Features

  • New mead craftable at the Cauldron
  • Drinking it applies a 5-minute buff that multiplies skill XP gain
  • Recipe and parameters are configurable via BepInEx config

Install with a mod manager ( Mod Manager / r2modman), or manually:

  • Put SkillXpMead.dll into Valheim/BepInEx/plugins/SkillXpMead/

Requirements

  • BepInExPack Valheim
  • Jotunn

Configuration

Config file is generated after first launch:

BepInEx/config/com.example.skillxpmead.cfg

Recipe format

Other options:

Multiplayer

All players (server + clients) should have the mod installed (content item).

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:
