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

  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:
