Offliner
A cosmetic skill that levels while you're the only one online on a server. Play alone long enough and you slowly turn into a draugr: grey skin, groans, green glow, mist, and finally a draugr body.

This mod requires the following mods to function
ValheimModding-Jotunn
Jötunn (/ˈjɔːtʊn/, 'giant'), the Valheim Library was created with the goal of making the lives of mod developers easier. It enables you to create mods for Valheim using an abstracted API so you can focus on the actual content creation.
Preferred version: 2.30.2
denikson-BepInExPack_Valheim
BepInEx pack for Valheim. Preconfigured with the correct entry point for mods and preferred defaults for the community.
Preferred version: 5.4.2351README
Offliner
Your friends logged off again? Now there are consequences.
Offliner adds a new skill, Offlining, that levels up while you are the only player online on a dedicated server. The longer you play alone, the more you turn into a draugr.
What happens as you level
| Level | Time alone (approx.) | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| 30 | ~1.4 h | Your skin starts fading to draugr grey-blue, and you start groaning now and then |
| 45 | ~3.5 h | The groans get more frequent |
| 65 | ~8.3 h | Your head glows draugr green |
| 75 | ~11.7 h | A swamp mist follows you around |
| 100 | ~29.8 h | You become a draugr: the draugr body on your own skeleton, so every animation still works. The last level alone takes 7 hours |
- You gain 15 XP per minute while you are alone on a dedicated server. AFK counts.
- Nothing happens in single-player or self-hosted worlds, or while anyone else is online.
- Dying lowers the skill like any other skill, so dying at 100 turns you human again.
- Purely cosmetic. There are no stat changes, and your saved character's appearance is never modified. Uninstalling returns everyone to normal.
- Other players with the mod see your skin, glow, mist, groans and draugr body.
Install
- Install with a mod manager (r2modman or Thunderstore Mod Manager). Requires BepInExPack_Valheim and Jötunn.
- Every player who wants to gain the skill or see the effects needs the mod. The server doesn't need it. Players without the mod can still join; they just see you as normal.
Admin commands
All commands are admin-only: on the server's admin list, or the host in single-player.
offlining <0-100>: set your level for testing. Needsdevcommands.offliner_tune: adjust skin and glow colours live.offliner_debug: writes effect state toBepInEx/offliner_debug.txt.offliner_findfx <text>: lists particle effects by name.
Notes
- Built for the current Valheim version (Unity 6), BepInEx 5.4 and Jötunn 2.30.
- Reusing vanilla assets means a future Valheim update may rename one. If that happens, that single effect is skipped, and a warning is logged.
CHANGELOG
Changelog
1.0.2
- Change: the level 75 effect is now the draugr's own aura, carried on your body (human or draugr), instead of a swamp mist that got left behind as you moved.
1.0.1
- Fix: the Offlining skill icon was missing when installed through a mod manager.
- Change: all commands are now vanilla cheat commands, like
godandspawn(needdevcommands; on dedicated servers, the Server devcommands mod on the admin's client). Replaces the separate admin-list check, which could wrongly refuse real admins.
1.0.0
- Initial release.
