About this mod Author’s original text
Hearthhold
Stardew Valley style quality for Valheim's food. What you gather, harvest, hunt and cook comes plain or with one, two
or three stars (bronze, silver, gold). Better ingredients and a better cook make better food, and starred food is
worth more when you eat it, sell it or give it away.
Requires GrindstoneSkills: its Foraging, Husbandry, Farming, Fishing and Cooking levels decide the stars.
Features
- Stars on wild picks, honey and sap (Foraging), crops (Farming), meat (Husbandry and the creature's own stars) and
fish (the catch's size, when it is cleaned).
- Dishes and meads roll their stars from the cook's Cooking level and the stars of the ingredients; your best
ingredients go in first.
- Meads keep their base's stars from the fermenter.
- Eating: each star adds 10% health, stamina and eitr and makes the food last 10% longer.
- Meads: each star makes healing and restoring meads stronger and lasting meads last longer.
- Stars are shown on icons, tooltips and items on the ground in bronze, silver and gold, and starred items stack
apart.
- Everything is decided on the server or the object's owner, so it works the same for everyone in multiplayer.
Content
- Daily Fortune: each day the Norns grant Ill-omened, Poor, Fair, Good or Blessed fortune, the same for everyone,
nudging every star roll. Type fortune in the console to see today's.
- Professions at level 100: Botanist (wild picks always gold), Tiller (crops at least silver), Rancher (meat at least
silver), Gourmet (dishes and meads at least silver), Angler (cleaned fish at least silver).
- Shipping Crate: a chest that buys your starred goods at dawn for coins; more stars pay more.
- Trader friendship: give Haldor, Hildir or the Bog Witch a starred dish once a day for up to ten hearts and a
discount of up to 10%.
- Aging Cask: meads and wines left in it gain a star every two days, up to gold.
Possible later feature
- Bundle Hall: a hall of bundles to fill with starred goods ("Meadows forage: bronze raspberries, mushrooms and
dandelions"), each finished bundle unlocking a lasting reward. Not in the mod yet.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin
- The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
- 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.
- Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
- 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.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
