Manual Installation

1. Install BepInEx for Valheim.

2. Download and extract Nearby Crafting.

3. Place NearbyCrafting.dll in:

   Valheim/BepInEx/plugins/NearbyCrafting/

4. Launch Valheim with BepInEx.

The configuration file will be generated automatically after the first launch.

Configuration

Configuration is located at:

BepInEx/config/com.mikeg.valheim.nearbycrafting.cfg

The default container range is 20 meters.

Available options include:

• Enable or disable Nearby Crafting.
• Change the container detection range.
• Include or exclude world/non-player-built containers.
• Include or exclude moving containers.
• Enable or disable the crafting requirement indicator fix.
• Enable diagnostic logging.

Debugging

If you encounter a problem, debug logging can be enabled in the configuration file:

DebugLogging = true

For detailed container detection information:

DebugContainerDetails = true

Debug information is written to the BepInEx log.

Detailed container logging can generate a large amount of output and should normally remain disabled.

Compatibility

Designed for Valheim 1.0+.

Nearby Crafting currently supports normal crafting recipes.

It does not currently pull materials for:

• Building
• Smelters
• Kilns
• Fires
• Carts
• Ships

Special recipes that require only one of multiple possible ingredients are not currently supported.

Multiplayer

Multiplayer support is currently considered experimental.

For the best experience, use Nearby Crafting in single-player or when hosting the world yourself.
