Container Discoveries

A small client-side Valheim mod: opening a chest discovers everything inside it.

In vanilla, an item only counts as "found" once it enters your own inventory. On a shared server that means walking every chest in the storage room and shuffling each new material through your bags before its recipes unlock. With this mod, just open the chest. Every item in it that you have not seen yet is discovered on the spot, with the usual "New material" and "New recipe" pop-ups, and the recipes and build pieces that need it unlock immediately.

• Works on any container window: chests, carts, ships, modded containers that use the vanilla UI.
• Items that get added while the chest is open are discovered too.
• Nothing is moved, taken or changed in the chest. Only your own discovery list is updated.
• Trophies count as well (optional). As in vanilla, discovering a trophy adds it to your trophy collection.

Installation

Install with r2modman / Thunderstore Mod Manager, or drop ContainerDiscoveries.dll into BepInEx/plugins.

Requires BepInExPack Valheim and Jötunn. Client-side only: known materials and recipes are stored in your own character save, so the server needs nothing and other players are unaffected.

Configuration

BepInEx/config/dsoltyka.ContainerDiscoveries.cfg is created on first launch. Both settings apply immediately.
