README

XStorage

XStorage lets you open multiple chests at once, rename them, and move items/stacks to the most suitable chest.

Features

Name your chests

By pressing alt-interact (Shift + E by default), you can give your chests a name. This name is shown when you hover over the chest, and also in the panel above the inventory when a chest is opened.

Open many chests

To display multiple chests, XStorage creates a new panel in the UI. The panel will automatically expand to fit in as many chests as it can. You can restrict the width and height in XStorage's config.

When you open more chests than XStorage can display on the screen, this panel will become scrollable.

Moving items/stacks to the most suitable chest

When you auto-move an item from your inventory (via Ctrl + Click), XStorage tries to find the most suitable chest to put the item/stack in. It does so by picking the chest containing the highest quantity of the item you are moving, from all opened chests that still have free space.

Ctrl + Click-ing an item or stack in any of the chests will always make it go to the player inventory (equal to vanilla behaviour).

Multiplayer

In multiplayer games, all players need to have XStorage installed, or it will not work. If you play on a dedicated server, the server also has to have XStorage installed.

Known shortcomings

There are a few things that, at this stage, XStorage does not do well, or at all:

  • Gamepad input: XStorage does not deal with gamepad input at all. That is to say, the UI kind of breaks when you use a gamepad. I will look into this in the future, but for now this mod is pretty much mouse/keyboard only.

XStorage looks best when playing at a 16:9 ratio with a UI scaling of 95% or smaller.

Installation instructions

XStorage is a BepInEx plugin. As such, you must have BepInEx installed. Most other Valheim mods are also BepInEx plugins, so chances are you already have this.

XStorage makes use of the Jotunn library, so you must install that before installing XStorage. If you do not install Jotunn, XStorage will simply not be loaded by your game and it will not work.

I very strongly recommend using a mod manager such as Vortex or r2modman. They will take care of everything for you and you don't have to worry about which files go where. I recommend against manual installation.

  1. Make sure you have BepInEx installed.
  2. Install Jotunn.
  3. On Nexus Mods click 'Mod manager download', or on Thunderstore click 'Install with Mod Manager'.
