InventoryLink

InventoryLink

> I use AI to review code and assist with optimization and integrity; I manually test and review every mod, and all decisions and code remain my own.

Current release: 1.0.10, rebuilt against the current Valheim 1.0 assemblies.

InventoryLink is a client-side Valheim mod that links nearby accessible containers to building and crafting. Requirements show the combined materials available to you, and only the missing amount is pulled after placement or crafting succeeds.

The same DLL also includes safe, one-click sorting for player and container inventories.

Development note

This mod is human-directed and built from human structure, concepts, ideas, client/server testing, and gameplay improvement goals. AI is used as an assisting tool for code analysis, optimization review, implementation refinement, and verification support, while final decisions, packaging, and in-game validation remain under human direction.

Created and maintained by R4V9N1.

Features

• Counts nearby chest contents for hammer building and normal workbench crafting or upgrades.
• Pulls only the shortfall after the action succeeds; your carried materials are used first.
• Mirrors Valheim’s normal/upgrader resource filtering before linked materials can be paid.
• Searches within a configurable 50-metre radius and processes containers nearest-first.
• Revalidates wards, private-container access, in-use state, and container readiness when counting and again before linked payment.
• Always excludes LightMyFire coal and resin automation barrels and tombstones from linked crafting pulls.
• Gives the workbench, stonecutter, forge, black forge, Galdr table, and artisan table the same configurable build-range minimum (50 metres by default).
• Adds vanilla-style Inv. Sort and Sort buttons plus a configurable keyboard shortcut.
• Leaves equipped-capable items in their existing cells while organizing stackable items; Inv. Sort never touches your hotbar.

Installation

Install with a Thunderstore mod manager, or copy InventoryLink.dll into:

<Valheim>/BepInEx/plugins/InventoryLink/InventoryLink.dll

This is a client-side mod. Install it for each player who wants its building, crafting, and inventory UI features.

Configuration

After the first launch, BepInEx creates:

BepInEx/config/r4v9n1.inventorylink.cfg
BepInEx/config/r4v9n1.inventorylink.autosort.cfg

The auto-pull radius, access checks, extended station range, logging, sort buttons, button offsets, and sort shortcut are configurable.

Notes

Recipes using Valheim's special “require only one ingredient” mode retain vanilla inventory behavior to avoid unsafe ingredient selection.
