Skal
Tavern artifacts: map bottles to mead effects with cooldowns, plus a drunkenness system - camera sway, wobbly walk, and puking when you overdo it.
About this mod Author’s original text
Skal
Skal turns decorative drink bottles into tavern artifacts,
and gives Valheim a proper drunkenness system.
Features
Bottle effects
Map any drinkable bottle (from mods like
Happy Hour) to a mead effect:
- Drink the bottle → the mapped mead's status effect applies (icon + timer, top right).
- Nothing is consumed from your inventory, the bottle IS the potion.
- Balanced by a per-bottle cooldown.
- Map a bottle to random for tavern roulette.
Drunkenness
Every sip adds drunkenness points. It wears off over time, unless you keep going:
| Level | Effect |
|---|---|
| 30+ | The camera starts to sway |
| 60+ | Your walk drifts sideways |
| 90 | You puke (vanilla Pukeberries effect: eaten food is lost) and sober up to 40 |
All thresholds, points per drink, sober-up rate and sway strength are configurable.
Configuration (r2modman Config Editor)
Each known bottle has its own entry:
Toro Red Wine = MeadHealthMinor:120:15
^mead effect ^cooldown s ^drunk points
Set a bottle to none to disable it. Add unknown bottles via Extra Mappings:
German Bier=MeadStaminaMedium:120:18, House Ale=MeadTasty:90:12
Tip: drop an item and use object info (World Edit Commands) to read its exact prefab name.
Install
BepInEx plugin, client-side: BepInEx/plugins/Skal.dll, or via r2modman.
Each player who wants the effects needs the mod.

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:
