About this mod Author’s original text

RossItemDrawers

A drawer that holds a large quantity of a single item and shows that item

and its count on its front face. Built from the Hammer, Furniture tab, at

a Workbench.

Tiers

| Tier | Capacity | Recipe (at Workbench) |

|---|---|---|

| Item Drawer (wood) | 1,000 | 10 Fine Wood |

| Stone Item Drawer | 2,000 | 5 Fine Wood + 10 Stone |

| Black Marble Item Drawer | 10,000 | 5 Fine Wood + 10 Black Marble |

Capacities and build costs are the defaults; a server admin can change

both per tier in the config file.

Drawers are 0.66m cubes and snap to each other, so they tile into a wall.

Controls

| Input | Effect |

|---|---|

| Use item from hotbar | Assign that item to an empty drawer. Once a drawer has an item, the hotbar no longer touches it |

| E (Interact) | Take one stack |

| Ctrl+E | Take one item |

| Ctrl+E on an empty (zero-count) drawer | Unassign it, so it can hold something else |

| Shift+E | Deposit every matching item in your inventory |

Ctrl and Shift are this mod's own bindings, not Valheim's. Change them

under [Controls] in the config to any key you like, or set one to None

to switch that action off. The hover text follows whatever you choose.

Nearby items

A drawer pulls in matching items dropped near it, so emptying a full

inventory onto the floor of a storage room files everything away by

itself. Only items a drawer is already assigned to are taken — a drawer

never claims something it was not holding, and a full one takes nothing.

On by default, within 40 metres. Both the range and the switch are in

the config under [Pickup], and are server-synced.

Compatibility

Drawers are Containers. Other mods see a drawer as a small chest

holding its item, and use it through the ordinary inventory API with no

drawer-specific support. This version is designed for:

  • Taking from drawers — crafting from nearby containers, OttoFuel,

NoVikingLeftBehind: the drawer's whole count is available.

  • Storing into drawers — AzuAutoStore, Quick Stack Store: only the

drawer's own item is accepted, up to its capacity. Empty and

unassigned drawers accept nothing, so they are never chosen as a

destination.

  • Take-all mods receive normal-sized stacks.

Items moved this way are applied to the drawer's count within a frame by

the player whose mod moved them, who takes charge of the drawer the same

way those mods take charge of a chest.

OttoFuel and NoVikingLeftBehind were verified in game against 0.9.x.

The 1.0 container support above has not yet been tested in game with

these mods.

Every player and the server must run the same ItemDrawers version.

Known limitations

  • Mods on two players' machines changing the same drawer in the same

instant can race — whichever change lands last wins, the same exposure

a vanilla chest has when two players use it at once.

  • A withdrawal made through the view in the exact frame a client

disconnects may not reach the server.

Dependencies

  • BepInEx 5.4.2350
  • Jotunn 2.30.0 or newer

Thanks

To makail and KG, whose drawer mods are the inspiration for this

one. RossItemDrawers is its own mod with its own code, and does not read

or convert drawers built with theirs.

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:
