About this mod Author’s original text
RestlessDrawers
Same storage progression. A tidier storeroom.
Build modular cabinets that fit together and show what they hold from across the room.
(screenshot coming) — Mixed drawer tiers arranged into a populated storage wall.
Familiar capacity
| Cabinet | Matches |
| --- | --- |
| Wood drawer | Wood chest |
| Personal drawer | Personal chest |
| Reinforced drawer | Reinforced chest |
| Black metal drawer | Black metal chest |
Each cabinet keeps the matching chest's slot count, recipe and unlock. Personal drawers keep personal access. This is storage furniture, not an extra-capacity upgrade.
Build an arrangement
Tiers share a footprint so you can combine them in a wall or stack. Use the cabinet's snap points to align neighbouring pieces and turn them to face your room.
Each cabinet is one container. The fronts show its four most abundant stacks; the visual drawers are not separate inventories. Open the cabinet to use the familiar container controls.
Fits the collection
Core treats eligible drawers as containers for crafting, building, quick-stack and ground-item routing. Storage can browse their contents. Piles remains the separate option for single-resource bulk storage.
Vanilla chests remain valid. Drawer support behaviour is intended for the furniture, not as structural support for buildings.
Start here
- Install Drawers with Core.
- Unlock the corresponding vanilla chest.
- Build its cabinet using the hammer and fill it through the container window.
The current source includes a smaller cabinet and corner-snapping update. Older releases may have different placement dimensions; consult the guide and changelog when updating existing arrangements.
Drawers is included in the current Restless Valheim pack. Its F8 page identifies the module; it has no separate gameplay sliders.

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:
