JevIntroSkip
Skips the studio logos, the intro video, the lore text and the Valkyrie flight, so you get into the game without the wait. Each one is a toggle, so you only skip what you want to.
About this mod Author’s original text
JevIntroSkip
Studio logos and cinematics hold up every launch, and a new character has to sit through the lore text and a long Valkyrie flight before it can move. This mod skips all of it.
Features
- Skips the Coffee Stain and Iron Gate logos.
- Skips the intro cinematic video before the main menu.
- Skips the lore text when a new character enters a world.
- Skips the Valkyrie flight and drops you at the start point.
- Each skip has its own setting.
Configuration
The settings are in BepInEx/config/JevMods.JevIntroSkip.cfg, created on first launch.
- Startup.SkipLogos: skips the Coffee Stain and Iron Gate logos (default true).
- Startup.SkipCinematic: skips the intro cinematic video shown before the main menu (default true).
- NewWorld.SkipLoreText: skips the lore text a new character sees (default true).
- NewWorld.SkipValkyrieFlight: skips the Valkyrie flight and spawns you at the start point (default true).

Building from source
To build you need Windows, the.NET SDK 8 or newer (with the.NET Framework 4.8 developer pack), Valheim and BepInEx. The easiest way to get BepInEx is to install BepInExPack_Valheim in a Mod Manager profile.
git clone
cd JevIntroSkip
dotnet build src/JevIntroSkip -c Release
Then copy src/JevIntroSkip/bin/Release/JevIntroSkip.dll into BepInEx/plugins.
The build looks for Valheim through Steam and for BepInEx in the Default profile of the Mod Manager. If yours live elsewhere, pass the paths:
dotnet build src/JevIntroSkip -c Release -p:ValheimDir="D:\Games\Valheim" -p:BepInExDir="D:\Games\Valheim\BepInEx"
You can also set the VALHEIM_INSTALL environment variable. With no Valheim install at all, point ManagedDir at the valheim_server_Data/Managed folder of the free Valheim Dedicated Server (Steam app 896660). The GitHub workflow does exactly that.
Notes
- Client-side: only the player who wants the skips needs to install it.
- Source:
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:
