PackPanel

A bigger, better organised inventory, with labelled slots always on screen.

Features

A grid from your two hands up to 12 x 10, with Base Carry Weight and Keep On Death (choose which slot groups you keep).
Labelled slots on two tabs, Gear and Consumables, plus a purse, key ring and tacklebox (below).
Stat sheet: your stats as the game counts them; hover a line for its breakdown.
Auto Equip: gear in its slot is always worn; right click gear in a chest to wear it.
Eight backpacks and four tackleboxes; each tacklebox is crafted from the one before (below).
Armour and weight by the minimap, a bigger crafting panel, a brown or timber look, darker at night.
With OpenKeep 1.8.0+, its buttons join the inventory; quick stack and sort skip the slots.
With EliteCrafting or Epic Loot, backpacks can be magic; the stat sheet lists their effects.

Slots

Head, Chest, Legs, Back: your armour and cape, worn; a Feet slot joins them for EliteEquipment's boots.
Backpack: wear one of the eight backpacks below.
Utility: up to five belts, wishbones and the like, all worn at once.
Trinket: your worn adrenaline trinket.
Food: Z eats everything in them you can eat now.
Mead: Left Alt + 1 to 5 drinks that slot's mead, shown under your health bar.
Ammo: arrows and bolts go here first; the bow uses them left to right.
Coin purse: coins go in first, and traders pay from it.
Key ring: keys gather on a small round ring; doors still find them.
Tacklebox: holds a tacklebox, whose cells keep your bait.

Backpacks

Worn on your back for every player to see. Their cells join the bottom of your grid. Each has levels 1 to 4, upgraded at its station: a worn pack slows you by 8, 6, 4 or 2 %, and what it holds weighs 100, 95, 90 or 85 %.

Install

Needed on the server and every client. Install with r2modman or the Thunderstore app, or put PackPanel.dll in BepInEx/plugins.

Not compatible with mods that resize the inventory or add equipment slots, like ExtraSlots.
Removing the mod loses what lies outside the game's grid, every backpack and tacklebox, and keys above one per stack: empty them first.
Lowering Inventory Width, Key Stack or slot counts, or taking off a pack, drops what no longer fits.

Configuration

BepInEx/config/milkyteam.packpanel.cfg, plus PackPanel.Backpacks.yml and PackPanel.Tackleboxes.yml (format: https://github.com/geraldjglasgow/ValheimMods/blob/main/PackPanel/CLAUDE.md#backpack-and-tacklebox-yaml-files). Every setting is described in the file and applies without a restart; the server's values bind every player, except your look and keys. Translate: save a copy of English.yml as PackPanel.translations.<Language>.yml in BepInEx/config.
