</>What does Second Wind (Endless Stamina) do?
Valheim's stamina bar is the invisible hand that stops every good idea. Sprint away from a two-star troll and you run out three steps from safety. Chop a forest and you're panting after every second tree. Swim a short strait and you nearly drown halfway across. Second Wind puts an end to the gasping. Turn on Infinite Stamina and your bar simply never empties. Sprint from the Meadows to the Mountains without stopping, mine a whole copper vein in one go, block a boss's entire combo without dropping your guard, and climb any slope Valheim throws at you. Every action that used to drain you is suddenly free. Want a middle ground instead of full godmode? Switch on Custom Max Stamina and set your bar to any size you like — a comfortably big buffer for long adventures, or a giant tank for hauling ore across the map. You still spend stamina like normal, you just have a whole lot more of it before you slow down. Made for explorers tired of the sprint-stop-sprint shuffle, builders and miners who want to work without the panting breaks, returning Vikings rebuilding a base without the grind, and anyone who just wants to feel like a warrior of legend instead of someone who skipped leg day. Toggle it on for the big journey, toggle it off when you want the vanilla challenge back.
</>What is Second Wind (Endless Stamina)?
Second Wind is a ProjectMods mod for Valheim that fixes the game's most constant interruption — the stamina bar. Turn on Infinite Stamina and sprinting, attacking, blocking, mining, and climbing stop costing stamina entirely, so your bar never empties. Prefer a lighter touch? Custom Max Stamina lets you raise your maximum stamina to any value you choose, giving you a huge buffer while still spending stamina normally.

</>Common questions about Second Wind (Endless Stamina)
What does Second Wind do in Valheim?
Second Wind is a ProjectMods mod for Valheim that gives you control over the stamina bar. It has two independent toggles. Infinite Stamina keeps your bar full no matter what you do — sprinting, jumping, attacking, blocking, mining, chopping wood, swimming, and climbing all stop draining stamina, so you never run out mid-action. Custom Max Stamina takes a different approach: instead of making stamina free, it grows the maximum size of your bar to any value you pick, so you have a much bigger reserve while still spending stamina the normal way. Use one, the other, or both together, and switch either off whenever you want the vanilla experience back.
What's the difference between Infinite Stamina and Custom Max Stamina?
Infinite Stamina means your bar never goes down — every action is effectively free and you can sprint or fight forever. Custom Max Stamina means your bar is bigger, but you still spend stamina as usual; you just get a lot more of it before you slow down. Infinite Stamina is the full quality-of-life option for players who never want to think about the bar again. Custom Max Stamina is the middle ground for players who still enjoy managing stamina but find the vanilla amount too small for long journeys or heavy hauling. They stack, too — turn both on and you get a giant bar that also never empties.
How big can I make my stamina bar with Custom Max Stamina?
You set it yourself with a slider, anywhere from 100 up to 5000. For reference, a fresh Viking starts around 100 and well-fed characters sit a few hundred, so even a modest custom value already feels generous. Pick a comfortable buffer if you just want fewer interruptions, or crank it toward the top end if you want to haul ore across the whole map without a second thought. Whatever number you choose becomes your new maximum, and the mod keeps it locked in even though the game normally recalculates your bar size from the food you've eaten.
Do I lose my progress or does this affect my save?
No. Second Wind changes how much stamina you have while you play — it doesn't rewrite your character, your skills, or your world. Turn Infinite Stamina off and your bar drains normally again on the very next action. Turn Custom Max Stamina off and the game restores your normal food-based bar size within about a second on its own. Nothing about the mod permanently binds to your save, so it's safe to flip on for a long adventure and back off when you want the vanilla survival challenge. Valheim is a private-world survival game, so this is just your game, your rules.
Will endless stamina make Valheim too easy?
That's entirely your call, which is exactly why Second Wind is built as two toggles you control. If you want pure freedom — no more sprint management, no more panting through a mine — turn on Infinite Stamina and enjoy it. If you'd rather keep some of the survival tension but stop the bar from feeling cramped, leave Infinite Stamina off and just use Custom Max Stamina for a bigger reserve. And because both switch off instantly, you can use endless stamina for the tedious parts, like hauling materials or crossing empty ocean, then flip it off for boss fights where you want the fight to matter. The mod hands you the dial; you decide how hard the game stays.
