💀 Drown Death on Stamina Exhaustion

Instant death when swimming without stamina!

✨ What This Mod Does For You

  • ⚡ Instant Death - Die immediately when swimming without stamina, instead of slowly losing health
  • 🎯 Realistic Drowning - More realistic drowning mechanics that match real-world scenarios
  • 🔧 Simple & Lightweight - Minimal performance impact, no configuration needed
  • 🛡️ Safe & Stable - Uses Harmony patches for safe code injection
  • 🎮 Hardcore Experience - Perfect for players who want a more challenging survival experience

🎯 How It Works

When you're swimming in water and your stamina runs out:

  • ❌ Original Behavior: You take damage every second (5% of max health), slowly dying
  • ✅ This Mod: You die instantly when stamina is exhausted

The mod uses Harmony to intercept the drowning damage logic and applies fatal damage instead of gradual damage.

  • Extract to your game's BepInEx/plugins folder

💡 Note: This mod requires BepInEx to be installed first. Make sure you have BepInExPack_Valheim installed.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin

  1. The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
  2. Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
  3. Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
  4. Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.

Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file. In multiplayer, the host and every client need the same mods installed.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
