packs" backpack.
- Search input is available on both Production and Improvements tabs.
- Crafting and chest search text use separate memory settings.
Quantity crafting
- Production-only quantity input with minus, plus, and direct numeric editing.
- Quantity means recipe executions. A recipe that creates 20 arrows produces 1,500 arrows at quantity 75.
- Resource requirements, output labels, and craft time scale with the selected quantity.
- Crafting is disabled when the selected quantity cannot be supplied.
- The vanilla Shift/AltPlace modifier is ignored only while the custom Production quantity row is active.
- Toggle Enable Quantity Crafting at any time in Configuration Manager. The custom controls disappear immediately; an already-running batch finishes first, and new crafts use vanilla behavior, including five crafts while Shift is held.
- During crafting, the row becomes Cancel and the progress bar stays beside the action button.
- The Improvements tab keeps the vanilla Improve button and behavior.
- Compatible with detected chest-pulling crafting mods: recipe requirements and the custom craft button use the native patched resource checks, while the selected craft quantity remains exact.
Chest tools
- Search opened chests and containers by localized item name.
- Matching items are packed into the visible grid while slot interaction remains intact.
- Clear the search to restore the original grid.
- Sort chest contents alphabetically with the compact sort button below the weight indicator.
Recipe category filters
- Vertical, single-selection filters for All, Weapons, Armor, Consumables, Construction, Other, and detected mod sources.
- Selecting the active category returns to All.
- Mod categories are created only for mods that provide visible recipes and wrap after 20 entries per column.
- Built-in categories keep a stable vertical order when exclusions change; visible buttons remain compact with no gaps.
- Category tooltips use the vanilla style after one second and follow the selected game language.
- Armor, weapons, consumables, and construction use generated chest-plate, crossed-swords, potion, and hammer sprites instead of item images or unsupported font glyphs.
- ExcludedRecipeCategories can hide built-in categories, all mod categories, or matching mod names.
Language and compatibility
- Search, craft, cancel, and category labels support 35 language identifiers with English fallback.
- Does not require server installation or Jötunn.
- Keeps Valheim's unlocked recipes, requirements, and recipe order.
- Only the repetitive vanilla Setting selected recipe diagnostic is suppressed; other logs remain available.
Configuration Manager
Gameplay features are enabled by default. Craft debug logging is disabled by default and is intended only for troubleshooting.
Important settings:
- EnableCraftSearch: show recipe search fields.
- EnableCraftQuantity: enable Production quantity crafting immediately. An in-progress custom batch finishes before the feature fully turns off; subsequent crafts use Valheim's native quantity and Shift behavior.
- EnableModSearch: enable @mod recipe filtering.
- KeepCraftSearchText and KeepChestSearchText: remember each search independently.
- EnableChestSearch: show chest search.
- EnableChestSort: show the chest sort button.
- EnableRecipeTypeFilters: show recipe category filters.
- KeepRecipeTypeFilters: keep the selected category after closing the interface.
- ExcludedRecipeCategories: comma-separated category or mod names to omit.
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:
