VBLK
A vanilla-minded Valheim quality-of-life modpack with curated defaults.
About this mod Author’s original text
VBLK 1.1.0
VBLK is a private, vanilla-minded Valheim quality-of-life pack. It reduces repetitive input and building friction without adding resource multipliers, weight discounts, unrestricted portals, craft-from-containers, automatic fueling, or other broad progression shortcuts.
Required installation method
- Mod Manager or r2modman, create a new Valheim profile named VBLK_1_1_0.
- Install VBLK 1.1.0 into that empty profile.
- Launch the game through the mod manager.
Do not update the old VBLK_server profile or install this pack over another modded profile. dependencies are additive: installing a modpack does not remove unrelated mods or stale configuration files, and it cannot prevent later client-side additions. A fresh profile supplies the supported clean baseline.
Included behavior
- ExtraSlots trades one flexible inventory row for progression-gated equipment, food, ammunition, miscellaneous, quick, and utility slots. Main-inventory row progression is disabled, quick slots are limited to two, slot weight remains vanilla, and throwables cannot use ammunition slots.
- Pathfinder retains dynamic visibility conditions with conservative base radii of 150 on land and 225 at sea, capped at 500.
- Better Wisps keeps a five-level, resource-gated Mistlands upgrade path.
- Advanced Terrain Modifiers keeps the precision and terrain-reset building tools with a maximum radius of 6.
- PlantEasily starts at one placement, can be adjusted up to ten concurrent placements, consumes stamina and durability, prevents invalid/overlapping placement, and leaves bulk harvest and automatic replant disabled.
- ComfyAutoRepair repairs eligible equipment only when the appropriate crafting station is used.
- QuickStackPlus searches within 5 metres and moves only items matching existing container contents. Smart Storage, player-inventory sorting, and permanent junk deletion shortcuts are disabled; the chest Sort button remains available.
- MissingPieces and MoreMissingPieces expand the building-piece selection. AAA Crafting supplies amount, search, favourites, and tracking conveniences without a crafting-speed override.
Useful controls
- F1: open Configuration Manager. It starts in keybind-only filtering mode.
- F8: enable or disable PlantEasily.
- F10: enable or disable PlantEasily snapping while retaining the rest of the mod.
- Right Ctrl + arrow keys: change PlantEasily rows and columns, subject to the ten-placement cap.
- P: Quick Stack to nearby matching containers.
- Alt + Z / Alt + X: ExtraSlots quick slots.
Configuration policy
The package supplies only intentionally changed defaults under BepInEx/config. Mods that support server synchronization treat the dedicated server as authoritative when connected. PlantEasily, Configuration Manager presentation, shortcuts, QuickStack blacklist, and other client-local preferences remain trusted-group settings and can be changed locally. QuickStack blacklists start empty for every player.
This package does not implement a plugin allowlist or anti-cheat system.
Client and server note
Do not copy this complete client pack blindly to a dedicated server. PlantEasily, ConfigurationManager, and ComfyAutoRepair are client-only for the planned deployment. The eventual server package will be assembled and tested separately.
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:
