Guild Chest

One world. One shared stash.

Guild Chest adds a gold-decorated chest that connects to one shared 32-slot inventory across your Valheim world. Build access points at your main base, mining camps, and distant outposts to reach the same supplies wherever you adventure.

Features

• Every Guild Chest accesses the same 32 slots (8 × 4), including when other

access points are far away or unloaded.

• Additional chests add access points, not capacity. Each world has its own stash.
• Metals are accepted. Item quality, durability, crafter information, and custom

data use Valheim's serialization; stacks merge using vanilla rules.

• One player can access the inventory at a time. Normal ward permissions apply

at the chest you open. Transfers apply after the host acknowledges them.

• Drag, split, quick-transfer, Take All, and Stack All use the normal inventory

window. Move items to your player inventory before using or dropping them.

• Contents are saved in the host/server's world save. Destroying any chest

refunds its construction materials normally and never drops shared contents. Destroying the last chest keeps the stash saved, including across restarts. Rebuild a Guild Chest in that world to access it again.

One shared inventory, with room for metals and supplies.

Build recipe

Use the hammer near a workbench. Guild Chest appears immediately after the reinforced chest in the hammer menu.

| Material | Amount | | --- | ---: | | Fine wood | 20 | | Iron | 10 | | Surtling cores | 2 | | Coins | 250 |

Find the gold chest in the hammer menu; the recipe is shown below it.

Add an access point wherever you build.

Installation and updates

Install Guild Chest and both required dependencies on every client and the host/server. Use matching Guild Chest versions and restart after updates. For a dedicated server, stop it before replacing files.

• BepInExPack Valheim 5.4.2351
• Jötunn 2.30.2

Use a compatible mod manager, or install the dependencies using their manual instructions and extract the release ZIP's BepInEx folder into each Valheim installation. Both GuildChest.dll and GuildChest.Core.dll belong together in BepInEx/plugins/GuildChest. Download reviewed builds from Hexium, Nexus Mods, Thunderstore, or GitHub Releases. Keep item mods installed on the host and all clients when storing their items.

Guild Chest supports solo, player-hosted, and dedicated-server use on PCs with BepInEx. Console clients cannot load the chest. The current build reference is Valheim 1.0.20 (Steam Dedicated Server build 25909431), verified on 2026-10-17. Automated unit tests are game-independent. The user confirmed live gameplay on Valheim 1.0.20. Native compatibility checks also pass on Valheim 1.0.20, including AzuCraftyBoxes 1.8.28, which the user confirmed in game. Historical fixture checks on Valheim 1.0.16 (Steam build 25527701) cover registration, recipes, transfers, and persistence. See the validation record and detailed gameplay scenarios.

Configuration and optional integrations

After the first launch, configure BepInEx/config/randenko.GuildChest.cfg:

[Compatibility]
Automation range = 20

The host enforces this maximum distance in metres for storage-mod transfers and resource previews (allowed range: 1–100). Configure clients and host consistently; an integration's own range can restrict it further. Normal chest interaction keeps its usual range. Capacity and construction costs are fixed.

Optional adapters were tested in the native fixture with AzuAutoStore 3.1.7 and AzuCraftyBoxes 1.8.27 and 1.8.28. Neither is required or bundled. AutoStore supports player hotkey/single-item deposits; CraftyBoxes supports nearby resource previews, crafting supply, and building after acknowledged transfers. AutoStore ground-drop automation and CraftyBoxes fuel/ore feeding and Epic Loot consumers exclude guild storage. Other storage mods need explicit integration. See compatibility and limitations.
