Manual Installation

This mod requires BepInEx and Jötunn.
Extract the content of VNEI/plugins into the BepInEx/plugins folder

This is a client side mod and not everyone has to use it if you are playing in multiplayer. If items or recipes from other mods are missing, please contact me.

Feature Overview

BepInEx config

The config file is generated at BepInEx/config/com.maxsch.valheim.vnei.cfg after the first launch, see there for detailed information.

Some interesting configs

  • Show Only Known: Hide unknown items and recipes to discover them while playing the game

Shortcuts

Press 'R' to view a recipe of an item while hovering over it. Works in the inventory, too.

Press LeftArrow/RightArrow to navigate through the history of last viewed items.

Search

The search bar can be used to filter items by name. It is case insensitive and searches through the localized name, the internal ID and description of the item. The search is separated by spaces and each word must be contained somewhere in the item to be displayed.

Modifier:

  • @ModName filters by mod name. @Valheim shows vanilla items or mods that contain Valheim in their name
  • -search excludes a specific key

Examples:

  • wood: shows all items where the name or description contains wood
  • @Mod @Name: shows all items where the mod name contains both Mod and Name
  • @Mod -@Name: shows all items where the mod name contains Mod but not Name
  • @Mod wood: shows all items where the mod name contains Mod and the item name or description contains wood
  • wood -iron shows all items that contain wood but not iron

UI Changes

The mod name of every item is added to the tooltip. Can be disabled in the config file.

Item Blacklist

Items can be blacklisted at BepInEx/config/com.maxsch.valheim.vnei.blacklist.txt. The internal item name has to be used, one name on every line. If an item is blacklisted it will not show up in the search and recipes using it will be disabled. Requires a restart to take effect.

Cheating

If devcommands or the no build cost world modifier are enabled, items can be right clicked to spawn them. Requires the config option Allow Cheating to be enabled as well. If the world modifier are not set, it's only possible at a local game or when the user is an admin at a server.
Shift + RightClick spawns a whole stack.
Ctrl + RightClick spawns the item ingredients instead of the item itself.

Ingame Commands

Export all indexed items as a file to the BepInEx root path:
