📋 About This Mod
With this mod you can force Sign to show items and itemcounts of nearest chest
For install unpack .rar into your: "Valheim/BeplnEx" folder.
MOD MAY HAVE SOME BUGS. Feel free to report bugs for me and i will try to fix that.
1) place Sign on wall or somewhere
2) name sign "/items" or "/items night" (if you want night theme)
3) place chest near and see what happens
You can write "/items all" and if will show info from ALL COINTANERS near sign. For example you can make area for containers with wood, place sign there and call it /items all , so it will show you wood quantity for all chests
If you wanna stop Sign from showing you info and make it default sign - call it "/stop"
