Install this Library, if an addon tells you to install. Otherwise it's mostly for addon authors.

This Library includes a list of all current food and drinks buff along with their type (food or drink, special food, etc.).
It includes functions to get information about group member's and/or player food statuses. The Library can be used by itself or packaged in an Add-on without the standalone.lua file.
You can also check your inventory for consumable items and use (consume) them.

ABOUT THIS LISTING

This page describes LibFoodDrinkBuff by Baertram. The description and screenshots are the author's own, imported from their listing on ESOUI on 26 October 2026: https://www.esoui.com/downloads/info1902-LibFoodDrinkBuff.html

Mythiq.net hosts no files for it. The download button goes straight to the release file on cdn.esoui.com, so you are downloading from the author's own host, not from a copy of ours.

The download count, rating and comments on this page start at zero and count Mythiq.net only. The source's own figures are not copied here — they measure a different site, and a number that cannot be checked against our own ledger is not worth printing.

API VERSION

Built for ESO API version 12.0.0, 11.3.0, 11.2.0, 11.1.0, 11.0.0. After a patch the game marks add-ons built for the previous API as out of date; the "Allow out of date add-ons" checkbox in the add-on menu loads them anyway, and most work.

LIBRARIES

Many ESO add-ons depend on a shared library — LibAddonMenu-2.0 above all — which is installed separately, exactly like an add-on. A dependency that is missing shows as the add-on simply not appearing in the list.

CONSOLE

Add-ons are PC and Mac only. There is no way to load them on console.

1. Download the archive with the button on this page and unzip it.

2. Move the unzipped folder into your add-ons directory:

Windows — Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\live\AddOns

macOS — ~/Documents/Elder Scrolls Online/live/AddOns

3. Start the game, and at the character select screen click Add-Ons.

4. Tick the add-on. If it is greyed out and marked out of date, tick "Allow out of date add-ons" at the top of the same panel.

5. Log in. Most add-ons need a /reloadui after they are first enabled.

UPDATING

Delete the old folder first. ESO loads everything it finds, and two copies of one add-on is the usual cause of "an add-on has produced an error" on login.
