AzuCraftyBoxes Fixes & Config 1.6.0

Choose separately whether your character uses nearby chests for building, crafting and filling machines. This update supports official Azumatt AzuCraftyBoxes 1.8.19 on Valheim 1.0.12 while retaining the existing material and crafting safeguards.

What changed

• Official AzuCraftyBoxes 1.8.19 now passes the addon's supported-version checks when the base mod has completed startup successfully.
• Official 1.8.19 handles fermenter transfers itself. The addon's older replacement is applied only to the supported legacy fedorovdgap 1.8.18 rebuild.
• Ore metadata handling remains: chest-fed ore keeps the cheated-item flag supplied by the consumed materials.
• Existing configuration, hotkeys, plugin identity and DLL filename are unchanged.

Install or update

Install this version on the server and every client, together with:

• denikson-BepInExPack_Valheim-5.4.2350
• Azumatt-AzuCraftyBoxes-1.8.19

Close the game and stop the server before replacing an installed DLL. Keep only one copy of AzuCraftyBoxesBuildingOnly.dll in each profile. Keep only one AzuCraftyBoxes base mod: remove or disable the old fedorovdgap package when using the official package. Both bases use the same plugin identity.

Existing settings remain in BepInEx/config/local.valheim.azucraftyboxesbuildingonly.cfg. Do not copy another player's configuration unless you want their choices. The server checks addon installation/version, but each player's feature settings remain local.

Manual legacy installations may continue using fedorovdgap AzuCraftyBoxes 1.8.18 with this addon. The packaged dependency now selects the official release. Unknown older/newer base versions are rejected until their contracts have been checked.

Controls

Setting	Default	Hotkey
Building from nearby chests	On	F8
Crafting from nearby chests	Off	F9
Machines from nearby chests	Off	F10

Hotkeys are configurable; set a shortcut to None to disable it. The master setting turns off the addon's feature filter and returns control to normal AzuCraftyBoxes behavior. Existing material/API safeguards remain installed. The addon respects the base mod's own enabled state, distance limits, access rules, exclusions and leave-one policy. See CONFIG_REFERENCE.md for exact configuration keys.

Other mods

AzuAutoStore is optional and has its own deposit, ground-pickup, existing-item and favorite settings. This addon does not change those settings or implement AutoStore's storage rules. Current validation targets AzuAutoStore 3.1.4; see docs/VALIDATION.md for executed checks and limits.

If AutoStore requires an existing item in the chest, crafting away the last item removes that chest's template for restocking it. Use CraftyBoxes' Leave One Item option to preserve that template, or turn off AutoStore's Must Have Existing Item To Pull option if you want broader storage behavior. This update preserves your choices.

The old AzuAutoStoreCompat bridge is not needed for this current setup and is not recommended as an installation step. Its published legacy behavior suppresses some AutoStore favorite/MultiUserChest patches. This release does not modify that helper or claim its compatibility with current AutoStore.

Build Camera remains optional. An incompatible camera produces a separate warning and does not stop the addon's required startup checks. That warning does not repair the camera or establish that free-camera placement works.

Startup and testing

Look for Loaded successfully: AzuCraftyBoxes Fixes & Config 1.6.0 and Base profile=Official1819 in the client and server logs. A dependency-health failure means this addon is inactive even if the game can join the server. Do not treat its presence in a mod list as proof that its controls are running.

The release DLL builds against the actual Valheim 1.0.12 managed assemblies. Focused managed checks passed against both supported CraftyBoxes assemblies. A real dedicated-server/client test with official CraftyBoxes and AutoStore passed six basic control/storage checks and ten craft/machine checks, including server verification of chest contents and machine item flags. See docs/VALIDATION.md for the exact checks and gameplay limits.
