Bifrost Brew
Ride the rainbow bridge home.
Deep in the swamp, bags full, night falling, and no portal in sight? Uncork a Bifrost Brew. The Bifrost opens beneath your feet and carries you straight back to your bed. Just don't try to smuggle your ore across. The gods have rules.
Features
- A mead that takes you home. Drink it, and a few heartbeats later you're standing by your bed.
- A proper send-off. A rune-circled portal opens under your feet, light spirals around you, and you vanish in a pillar of light. Your friends get to watch.
- Brewed like any other mead. Make the base at the Mead Ketill, ferment it, and you're set.
- Looks the part. A shimmering, glowing bottle, and you can set it out on your tables and shelves with the Serving Tray. Drinking it straight off the table works too.
- Tune it to taste. The countdown, cooldown and recipe are all configurable, and servers keep everyone on the same settings.
Brewing
- At the Mead Ketill: 10 Honey, 10 Greydwarf Eye and 2 Surtling Core make a Mead base: Bifrost.
- Let it ferment in a Fermenter for 6 Bifrost Brew.
Server owners can change the recipe; see Configuration.
Drinking it
Drink a Bifrost Brew and the bridge begins to open (5 seconds by default). When it's ready, you're home: at your bed, or at the starting stones if you haven't claimed one yet. If you're sitting, steering a ship or riding, you'll hop off first.
A few rules the gods insist on:
- No smuggling. Like a portal, the Bifrost won't carry ore, metal bars or anything else a portal refuses. You can't drink it while carrying them, and you keep the brew. Grab some ore while the bridge is opening and the trip fizzles, brew and all.
- No cheating death. Die before the bridge opens and the trip is off.
- One trip at a time. You can't drink another while the bridge is opening or on cooldown.
Configuration
Change these in your mod manager's config editor, an in-game configuration manager, or BepInEx/config/com.voxxsidus.bifrostbrew.cfg.
| Setting | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Channel seconds | 5 | How long the bridge takes to open (0–30). 0 sends you home instantly. |
| Cooldown minutes | 0 | How long before you can drink another after a trip (0–120). 0 means no cooldown. |
| Mead base ingredients | Honey:10, GreydwarfEye:10, SurtlingCore:2 |
What goes into the mead base, as Item:Amount pairs. |
| Mead base station | piece_MeadCauldron |
Where the base is made: piece_MeadCauldron (Mead Ketill), piece_cauldron (Cauldron) or piece_workbench (Workbench). Leave empty to make it anywhere. |
| Brews per base | 6 | How many brews one base ferments into (1–50). |
Ingredients use the game's item IDs, like GreydwarfEye or SurtlingCore. Changes apply right away, even mid-game. On a server, the server's settings win and only admins can change them.
Installation
The easiest way is a mod manager (r2modman, Gale or Thunderstore Mod Manager), which also installs what Bifrost Brew needs:
- BepInExPack Valheim
- Jötunn
To install by hand, copy BifrostBrew.dll into BepInEx/plugins/BifrostBrew/.
Playing together? The server and every player need the mod.
Known issues
- Logging out resets an active cooldown.
- If your bed has been destroyed, you'll still arrive where it used to stand.
- Taking damage doesn't interrupt the bridge; only death does.
