CraftMenu
The crafting window rebuilt: Craft / Upgrade / Dismantle tabs, item categories, search, card grid with pages, favourites, a 3D portrait, set bonus, have/need resources, craft several at once.CraftMenu - the crafting window rebuilt
The game's crafting panel replaced by a window of its own: Craft / Upgrade / Dismantle tabs, item categories, search, a grid of recipe cards with pages, favourites, a card of the chosen item with a turning 3D portrait, the set bonus, resources have / need, and crafting several at once.
Client-side BepInEx mod for Valheim. Works on its own, no dependencies besides BepInEx.
Features
- Three tabs: Craft and Upgrade are the game's own (the same recipes, stations, costs, cheats and upgraders); Dismantle is new - an item from your inventory goes and a part of its resources comes back.
- Categories in a row: All, Melee, Ranged, Magic, Arrows and bolts, Shields, Armor; More turns the row to the rest (Tools, Food, Meads, Materials, Trophies, Other). How many stand in the row is a setting.
- Toolbar: search by name, grid or list, Only available, sorting (default, name, station level, biome, weight), favourites only.
- Cards: the item's icon and name, a small biome badge (the boss trophy of the biome its materials come from), a star for favourites, the quality on Upgrade and Dismantle. Pages instead of scrolling, the total count at the bottom.
- The item's card: a live turning 3D model (or the game's icon), the style button for items with variants, name, description, the stats the game shows, the full set bonus as a block of its own with the effect's icon, Required with have / need in green or red and the station with its level.
- − N + and Craft: makes N at once (the game's own multi-craft, so skill, bonus items and effects work as usual). The progress bar runs over the button; a click on it cancels.
- Dismantle: the resources of every quality level the item has, 50 % by default (a setting), rounded down; needs the recipe's station at the item's quality level, like making it. Equipped items are left alone. A stack can be dismantled N at a time.
- The station's icon, name and level in the header; the game's repair hammer beside it.
- Favourites are kept with the character.
- The look is the mod's own sprite atlas, built into the DLL (a
CraftMenu/skinfolder beside it with your ownatlas.png,atlas.tsv,wood.pngreplaces it); the fonts and the item icons are the game's. - English and Russian, following the game's language.
Installation
- Install BepInExPack for Valheim.
- Put
CraftMenu.dllintoValheim/BepInEx/plugins/(a mod manager does it for you). - Launch the game and open the inventory or a workbench.
To go back to the game's window: set Enabled = false in BepInEx/config/chistix.craftmenu.cfg and restart.
Compatibility
- Client only - only you need it; the server and other players don't. No network messages of its own.
- Crafting and upgrading go through the game's own code, so mods that change recipes, stations or costs keep working.
- Other mods that replace the crafting window - use one at a time.

BepInEx/config/chistix.craftmenu.cfg (most of them are also in the window):
