Anyhoo....

So yes, there's a simple, basic mod that does this already. Now the negative....the reason that a lot of servers don't use this mod is it allows anyone that comes to your workbench the ability to craft from your chests too. Even if your chests are hidden, if it's within range a person could craft themselves a nice set of armor with your materials. This is the primary reason most people on multi player servers don't like this function. In case you're wondering, no....wards do not prevent this.

Dude, wtf are you talking about? You don’t have to be a noob, don’t know how to mod or want to cheat to use vanilla. Vanilla is literally the intended way to play. Devcommands are not intended gameplay (they literally used to be called “imacheater” commands). Mods aren’t even officially supported by the devs. It’s entirely reasonable to suggest something that someone already made a mod for, since most people don’t want to play modded valheim. Your generalization isn’t only wrong, but doesn’t even capture the majority opinion.

There seems to be an assumption among a portion of the playerbase that the game is too difficult, and the only way to play Valheim is through cheats or mods. The self gratifying explanation is that anyone who doesn't use mods either is a cheat or a noob.
