Viking Crafting & Quick Deposit
Spend less time carrying supplies between your pockets and your chests. Deposit matching items, restock a chosen loadout, craft and build using nearby storage, and find where you put things.
Built primarily for a private local Valheim server, with configurable settings for other servers. Compatibility with every mod combination is not guaranteed. AI-generated software.
Your base, in one window
Press Ctrl+F to search loaded, accessible storage. Item cards show icons, stack counts, rarity, quality, enchantments, chest names and distances. Filter by rarity or search item names, prefab names and effects; container names and types do not match the search. Sort by name, nearest chest or largest stack. All matching stacks are available in one scrollable list. Contents load when opened; use Refresh storage to update that snapshot. Background recipe discovery does not periodically replace the list.
Locate marks the chest for 20 seconds with a map ping, aligned outline and distance marker, including moving boat and cart cargo. Search captures keyboard input so typing M does not open the map, and scrolling the window does not zoom the game camera.
The Deposit & restock rules tab sets item blacklists and precise carried totals. Protected slots reserves inventory positions. Equipped items, quest items and protected slots are excluded from quick deposit; hotbar protection defaults on. Enchanted items and equipment require explicit opt-in. Different item metadata is never treated as interchangeable merely because the names match.
Item-location index
Already-placed chests are indexed when you join; new and newly loaded chests are added automatically. Deposits, withdrawals and other inventory changes refresh only the affected chest. A low-frequency background repair runs in small batches to catch external changes. Search immediately shows basic item information from that same index, then enriches it with rarity and enchantments in small batches. Pending details are marked as loading, never normal. Search caches unchanged item descriptions. Refresh storage rebuilds the index from currently loaded chests; no chest rebuilding or manual item movement is needed. Range and access are checked at lookup, and contents are rechecked after ownership before anything moves. This index is a current-location cache, not a historical ledger or remote-world inventory.
Features
- Shared chest access: multiple players can view the same chest using the normal inventory interface. Transfers, splits, swaps, take-all, stack-all, sorting and chest settings acquire short exclusive leases and recheck the selected stacks before changing anything. A competing change cancels a stale selection rather than overwriting it. Boats and wagons use their assigned inventory network view. Right-click use and dropping from shared storage first withdraw into your bag, so they require bag space. The server controls Shared chests.Enabled; install the same version on every participant and remove other simultaneous-chest-opening mods before enabling this feature.
- Quick deposit: Period (.) puts eligible items into chests already containing that item type. Works while walking or sprinting; no automatic pickup routing. Successful deposits can show larger item icons rising above your character before arcing toward their destination. Flights default to three seconds and can be configured from two to eight seconds. Effects are local, cosmetic and capped.
- Restock: Comma (,) tops up each configured item to its chosen total, up to its maximum stack. Three foods set to 2 means carrying two of each, not withdrawing two more every time. Deposit retains these totals.
- Alt-click rules: Alt-left-click an inventory item to cycle Normal → Locked → Restock → Normal. Labels show LOCK or R:amount. These rules apply to the item type, not just one stack. Set an exact restock amount in the rules tab; the shortcut initially uses the clicked stack quantity. Protec
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:
