VanillaBarrelPlus
Adds a visual contents display to Valheim's vanilla barrel container. Supports 203 in-game item prefabs.Changelog
1.0.0 — 31.10.2026
Initial public release of VanillaBarrelPlus.
- Added a visual contents display for Valheim's existing vanilla barrel.
- Added support for 203 vanilla item prefabs: resources, ingredients, berries, mushrooms, selected meats and fish portions, fishing bait, arrows, ballista ammunition, and wood.
- Added the localized Display Contents checkbox to the barrel window. It hides the lid and shows a pile of models of the selected item.
- Positioned the checkbox outside the container window, below its bottom-left corner.
- Added selection by the item with the highest total quantity across all stacks. The display updates automatically when the most abundant item changes.
- Added an optional mode that selects the item in the first occupied inventory slot.
- Pile volume does not depend on item quantity. Visual copy counts and placement are determined by the selected item's profile.
- Added item-specific scale, density, height, and rotation profiles, with an additional layer near the rim for selected items.
- Added deterministic placement and model variation for each barrel and item, preserving the arrangement after reloading.
- Added per-barrel checkbox persistence in the world save and synchronization through the container's network data.
- Added Boolean checkbox settings for enabling the mod, selecting the first occupied slot, and always displaying contents in all barrels. Existing Enabled/Disabled and 0/1 values are converted automatically.
- Added interface translations for 36 languages, selected according to the game's language setting.
- Visual copies use in-game meshes and materials without item physics or gameplay components. Shader sway is disabled for barley and wood copies.
- Preserved vanilla inventories and barrel contents. Uninstalling the mod leaves barrels working normally and only removes the additional contents display.
