Rename chests for easier organizing.

About this mod Author’s original text

This mod lets you rename the tooltip name of chests to make the organizing easier.

The character limit is 32.

Usage

To rename a chest you first need to equip any tool like a hammer and then put it on your belt (hide weapon, default button R).

After that, you will be able to see the prompt to rename the chest with Shift+E.

Installation

This mod depends on BepInEx for Valheim.

Use Vortex or you can install the mod manually by copying its.dll file into your Valheim/BepInEx/plugins folder.

Server compatibility

Works with any server, even if the server doesn't have the mod installed. However, any client who wants to see/change the custom name needs to have the mod ofc.

Mod compatibility

Depending on mod it may work with custom chests.

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:
