CraftSort

CraftSort

Sort crafting recipes by stats — one click, instant order.

CraftSort adds a small icon panel next to Valheim crafting stations. Use it to sort armor, weapons, shields, food, and new recipes without searching by hand.

What's new in 1.3.3

Today's update focuses on Valheim 0.221.13 / Unity 6 compatibility and UI polish:

• Fixed the vanilla Food Preparation Table being detected as a combat/crafting bench.
• Food stations now show the food panel correctly: Preparation Table, Cauldron, Mead Cauldron, ovens/grills and similar modded stations.
• Improved food/combat station detection by reading recipe stats instead of relying on fragile item type checks.
• Fixed armor and block sorting noise from Valheim default values.
• Updated the 2H filter for current Valheim weapon types.
• Fixed resize behavior for the button panels:
• handle stays on the panel edge;
• panel no longer drifts after releasing the handle;
• food and combat panels both clamp to their real button width;
• old oversized saved widths are corrected automatically.
• Made the New tab cleaner with a small yellow count badge.
• Hardened AAA Crafting compatibility fallback.
• Hardened viewed-recipe file loading/deleting.
• Reduced station detection log spam.

Features

• Food and combat panels — CraftSort automatically shows the right panel for the station you opened.
• One-click sorting — sort by armor, block, damage type, food health, stamina, eitr, name or new recipes.
• Weapon filters — 1H / 2H filter buttons can be combined with any combat sort.
• New recipe indicator — yellow dots mark recipes you have not clicked yet.
• Clean button — marks recipes as viewed and clears yellow dots.
• Drag & resize — move each panel and choose how many columns you want.
• Separate food/combat layout — both panels remember their own position and width.
• Per-button config — hide buttons you do not use.
• Per-character persistence — viewed recipes are tracked separately per character.
• AAA Crafting compatible — sorts the full recipe list before AAA pagination.
• Client-side only — no server installation required.
