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.

The source is on GitHub. The mod is

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.

• Click a row to pick up one stack and drag it, the same as a chest slot.

If the stores have enough to fill a complete stack, that is what you pick up,

not a leftover pile from the first chest that happens to hold some.

• Ctrl-click a row to take as much of that item as your pack will hold.
• Shift-click a row to pick how many to take.
• Click the star on a listed row, or on an item in your own pack, to mark

that item as a favourite. Weapons, armour, and tools star as that specific

piece; stacking goods still share one star. The pack star is there whenever

inventory is open (Tab included), not only while talking to Njord. The

Favourites category lists only starred items. The star next to the sort

buttons filters the current category the same wa
