StoreAndCraft

Your base runs with you.
Loot finds its chest. One key clears your pockets. Craft, upgrade, and build straight from storage. Feed kilns and smelters with [E], or toggle auto-fill with B. Finished bars / food / honey can auto-store with N into matching chests. Tell each station which wood or ore it is allowed to take. F10 opens a small panel for the activity log and ranges. Small / Medium / Large Storage Displays with Shift + left click scale and Shift + right click Classic/Compact layout. Build a Feed Trough so tames eat when hungry. Mark favorites with F, fill a stack with Ctrl + Middle mouse, find a stack with Y, sort with R. Alt+E opens Settings for chests and stations. Carts and ships count too.

Required on the dedicated / hosted server and every PC client (same version). Valheim 1.0 · BepInExPack 5.4.2350+. Console players via crossplay cannot load the mod.

Features

Auto-store

• Ground items are pulled into nearby chests automatically if any one player is in range of the pile. You can walk off; a buddy standing there is enough.
• Toggle ground vacuum with chat /store disable / /store enable. Dump and middle-click keep working either way.
• Default: a chest only accepts an item if that type is already inside.
• Carts and ships count as containers too.
• Player-built chests only for dump / auto-store (crypts, house spawns, and other world chests are skipped).
• Ward / private area rules still apply.

Dump & quick store

• .: dump allowed inventory stacks into matching nearby player-built chests. If the chest cannot take the whole stack, it fills what fits and leaves the rest.
• Middle mouse (inventory open): store only the hovered item.
• Ctrl + Middle mouse (inventory open): Pull Stack: fill the hovered stack from matching items in nearby chests.
• Hotbar can be skipped. Extra inventory rows and quick slots are never dumped or sorted.
• Favorites are never dumped / hover-stored.

Craft & build from chests

• Recipes and hammer pieces count nearby chest contents.
• When you craft / upgrade / build, missing mats are taken from chests directly.
• Craft / upgrade button enables when mats are in inventory or chests.
• Yellow tint on requirement text when part of the count comes from a chest.
• One item stays in each chest by default so auto-store can keep refilling. That leftover cannot be spent.
• Forge of Potential: upgrades count and spend idols in nearby chests. A single idol in a chest is enough.
• C + place (hammer): hold C while confirming a hammer build to grab that piece's materials from nearby chests into your inventory (nothing is placed).

Epic Loot

• Supports Epic Loot: chest craft/build pull, Storage Displays (Dust / Essence / Reagent / Shard / Runestone), and the Enchanting Table use nearby chest stock.
• Enchanting Table: a single Runestone in a chest still counts.

Station refill [E]

Works on smelters, charcoal kilns, cooking stations, fires / torches, fermenters, turrets, etc.:

• Pulls fuel / ore / food from nearby chests when you don't have it.
• Inventory first on manual [E]: if you already hold a valid item, that is used before chest contents.

Kiln / smelter / cooking auto-fill

• Look at a kiln, smelter, blast furnace, cooking spit, iron cooking station, stone oven, fermenter, or torch / fire with the inventory closed → B toggles auto-fill for that station.
• When fuel or ore hits 0, it sends a full load from nearby chests. Auto-fill never takes from your bag; only chests (same link, or both unlinked). Ignored / hide-only chests are skipped. Same for Shift+[E] fill-to-max.
• Then it waits until that slot is empty again. If chests are empty too, the next chest check is after 20 seconds.
• Cooking / ovens top up free slots. Stone oven door hover shows the toggle; food is added even if the under-fire is out (baking still needs fire to cook).
• Filter still applies (Wood OFF stays OFF).
• Manual [E] refill is unchanged.

Station auto-store (N)

• Look at a kiln, smelter, blast furnace, cooking spit, iron cooking station, stone oven, fermenter, or beehive with the inventory closed → N toggles auto-store. Independent from B.
• Finished bars / food / honey go into nearby chests: matching link first, then an unlinked chest that already holds the item; never a chest with a different link. Otherwise the item drops on the ground.
• Pair with B auto-fill for hands-off refining / cooking.

Station Settings (Alt+E)

• Look at a kiln, multi-input smelter, cooking station, or similar → Alt+E → Settings.
• Choose which wood / ore / food types may be pulled (also blocked from your bag on that station).
• Same menu: l1-l9 station link. Fill pulls only matching linked chests (or untagged when the station has no link).

Storage Display (Hammer)

• Build Small, Medium, or Large Storage Display.
• Small: assign with hotbar 1-8 while looking at it. Shift + left click cycles Name + Amount → No name → Icon only.
• Medium / Large: [E] → type menu. Pick several types at once. Shift + left click cycles Display Scale. Shift + right click toggles Layout Classic ↔ Compact.
• Food, Ingredients, and Epic Loot expand for subs.
• Up to 12 categories per Large board.
• Chests set to Ignore (without Show on Display) are not counted.
• Place several displays with the same selection next to each other → shared pages (1/2), (2/2), …
• Alt+R → per-display chest scan range.

Feed Trough (Hammer)

• Build a Feed Trough (Storage tab).
• Put carrots, mushrooms, berries, etc. inside. Hungry tames walk to the trough and eat, like drops on the ground. A small sparkle shows when food is inside.
• Not used by dump, auto-store, craft pull, or Storage Displays.

Favorites

• Inventory open → hover item → F.
• Star badge on the item.
• Skipped by dump and hover-store.

Rename / ignore / hide / link chests

• Look at a chest → Alt+E opens Settings.
• Ignore and Show on Display use on/off toggles:
  • Ignore on → skipped by dump / auto-store / craft / auto-fill.
  • Ignore + Show on Display → still skipped by dump/store/craft, but counted on Storage Displays.
• l1-l9 link grid on the same panel → tag the chest for a station link.
• Empty renamed chests keep their custom name.

Activity log

• F10 opens the StoreAndCraft panel. Tick Show activity log for a short log under the TopLeft status text with recent chest ↔ station moves.
• The same panel has sliders and number fields for every range. Save applies them. On a server only admins from the adminlist can save; in your own world everyone can.

Search

• Inventory open → hover an item → press Y.
• Nearest chest that holds it blinks 3 times and gets a map ping.

Sort

• Inventory open → R.
• Bag only: sorts your inventory. Open chest: sorts that chest only.
• Favorites stay put. Sort never moves items into the hotbar.

Multiplayer

• Install on server + all clients, same version.
• Server config sync.
• Safe chest transfers (no ownership steal while someone has a chest open).

Keys (defaults)

All hotkeys are configurable in the .cfg and stay local.
