About this mod Author’s original text

Valheim Vanilla Plus

Client-side convenience for the unmodded game. No cheats: nothing here changes what your character

can do, what the world gives you or how the game saves. Features are interface helpers (search

boxes, a sign editor, a Clear button) and local visual aids (night vision). Because of that there

is no admin / host requirement.

Some things go beyond what an unmodded player can do:

  • Signs may hold 150 characters instead of 50 (the text is still ordinary sign text).
  • Night vision lets you see in the dark without a torch (off by default).
  • The world seed is shown on servers, where the game itself never displays it.
  • The radar shows creatures and players around you through walls and terrain (off by default).
  • Waypoint markers are drawn in the world, through walls, not only on the map.
  • Craft from chests uses materials from nearby chests without you carrying them (off by default).
  • The storage window takes from and stores into nearby chests without you opening them.
  • Reveal map shows the whole world map without exploring it (off by default; display only).

Install

Install with a mod manager (r2modman, Mod Manager), or by hand: install BepInExPack

Valheim, then put ValheimVanillaPlus.dll in Valheim\BepInEx\plugins\. Only the players who want

the features need it; the server does not.

Hotkeys (in game)

| Key | Toggle |

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

| Insert | Options menu: theme, search and tabs Interface / Crafting / Items / Vision / World / Stats / More (frees the cursor, blocks player input while open) |

| F2 | Storage window: all nearby chests as one searchable list with Take / Store |

| Left Alt + click | In the inventory with a chest open: move every stack of the clicked item to the other side |

| Left Alt + Shift + click | In the inventory: drop every stack of the clicked item |

| Home | Night vision (no torch needed at night / in caves) – starts OFF |

Change any of these in the menu: More → General → Hotkeys. Click a key's button, then press the

new key (hold Ctrl / Shift / Alt for a combination); Esc cancels, "None" unbinds, "Default" puts

the original back. The menu and the storage window can be resized by dragging the grip in their

bottom-right corner; the size is remembered ([Menu] Width / Height, [Storage] Width /

Height).

Defaults and keys are also editable in BepInEx\config\liekos47.valheimvanillaplus.cfg, or from the menu's

More tab (Open config file / Reload config file).

Look ([Menu] Theme, picked at the top of the menu): everything the mod lets you click or

type in (the menu, the storage window, the sign editor panel, the craft search box) is drawn with

one theme. Valheim (default) uses the game's own font and the button, text-field and panel

pictures of the game's "Enter text" box; Dark and Light are flat colors; Classic is Unity's

gray. Markers drawn over the world (waypoints, radar, sign search, FPS) keep their own colors.

Features

  • Clear button – a "Clear" button in the game's "Enter text" box (signs, names, portal tags),

left of Cancel, that empties the field and keeps it focused. [Interface] ClearButton, default on.

  • FPS counter – frames per second in the top-left corner, averaged over half a second: green

from 50, yellow from 25, red below. [Interface] ShowFps, default off (menu → Interface).

  • World seed – menu → More shows the name, seed, seed number and generator version of the

world you are in, with a "Copy seed to clipboard" button. Works on servers too (see How it works).

  • Sign editor – while you edit a sign, a panel next to the text box gives buttons for what

signs already understand but the game has no UI for: colors (palette, RGB sliders, hex), bold /

italic / underline / strike / highlight, size, alignment, spacing, fonts, two-tone letters,

symbols, arrows and icons. The result is ordinary sign text, so other players see it withou

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:
