Safe Pouch

Safe Pouch

Keep your essentials. Keep adventuring.

Bring a little peace of mind to your next expedition. Safe Pouch adds personal storage beneath your inventory that stays with your character when you die—and follows you between worlds.

Protect your favorite weapon, save your coins, or keep a few precious resources ready for the journey home.

Small pouch. Big possibilities.

• Survive the corpse run: pouch contents stay with you after death.
• Make it your size: choose 1–28 slots, with four by default. The panel grows to fit and adds a new row after every seven slots.
• Keep your gear equipped: weapons, armor, tools, and accessories can stay equipped while safely stored. Equipped markers and durability bars keep you informed.
• Repair without unpacking: the normal repair button includes worn pouch gear at the appropriate workbench or forge.
• Put your supplies to work: fire pouch ammo, build and craft with stored resources, and fuel or load world objects without withdrawing first. Regular inventory supplies are used first unless you select pouch ammo.
• Use food and potions: Shift + right-click a pouch consumable to use it directly.
• Stack up your supplies: choose a regular-item stack limit from 1–99,999 per slot, with 99,999 as the default.
• Choose your portal rules: carry precious cargo through portals, or enable normal portal restrictions for the pouch. Restricted stackable items have their own 1–99,999 limit, defaulting to one per slot.
• Travel as light as you like: set pouch weight anywhere from 0% to 100% of normal weight.
• Feel at home in Valheim: native UI styling follows the inventory's lighting, and adaptive placement accommodates extended inventory panels, including Quartermaster's sort button.
• Share your server's rules: servers with Safe Pouch automatically set pouch size, weight percentage, stack limits, and portal restrictions.

Optional server install: play with your own settings on servers without Safe Pouch, or install it on the server to sync pouch rules with clients. Use 0.7.0 or newer on both ends to sync all five settings.

Easy to use

Install with Thunderstore Mod Manager and launch Modded. BepInEx is included as a required dependency.

| Action | Control | | --- | --- | | Deposit | Click an inventory item, then a pouch slot. | | Rearrange / swap | Click a pouch item, then another pouch slot. Different items swap directly; compatible stacks merge if there is room. | | Withdraw to a chosen slot | Click a pouch item, then an inventory slot. | | Quick withdraw | Right-click a pouch item. Overflow stays safely in the pouch. | | Equip / unequip or select ammo | Shift + right-click gear or ammo in the pouch. | | Use food / potions | Shift + right-click a consumable in the pouch. | | Repair pouch gear | Use the normal repair button at the required crafting station. |

Normal equipment-slot limits apply. Ammo and resources are consumed when used, just like regular inventory supplies; crafted output goes into the regular inventory. Pouch gear can be repaired in place, with normal station and level requirements. Withdraw gear for upgrades, and items for chest transfers. The pouch hides while a chest is open; controls currently support mouse input.

Your pouch, your rules

After your first launch, edit BepInEx/config/local.valheim.safepouch.cfg with the game closed:

[Pouch]
SlotCount = 4
WeightPercent = 100
RegularStackLimit = 99999
PortalRestrictedStackLimit = 1
BlockPortalWithRestrictedItems = false

[Interface]
Gap = 8
VerticalOffset = 0

SlotCount: 1–28. WeightPercent: 0 = weightless, 50 = half weight, 100 = normal weight. Gap and VerticalOffset adjust placement; negative offsets move the pouch up. Restart after editing.

Both stack limits accept 1–99,999. Non-stackable gear always stays one per slot. Reducing capacity preserves occupied extra slots; lowering a stack limit preserves larger existing stacks for withdrawal, and they cannot accept more items until below the new limit. Withdrawals use normal inventory stack sizes.

BlockPortalWithRestrictedItems: false (default) allows pouch cargo through portals. Set true to make restricted pouch items block ordinary portals. Portals and world settings that allow all items still work; restricted items in the regular inventory always follow the game's rules.

On a server with Safe Pouch, its SlotCount, WeightPercent, RegularStackLimit, PortalRestrictedStackLimit, and BlockPortalWithRestrictedItems take precedence while connected. Your local config file is preserved and takes effect again after disconnecting; UI placement stays personal. In-game config edits on the server sync live. For file edits, restart the server.

The server supplies settings to participating clients; pouch items remain saved with your character. This is config synchronization, not an anti-cheat system.

Before uninstalling, empty the pouch and log out normally. Pouch contents are saved with your character and require this mod to access.

Developed with AI assistance. If you save portal-restricted stacks larger than one, keep using 0.6.0 or newer; older versions cannot load those stacks. Multiplayer verification of the new limits is ongoing.
