Njord's Hond
Njord's Hond is a Valheim mod that enhances sea navigation by introducing intelligent ship autopilot capabilities. Built on top of the ShipNavigator mod, it allows players to set waypoint-based courses, switch between sailing and paddling automatically based on wind conditions, and control their vessel using simple chat commands. Njord, the Norse god of the sea and wind, lends his steady hand to steer your course—even when you're distracted by battle or beer.
Features
- 📍 Waypoint routing: Define custom routes using in-game map pins.
- 🌬️ Wind-aware navigation: Automatically switches between sailing and paddling to avoid being stuck in irons.
- 💬 Chat command control: Manage navigation with in-game chat commands.
- 🔁 Hot-reload friendly: Designed for live code reloading without restarting the game.

- Valheim (latest stable version)

This mod builds on ShipNavigator by JustCrazy. Full credit to JustCrazy for the original automatic ship navigation system.
