About this mod Author’s original text
Loot Filter
Tired of your inventory filling up with stones, resin, and greydwarf eyes? Loot Filter lets you choose exactly which items are excluded from auto-pickup — right from an in-game UI.
Features
- In-game filter panel showing every item you have discovered, grouped by category with their icons
- One click to toggle: click an item to exclude it from auto-pickup (marked red with a ✕), click again to re-enable
- Inventory button: a Loot Filter button is added to the top bar of your inventory, next to the Trophies button
- Hotkey: press L to open/close the filter panel anywhere
- Persistent: your exclusions are saved to the mod config and survive restarts
- Excluded items can still be picked up manually — only auto-pickup is blocked
Usage
- Open your inventory and click the Loot Filter button in the top bar (or press L)
- Click any item to exclude it from auto-pickup — it turns red with a ✕ marker
- Click it again to allow auto-pickup again
- Close the panel and enjoy a cleaner inventory
Exclusions are stored in BepInEx/config/com.ukie.ValheimLootFilter.cfg and can also be edited there by hand (comma-separated prefab names).
Installation (manual)
- Install BepInEx and Jötunn

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:
