Cloudberries in Valheim: Stats, Where They Grow, and What to Craft

Cloudberries item icon and its base stat card.

 

    Cloudberries are a Plains-biome food item the Valheim wiki describes as "the gold of the forest." Per the wiki's item page, a single Cloudberry weighs 0.1, stacks to 50, and can be teleported — its own teleport flag is listed as "Yes." Eating one restores 13 health and 40 stamina for 900 seconds (900 ÷ 60 = 15 minutes), healing at a rate of 1 hp per tick. The wiki lists its usage categories as Building, Crafting, Eating, and Taming — four separate roles for the same item, covered section by section below.

 

What Cloudberries Are, Stat by Stat

 

Table listing every base stat for a single Cloudberry.

 

    The wiki's infobox for the item lists these fields directly:

 

  • Type: Food
  • Weight: 0.1
  • Stack size: 50
  • Teleportable: Yes
  • Health restored: 13
  • Stamina restored: 40
  • Effect duration: 900 seconds (900 ÷ 60 = 15 minutes)
  • Healing rate: 1 hp/tick

 

    A full stack of 50 Cloudberries, at 0.1 weight each, comes to 0.1 × 50 = 5.0 weight units — arithmetic on the item's own two fields, not an estimate. Because the teleport flag on this item is listed as "Yes," a full stack can go through a portal without needing to be carried on foot.

 

Where to Find Cloudberries

    The wiki's Availability section states Cloudberries grow on "bushes in the Plains biome." No other biome or gathering method is listed for this item. Two respawn details are given, and they're internally consistent: the text says berries "will respawn after 300 minutes," and the accompanying duration value is written as 18000 (in seconds) — and 300 minutes × 60 seconds = 18,000 seconds, the same number, confirmed by the item's own text.

 

    There's also a specific exemption called out for this plant: "Cloudberry plants will remain intact if ground cover is cleared with the hoe, but they will not regrow if destroyed." That's two different outcomes depending on how the bush is cleared — hoeing around it leaves the plant standing, while destroying the bush itself removes it permanently, with no replanting method listed anywhere in this item's page.

 

Cooking and Brewing With Cloudberries

 

Table of every recipe listed under the Crafting section for Cloudberries.

 

    The wiki's Crafting section for this item lists seven recipes by name:

 

  • Barley wine base: Fire resistance
  • Lox meat pie
  • Mead base: Lingering stamina
  • Mead base: Medium stamina
  • Mead base: Anti-sting
  • Plains pie picnic
  • Salad

 

    The page doesn't give per-recipe Cloudberry quantities or the rest of each recipe's ingredient list — those live on each individual recipe's own page, outside this item's data. What's confirmed here is only that all seven recipes are listed as consuming Cloudberries as an ingredient.

 

Building and Taming Uses

 

    Cloudberries also show up outside the kitchen. Under the Usage section's Building subheading, the wiki lists four banner recipes that use Cloudberries: the Blue, red and white banner, the Orange banner, the White and blue striped banner, and the White banner. Under Taming, the page lists exactly one animal: the Lox, meaning Cloudberries are usable as taming food for that creature specifically — the page states nothing about taming any other animal with this item.

 

    On rarity, the wiki's Trivia section adds a real-world note about the plant this item is modeled on: "Cloudberries are known to be extremely rare in the wild and are often hard to cultivate (at least in Midgard/Earth), yet in Valheim they are quite common and found in abundance." That's the source's own framing of the item's in-game commonness, quoted as written.

 

Quick reference: a single Cloudberry weighs 0.1 and a full stack of 50 comes to 5.0 weight. Eating one gives 13 health and 40 stamina for 900 seconds (15 minutes). Bushes only appear in the Plains and take 300 minutes (18,000 seconds) to respawn. Clear ground cover with a hoe, not an axe or scythe, if you want the bush left standing.

 

Running your own Valheim server

 

    Bushes that respawn on a 300-minute timer only refill while the world is actually running, and a Plains outpost is easier to hold as a group than solo. A dedicated Valheim server keeps that timer ticking between sessions, lets your group split up — some banking Cloudberries for banners, others stockpiling for mead bases — and keeps world settings, launch arguments, and any PvP or mod configuration exactly as your group set them, session to session.

 

Conclusion

 

    Cloudberries are a Plains-only Food item: 0.1 weight, a 50-item stack (5.0 weight for a full stack), teleportable, and worth 13 health plus 40 stamina for 900 seconds (15 minutes) when eaten. The wiki's Availability section places them on Plains bushes with a 300-minute (18,000-second) respawn, and calls out one specific exception — hoeing ground cover leaves the plant intact, but destroying the bush itself removes it for good, with no listed way to replant. Beyond eating them raw, the item feeds seven cooking and brewing recipes, four banner recipes, and Lox taming — four separate uses documented on a single item page.
