About this mod Author’s original text
Detect Storage (Valheim Mod)
Detect Storage adds a clean sorting workflow with 2 build pieces in a new Hammer category called Detect:
- Detect Hub
- Detect Chest
The system is multiplayer-safe and server-authoritative:
- client sends requests only
- server validates object + distance
- server performs all item moves/filter writes
What it does
Detect Hub
- Recipe: 20 Wood + 20 Stone
- Container where you drop items to sort
- Default scan range: 20m (Hub.ScanRadiusMeters)
- Sort trigger: open the hub and press G
- Cooldown: Hub.SortButtonCooldownSeconds (default 0.5)
Sort behavior:
- Reads each stack in the hub
- Finds Detect Chests in range that match the item filter
- Moves to the first matching chest with enough space
- Leaves stack in hub if no matching/free chest is available
Detect Chest
- Recipe: 5 Wood
- Uses vanilla wood chest model
- Inventory size matches largest vanilla chest size
- Single-item filter mode (v0.1)
Filter usage:
- Open a Detect Chest
- Press F to enter filter mode
- Click an item to set filter
- Press F then click empty slot to clear filter
Persistence:
- ZDO key: detect_filter_item
- Value: item prefab name
If filter is not set, Detect Chest accepts nothing.
Build radius visuals
- The hub radius is shown only while you are in build placement for:
- Detect Hub
- Detect Chest
- Radius is hidden after placement.

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:
