About this mod Author’s original text
PeakBackpackAlt
Items stored in your backpack weigh less than items carried in your hands or hotbar. This mod makes backpacks meaningfully more useful without needing to babysit your stamina bar.
Features
- Configurable weight reduction percentage for backpack contents (default: 50%)
- Optional verbose logging for troubleshooting mod conflicts
- Works out of the box, no setup required
Configuration
After running the game once with the mod installed, edit:
BepInEx/config/com.example.peakbackpackalt.cfg
- BackpackWeightReductionPercentage (0-100, default 50) — how much lighter backpack items feel.
- VerboseLogging (true/false, default false) — logs which weight calculations were adjusted, useful for debugging.
If you have ConfigurationManager installed, you can also change these values in-game (default hotkey F1) without editing files or restarting.
Compatibility
Implemented via a targeted Harmony patch on the game's own weight-calculation method, so it should be compatible with most other mods. If the game updates and this mod stops applying the weight reduction, a warning will appear in BepInEx/LogOutput.log — please report it as an issue so the patch can be updated.
Credits
Independent reimplementation, not affiliated with or based on the source of any other backpack-weight mod.
Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin
- The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
- Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
- Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
- Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.
Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
