Add beautiful, functional, and immersive ships to your Valheim world. OdinShip is a large maritime expansion mod that introduces new boats, shipbuilding progression, naval combat support, and a wide variety of harbor decorations.

SHIPBUILDING PROGRESSION (click to expand)
To support advanced ship construction, OdinShip introduces a dedicated crafting flow. • Carpenters Table Used to prepare materials required for ship construction.New Crafting Materials
• Resin Wood
• Caulked Wood
• Sail Canvas
• Marine Rope
These materials are used in boat crafting recipes and create a clear progression from small boats to large ships.
NAVAL COMBAT (click to expand)
OdinShip supports naval warfare through player-controlled ship turrets and custom ship ammunition.
Manual Ship Turrets
- Press E near a turret to take control. Press E again, jump, or move to leave it.
- While controlling the turret, aim with the camera and use the primary attack button to fire.
- Each turret can be operated by one player at a time.
- Turrets consume ammunition from their linked ship container, not from the player inventory.
- The turret displays its currently available ammunition while it is in use.
Ammunition
• Ballista Bone Arrow
• Ballista Bronze Arrow
• Ballista Iron Arrow
• Ballista Silver Arrow
These bolts are crafted at the Carpenters Table and are intended for use on OdinShip war vessels. Store compatible ammunition in the container linked to the turret before taking control.
Automatic turrets used by autonomous enemy ships are separate from the player-operated turret system.
AUTONOMOUS ENEMY SHIPS (click to expand)
OdinShipPlus adds hostile ships that can spawn naturally in the world and hunt nearby players. They use the same sailing physics as regular ships, can pursue targets at sea, and bring their own crew into combat when a player boards or approaches the vessel.
Autonomous enemy ships are disabled by default. Players who install OdinShipPlus only for its buildable ships will not encounter hostile ships unless a server administrator or single-player user explicitly enables them in the configuration file.
Corsair Little Boat
- Internal prefab and configuration section:
LittleBoatAuto. - Spawns in Meadows and Black Forest after Eikthyr has been defeated.
- Carries 2 Raider Recruits.

Crew Behavior
- Crew members remain assigned to their own ship.
- They defend the vessel when players enter its combat area.
- Both crew types are highly configurable. Their health, health regeneration, stars and drops can be adjusted independently.
- Every crew weapon has its own configuration section. Weapon damage types, damage per level, stamina use, knockback, backstab, block, parry, projectile count, accuracy, velocity and other applicable item statistics can be customized.
- These gameplay settings are synchronized by the server.
Spawn Configuration
Each enemy ship has its own synchronized configuration section. You can independently enable or disable its world spawn and adjust:
To enable the Corsair Little Boat, find this exact section and change its value:
[LittleBoatAuto]
Enable Spawn = true
To enable the Autonomous War Ship, find this exact section and change its value:
[WarShipAuto]
Enable Spawn = true
Both Enable Spawn settings are generated as false by default. Leave them as false if you only want the player-buildable ships.
- Spawn interval and chance
- Maximum ships in the world
- Spawn distance and radius
- Day and night spawning
- Minimum water depth
- Required global key
FISHING DOCK (click to expand)
The Fishing Dock is a special piece — unlike purely decorative items, it's fully functional. Once built, an NPC fisherman will spend the entire day fishing for you automatically, providing a passive source of fish for you. Note that it can only be placed in water, so you'll need a suitable spot along the coast or at sea. Crafted at the Workbench using BronzeNails x20, Wood x20, RoundLog x4, and Coins x250.FISHING & PROCESSING (click to expand)
Use the sea not only for travel, but also for production:• Oil Press – extracts oil from fish
• Fish Extract – consumable item that increases the player’s carry weight (up to +250 weight)
This system allows players to turn fishing into a meaningful progression mechanic.
