Recipe Pinner A lightweight, essential quality-of-life mod for Valheim that lets you pin crafting, building, and cooking recipes directly to your HUD. Track required materials and amounts in real-time as you gather, smelt, and explore—no more running back to your workbench just to check ingredients.
Features
- Pin Any Recipe: Pin crafting bench, forge, cooking pot, and piece-building recipes directly from the crafting menu. Live Material Tracking: Dynamically counts matching materials in your inventory against the required amounts (e.g., Wood: 12/20, Iron: 4/10).
- Multi-Recipe Pinning: Pin multiple recipes at once with automatic vertical stacking on the HUD.
- Auto-Complete Indicator: Changes text color or displays an icon once all required materials are collected.
- Customizable HUD Widget: Configure on-screen position, scale, opacity, and text size via configuration files.
- Unpin on Craft: Automatically unpins or clears completed tasks when you forge or build the pinned item.
How to Use
- Open any crafting station (Workbench, Forge, Cooking Station, etc.) or open your Build Menu.
- Select an item recipe.
- Click the Pin Recipe button (or press the configured hotkey, default: Middle Mouse Button or F).
- The recipe HUD widget will appear on your screen tracking your inventory counts in real time.
- Click Unpin on the station UI or toggle it off from your HUD whenever you are done.
