Storage Sign

A buildable sign that shows exactly what's inside the chests around it, plus a full storage overview GUI to manage all those chests in one place. Build a sign near your storage room and never play "which chest did I put it in?" again.

A Valheim BepInEx 5 plugin built on Jotunn.

Features

• Storage Sign build piece (Hammer > Misc), 5x Wood — the vanilla text editor never opens; instead the sign face shows a live summary: N chests and the top items as name: count.
• Overview GUI: interact with the sign (E) or press Alt+O to open a full-screen view of every chest within range — item and chest lists, with actions:
  • Sort Name / Type / Count — re-sort the item list.
  • Sort All — re-sort each chest's inventory.
  • Consolidate — merge partial stacks across chests.
  • Quick Stack — pull matching items from your inventory into the chests.
  • Move — move all stacks of a selected item into a selected chest.

Requirements

• BepInEx 5 (denikson-BepInExPack_Valheim)
• Jotunn 2.30.x (ValheimModding-Jotunn)

Installation

1. Install through your mod manager (recommended).
2. Manual: drop StorageSign.dll into BepInEx\plugins\.

How to use

1. Restart the game after installing (the build piece is registered at startup).
2. Build a Storage Sign (Hammer > Misc) and place it near your chests.
3. The sign face continuously summarizes the nearest chests (up to SignRange m away).
4. Interact with the sign (E) — or press Alt+O to open the nearest sign's overview — to see all items and chests in range.
5. Use Sort, Consolidate, Quick Stack, or select an item + chest and press Move. Esc closes the GUI.

Configuration

Generated on first launch at BepInEx\config\com.storagesign.storagesign.cfg:

Section	Key	Default	Description
General	Enabled	true	Master toggle.
General	AddBuildPiece	true	Register the piece (restart).
General	SignRange	12	Chest scan radius around a sign (m).
General	RefreshInterval	3	Seconds between sign-face refreshes.
General	SignMaxLines	6	Item lines shown on the sign face.
General	SortMode	Name	Default sort (Name/Type/Count).
Controls	OpenHotkey	Alt+O	Open the overview for the nearest sign.

Notes

• Ownership: Quick Stack uses the vanilla Container.StackAll() RPC (server-safe, no ownership needed). Sort/Consolidate/Move claim chest ownership locally — chests that can't be claimed are skipped and reported. This deliberately bypasses ward/guard-stone access checks (it's a personal organizing tool).
• The vanilla sign text editor does not open on this piece (its Sign component is removed on purpose).
• Must be installed on both server and clients (Jotunn piece sync).
