VNEI - Valheim Not Enough Items

About

VNEI shows all items and recipes from the vanilla game and other mods inside an ingame GUI for easy access.

Manual Installation

This mod requires BepInEx, Jötunn and YamlDotNet.\

Extract the content of VNEI/plugins into the BepInEx/plugins folder

This is a client side mod and not everyone has to use it if you are playing in multiplayer.

If items or recipes from other mods are missing, please contact me.

Feature Overview

BepInEx config

The config file is generated at BepInEx/config/com.maxsch.valheim.vnei.cfg after the first launch, see there for detailed information.

Some interesting configs

  • Show Only Known: Hide unknown items and recipes to discover them while playing the game

Shortcuts

Press 'R' to view a recipe of an item while hovering over it.

Works in the inventory, too.

Press LeftArrow/RightArrow to navigate through the history of last viewed items.

Search

The search bar can be used to filter items by name.

It is case insensitive and searches through the localized name, the internal ID and description of the item.

The search is separated by spaces and each word must be contained somewhere in the item to be displayed.

Modifier:

  • @ModName filters by mod name. @Valheim shows vanilla items or mods that contain Valheim in their name
  • #itemtype filters by item type. Substrings may be used. Available: None, Material, Consumable, OneHandedWeapon, Bow, Shield, Helmet, Chest, Ammo, Customization, Legs, Hands, Trophy, TwoHandedWeapon, Torch, Misc, Shoulder, Utility, Tool, Attach_Atgeir, Fish, TwoHandedWeaponLeft, AmmoNonEquipable
  • ^ingredient filters by item ingredient. The item must have an ingredient with the given name/description in any recipe
  • -search excludes a specific key

Examples:

  • wood: shows all items where the name or description contains wood
  • @Epic @Loot: shows all items that are added from Epic Loot or adjacent mods
  • @Mod -@Name: shows all items where the mod name contains Mod but not Name
  • @Mod wood: shows all items where the mod name contains Mod and the item name or description contains wood
  • wood -iron shows all items that contain wood but not iron
  • #weapon: shows all items that are weapons
  • ^carrot: shows all items that can be crafted with carrot (or any ingredient that contains carrot in its name/description)

Item Blacklist

Items can be blacklisted at BepInEx/config/com.maxsch.valheim.vnei.blacklist.txt.

The internal item name has to be used, one name on every line.

If an item is blacklisted it will not show up in the search and recipes using it will be disabled.

Requires a restart to take effect.

Cheating

If devcommands or the no build cost world modifier are enabled, items can be right clicked to spawn them.

Requires the config option Allow Cheating to be enabled as well.

If the world modifier are not set, it's only possible at a local game or when the user is an admin at a server.\

Shift + RightClick spawns a whole stack.\

Ctrl + RightClick spawns the item ingredients instead of the item itself.

Ingame Commands

Export all indexed items as a file to the BepInEx root path:

| Command | Description |

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

| vnei_export_csv [comma|semicolon|tab] | table format, can be read by Excel or similar programs. The separator is optional and comma by default |

| vnei_export_yaml [exclude_item1,...] [exclude_mod1,...] [include_mod1,...] | creates a CLLC ItemConfig.yml like file with the option to include certain items or exclude/include certain mods.

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:
