Vanilla Inventory Plus

Vanilla Inventory Plus adds sorting buttons and Nearby Stash to Valheim's inventory and storage windows. Move buttons and stat displays to suit your layout, with panels that match the game's original style.

Features

• Sort your inventory or an open container by name, weight, or type. Click the same button again to reverse the order.
• Send matching items to nearby chests with Nearby Stash, using its button or a hotkey.
• Combine matching stacks or take everything from an open container.
• Adjust button size, spacing, and color, and choose which buttons to show.

Move buttons and stats

Hold Left Alt while dragging buttons or stat displays. Drop the sorting buttons at one of the available positions around the window.

Move armor and weight displays along the right or bottom edge, or drag them into the expanded area to use compact mode. Drag compact displays to change their order, or move them back outside to restore the original flags. Your layout is saved.

Hover over armor to see your equipped pieces and how much protection each one adds. The weight tooltip shows your remaining carry capacity.

Settings in the game

Hover near the lower-left corner of either window to reveal its controls. The arrow opens or closes the extra background area. The options button opens the settings window, where you can change button positions and choose what to show.

Use the eye button to show or hide a stat display. Reset returns it to its original position outside the window.

Compatibility

Extra Slots

With sticky snapping enabled in Extra Slots, bring its equipment window close to the right side of your inventory to join their backgrounds. Pull Extra Slots away to separate them again.

You can put compact stat displays in the space between the windows; the equipment slots keep their layout and functions.

Extra Slots is optional. Sorting and Nearby Stash leave its special slots untouched.

Other mods

Supports RecyclePlus and EconomyInfo, along with some other mods that add small panels beside the inventory.

These mods are optional. Other mods that replace the inventory interface may need additional compatibility support.
