ExpandedPlayerInventory

A standalone Valheim BepInEx mod that expands player inventory rows (up to 50 rows, default 20) with a built-in scrollbar and mouse-wheel scrolling support.

Features

• Configurable player inventory rows (4 to 50 rows).
• Integrated Valheim-themed scrollbar.
• Mouse scroll wheel and Gamepad navigation support.
• Fully standalone: can be used with or without ValheimPlus.

Configuration

Configuration file is generated at BepInEx/config/ckforgame.ExpandedPlayerInventory.cfg after first launch:

• playerInventoryRows: Number of player inventory rows (min 4, max 50, default 20).
• scrollSensitivity: Mouse wheel scroll sensitivity (min 50, max 1500, default 350). Higher values scroll faster with less wheel movement.

Compatibility with ValheimPlus

[!IMPORTANT] If you are using ValheimPlus, please ensure inventoryRows in your ValheimPlus configuration (valheim_plus.cfg) is set to 4 (the vanilla default) or leave the [Player] inventory expansion disabled.

Letting ValheimPlus expand inventory rows simultaneously will conflict with this mod's scrollbar positioning and grid layout management. Use ExpandedPlayerInventory's configuration to specify your desired rows instead.

Known Issues & Workaround

[!NOTE] First-Time Inventory Open (Empty Background):

• Issue: When opening the inventory for the very first time after logging into a world or respawning, the item slots may occasionally not render, showing only the wooden background panel.
• Temporary Workaround: Simply close (Tab or Esc) and reopen the inventory once. All slots and items will render and scroll normally for the remainder of your session.

Installation

• Using Mod Manager (r2modman / Thunderstore): Click Install with Mod Manager.
• Manual Installation:
  1. Install BepInExPack Valheim.
  2. Extract ExpandedPlayerInventory.dll into <GameDirectory>/BepInEx/plugins/.

Changelog

• v1.1.0:
  • Feature: Added configurable mouse wheel scrollSensitivity (default 350, range 50–1500) for ~5x faster, effortless scrolling.
  • Feature: Standardized plugin GUID and configuration filename to ckforgame.ExpandedPlayerInventory.cfg (with automatic migration from legacy config).
  • Fix: Resolved ValheimPlus mod conflict where container resizing caused negative viewport heights and culled item slots on first open.
  • Fix: Fixed repeated 20-row pop-in / flashing by restricting opening synchronization strictly to the first open of each world session.
  • Fix: Added runtime layout failsafes in InventoryGui.Update preventing item graphics from ever being culled while the canvas settles.
• v1.0.4: Deferred clipping to after Animator transition; fixed compatibility with ValheimPlus and other inventory mods.
• v1.0.3: Added known issues and temporary workaround documentation; improved canvas and clipping update handling during inventory opening animation.
• v1.0.2: Fixed first-time inventory open render bug where slots were displaced off-screen and invisible until reopened.
• v1.0.1: Initial release with standalone scrolling inventory and ValheimPlus compatibility guidance.
