NjordWarehouseKeeper

Njord, Warehouse Keeper

Njord is a warehouse keeper you place with the hammer. Talk to him, and the items in nearby chests appear together. Take a stack from the list and it comes out of the chest it actually sits in. Deposit, and it goes to an existing pile of the same thing, or into the first empty slot the network has.

He keeps no goods of his own. If nowhere nearby will take what you send, it stays in your pack.

Because he is a buildable piece, the mod must be installed on the server and on every client. A client whose version does not match the server's is refused.

If EpicLoot is also installed, listed magic items, runestones, and crafting materials tint the row with that mod's rarity colour. The inventory slot frame is not drawn on Njord's list. EpicLoot is optional.

Installation

Drop NjordWarehouseKeeper.dll into BepInEx/plugins, or install the zip with a mod manager. Requires Jötunn.

Localization

Njord follows the language selected in Valheim. UI, dialogue, build-piece text, and status messages live in embedded JSON catalogs under Localization/. English.json is the reference. The file name must be the Valheim language id:

| File | Language | | --- | --- | | English.json | English | | Chinese.json | Simplified Chinese | | Chinese_Trad.json | Traditional Chinese | | German.json | German | | French.json | French | | Spanish.json | Spanish (Spain and Latin America) | | Portuguese_Brazilian.json | Portuguese (Brazil) | | Russian.json | Russian | | Polish.json | Polish | | Ukrainian.json | Ukrainian | | Italian.json | Italian | | Turkish.json | Turkish | | Japanese.json | Japanese | | Korean.json | Korean |

To add another language, copy English.json to a file named after the Valheim language, translate the values without changing the keys or {0} placeholders, and build the mod. The catalog check can be run from the repository root:

python tools/validate-localization.py src/NjordWarehouseKeeper/Localization
python tools/test-localization-registration.py

The catalogs are embedded in NjordWarehouseKeeper.dll, so an installed mod does not need a separate localization file beside the plugin. Changing the language while a world is already loaded updates Njord's panel the same way vanilla UI does.

Source

The source is on GitHub. The mod is open: if you want to fix something, change how it works, or help maintain it, open a pull request or an issue. You do not need to ask first.

Building one

| Cost | Where | | --- | --- | | 200 gold coins | Hammer, Furniture |

No workbench, and no other materials. Place him like any furniture. He stands where you put him, starts in rags with a wooden club and wooden shield, and will remark on the stores now and then the way a vendor does. Dress him from the item list, and cycle his pose with R.

Using it

Walk up and press use. Your inventory stays on the left. Vanilla crafting on the right is hidden; Njord's recipe panel opens in that slot, and his item list opens in the center. The cog still opens Preferences. Identical items from different chests share one row. Hover a row the same way you hover a pack slot: keep the cursor still for a moment and the vanilla item tooltip appears in front of the list, so the scroll mask does not crop it.
