Unfortunately, you cannot summon the Drunk Princess in the current version of the Calamity Mod. She was a former NPC vendor in the mod, offering unique potions and a distinct (and often controversial) personality. However, she was removed due to a community backlash regarding her character and the mod creator’s (Fabsol’s) self-insertion. While she’s gone, understanding her mechanics and the items associated with her is still valuable for players familiar with older versions of the mod or those curious about Calamity’s history. This guide will delve into the details surrounding the Drunk Princess, her former functionality, and related content that remains in the mod.
Understanding the Drunk Princess (Historical Context)
The Drunk Princess was a Hardmode NPC vendor whose presence was tied to specific conditions and her inventory revolved around alcohol-themed items. She represented a particular aspect of the mod creator’s persona, which ultimately led to her removal. To fully understand her legacy, let’s explore her original summoning requirements and role within the game.
How Could You Summon Her?
In older versions of the Calamity Mod, the Drunk Princess would spawn once the following conditions were met:
- There was an empty house available.
- A player in the world had Fabsol’s Vodka in their inventory.
- The world was in Hardmode.
Once these requirements were satisfied, she would move into the available housing and become a permanent resident, offering her unique wares.
Items Associated with the Drunk Princess (Still Relevant)
While the Drunk Princess herself is no longer present, some of the items she sold or were related to her remain in the game. It’s crucial to understand their effects and how to obtain them.
Fabsol’s Vodka
This item was crucial for summoning the Drunk Princess and is still relevant for other purposes. It is used to obtain the Princess Spirit in a Bottle mount.
- How to Obtain: Its availability varies with different game versions. In some cases it is still sold by other NPCs under specific conditions or has been made a rare drop.
Princess Spirit in a Bottle
This is a post-Moon Lord mount summoning item obtained from The Devourer of Gods while the player is under the effect of Fabsol’s Vodka. It is still available in the mod.

The Drunk Princess was removed following a controversy surrounding the inclusion of what was deemed unfitting content within the mod. Many players felt that the character’s depiction and connection to the mod creator’s personal habits were inappropriate for the game.
