McCraftReach

McCraftReach

Craft and upgrade using materials from nearby containers, without pulling them out first.

What it does

Open any crafting station. Recipes you have the materials for — counting everything in containers within 50m — show as craftable, the ingredient counts include container stock, and crafting spends your own items first, then pulls the rest from the containers.

What it does NOT do (yet)

• Building pieces (hammer) still use only your inventory; this version covers the crafting

station panel (craft + upgrade).

• Recipes that require only one ingredient (requireOnlyOneIngredient, e.g. some foods)

are not covered when you hold none of the ingredient yourself.

• Smelters, kilns, cooking stations and other fuel/ore inputs are not fed from containers.

Configuration

BepInEx/config/joaorodrigues.valheim.mccraftreach.cfg

| Option | Default | What it does | |---|---|---| | Enabled | true | Master switch | | Range | 50 | Container search radius, in meters | | RespectPrivacy | true | Skip warded areas, private and group containers you don't own |

Why it does not lose or duplicate items

Removing from a container's inventory without owning its ZDO desyncs and can lose or dupe items. Before removing, McCraftReach claims the container's ZDO, forces the latest blob to sync and reloads the cache — the same protocol the game uses in RPC_TakeAllResponse — then removes, which triggers the container's own Save because we now own it.

It only ever touches your inventory's CountItems / RemoveItem while a crafting method is on the stack, so nothing outside the crafting screen is affected.

Multiplayer

Every player needs the mod. It works through ZDO ownership of the containers.

Compatibility

• Valheim 1.0.12 (network 40)
