HappyPeak

HappyPeak

Tired of a plain old climb? Spice up every PEAK run with a bunch of toggleable chaos events.

A host-side PEAK mod that randomizes chest loot, scales loot by a configurable multiplier, and adds a handful of independently-toggleable chaos events designed to make co-op runs more unpredictable.

Every event has its own on/off switch and tuning knobs. Don't like banana rain? Turn it off. Want zombies to come out of every chest? Crank ZombieTrapChance. The defaults aim for "noticeable but not run-ruining"; tweak as you like.

Only the host needs to install this mod. Clients see all the effects without installing anything — every spawn / replacement happens host-side and propagates over Photon.

🔥 Strongly recommended companion: ModConfig

Install PEAKModding's ModConfig alongside HappyPeak. It opens an in-game GUI where you can flip any config value live — no need to alt-tab, edit text files, or restart the game. Boolean toggles, sliders, etc. all work out of the box with HappyPeak's settings.

It's a separate mod (one-click install). Without it, you have to edit BepInEx/config/HappyPeak.cfg by hand and BepInEx hot-reloads it.

⚠️ Upgrading from an older HappyPeak version?

If you had HappyPeak installed and are updating to a newer version that added/removed/renamed config entries, delete BepInEx/config/HappyPeak.cfg before launching. BepInEx never rewrites descriptions or new entries into an existing cfg, so you'll lose new toggles otherwise. Your custom values get reset — back them up first if you'd tuned anything.

If you're unsure whether the version you're updating to changed configs, just delete the cfg. It costs you a 5-second restart and avoids weirdness. (As of 0.12.0 the safe zone, invincibility, chest trap, and tumbleweed sections are recent additions; 0.11.x doesn't have them.)

Features

| Section | What it does |

|---|---|

| [Randomizer] | Every chest you open returns a random item from PEAK's full item database (minus a small blacklist of cheat / quest / cosmetic-only items). Bushes, vines, ground spawners and other scenery are not affected. |

| [LootScaling] | Multiply chest loot quantity by a flat integer. 1 = vanilla, 2 = double, 3 = triple, etc. |

| [Tornado] | Periodically spawns tornadoes targeting a random player on any biome (vanilla PEAK only spawns them on Mesa). Disabled at the Kiln by default. |

| [BananaPeel] | Banana rain: drops 2–5 banana peels (random color) from above each player every wave. |

| [Tumbleweed] | Tumbleweed rain: same pattern as banana rain but with PEAK's native tumbleweed prefab. |

| [Dynamite] | Drops a stick of dynamite right in front of each player's face (head height, 1m forward). Default is unlit so the player can pick it up and use it; flip LightDynamiteOnSpawn to true for explosive surprises. |

| [MarkerSpawn] | Middle-click ping → spawns a Mesa pickaxe (pickaxe) on the exact surface you aimed at. Up to 2 unclaimed pickaxes per player; a new ping past that destroys the one farthest from you (never yanking one out of your hand). Auto-cleanup at 60s. |

| [Eruption] | Triggers PEAK's native "floor erupts in flames" effect near a random player. Requires the game's EruptionSpawner to exist in the current scene. |

| [ChestTraps] | Each chest opening rolls a small chance to spawn a Mushroom Zombie (default 10%) or teleport the Scoutmaster to hunt the opener (default 5%). |

| [SafeZones] | Standing near a campfire makes you immune to tornadoes / eruptions / banana rain / tumbleweed rain / dynamite drops — and (optional) immune to all status damage (injury, cold, hunger, etc.). Healing still works. |

Events never fire while you're at the airport / lobby — they only run inside an actual mountain run.
