ExpandedPlayerInventory

ExpandedPlayerInventory

A standalone Valheim BepInEx mod that expands player inventory rows (up to 50 rows, default 20) with a built-in scrollbar and mouse-wheel scrolling support.

Known Issues & Workaround

[!NOTE]

Occasional Blank Grid on Initial Open:

• Symptom: In certain environments or heavy modded setups, opening the inventory for the very first time after joining a world, respawning, or loading into a new area may occasionally display only the wooden background panel without the item slots rendering immediately.
• Quick Solution: Simply close (Tab or Esc) and reopen the inventory once. This forces the UI layout to synchronize, after which all item slots, graphics, and scrolling will render smoothly and normally for the remainder of your session.

Features

• Configurable player inventory rows (4 to 50 rows).
• Integrated Valheim-themed scrollbar.
• Mouse scroll wheel and Gamepad navigation support.
• Fully standalone: can be used with or without ValheimPlus.

Configuration

Configuration file is generated at BepInEx/config/ckforgame.ExpandedPlayerInventory.cfg after first launch:

• playerInventoryRows: Number of player inventory rows (min 4, max 50, default 20).
• scrollSensitivity: Mouse wheel scroll sensitivity (min 50, max 1500, default 350). Higher values scroll faster with less wheel movement.
• rememberScrollPosition: Remember the last scroll position when opening the inventory, instead of always jumping back to the top (default true).

Compatibility with ValheimPlus

[!IMPORTANT]

If you are using ValheimPlus, please ensure inventoryRows in your ValheimPlus configuration (valheim_plus.cfg) is set to 4 (the vanilla default) or leave the [Player] inventory expansion disabled.

Letting ValheimPlus expand inventory rows simultaneously will conflict with this mod's scrollbar positioning and grid layout management. Use ExpandedPlayerInventory's configuration to specify your desired rows instead.

Changelog

• v1.2.0:
• Feature: Added Scroll Position Memory (rememberScrollPosition, default true), keeping your scroll view intact across inventory toggles and chest looting.
