About AzuCraftyBoxesBuildingOnly
From ThunderstoreChoose when nearby chests supply building, crafting and machines. One-ingredient recipes use inventory first, then eligible chests. Adds recipe-unlock safeguards, a config-reload fix and optimized recipe checks. Requires AzuCraftyBoxes 1.8.19.
AzuCraftyBoxes Fixes & Config
Choose whether your character can use nearby chests for building, crafting and filling machines. Each feature has its own switch, so you can build from storage while keeping crafting and machine inputs in your inventory.
Includes performance improvements for recipe checks, reducing repeated work and temporary allocations. Normal station requirements and material costs still apply.
Recipe unlock checks follow Valheim's normal learned-material and station requirements, including when an upgrade station is selected. Editing the config file applies your latest saved values after a short pause in file changes.
Recipes that accept any one of several ingredients use your inventory first, then eligible nearby chests for the missing amount when chest crafting is enabled. Materials can be split across chests but must all be the same quality. These recipes respect exclusions and Leave One Item, and failed or cancelled crafts do not withdraw chest materials.
This addon requires official AzuCraftyBoxes 1.8.19. It also retains support for the previously checked fedorovdgap 1.8.18 rebuild when installed manually. Use one base mod at a time.
Install
Install the addon, AzuCraftyBoxes and BepInExPack Valheim on the server and every client. Import this ZIP through your mod manager, or copy its BepInEx folder into your game folder. Close the game and stop the server before updating; keep one copy of the addon DLL.
Your settings are stored in BepInEx/config/local.valheim.azucraftyboxesbuildingonly.cfg. Each player's choices remain local. The server checks addon installation and version.
Controls
| Feature | Default | Shortcut | | --- | --- | --- | | Build from nearby chests | On | F8 | | Craft from nearby chests | Off | F9 | | Fill machines from nearby chests | Off | F10 |
Shortcuts can be changed or set to None. SuperSampling (DSR) also uses F8 by default; remap one shortcut if you use both mods.
Shortcuts pause while you type in chat, use the console, or have a text-entry dialog open. Rebinding a toggle to a letter key will no longer change your settings while entering text.
Turning off the master switch returns feature control to AzuCraftyBoxes. Recipe-unlock, ingredient and API fixes stay active. The extra building-consumption check runs only while the master switch and building from nearby chests are on. Chest use still follows AzuCraftyBoxes' range, access, exclusion and leave-one settings. Exact keys are listed in CONFIG_REFERENCE.md.
Compatibility
- Checked with Valheim 1.0.20, BepInExPack 5.4.2351 and official AzuCraftyBoxes 1.8.19.
- Unrecognized base versions are rejected until their APIs have been checked.
- Build Camera is optional. A camera compatibility warning does not stop the addon's required startup checks.
- AzuAutoStore keeps its own storage rules. If it requires an item already in a chest, enable CraftyBoxes' Leave One Item setting to preserve that restocking template.
- Mods that change crafting yields for recipes that accept any one ingredient may conflict with this addon's output calculation.
Troubleshooting
Look for Loaded successfully: AzuCraftyBoxes Fixes & Config 1.6.5 and Base profile=Official1819 in BepInEx/LogOutput.log. If dependency-health checks fail, the addon stays inactive and logs the reason.
Version 1.6.5 fixes ingredient allocation for recipes that accept one ingredient, adds recipe-discovery safeguards and fixes rapid config-file reloads. Your existing settings and key bindings are preserved. Update the server and every client together.
