About this mod Author’s original text
Introduction
My name is DrPine. I am uploading a couple of mods that are only over so that everyone can use them Mod Manager with ease. Below is the description.
Developed by aedenthorn
Description
So, the original backpack mod was a terrible hack that didn't really work well.
This mod is a less-terrible hack that should probably work better, in theory, as the inventory is saved inside the mod, not the world.
This is not an upgrade of the original Backpack mod, please empty your backpack and uninstall that mod before trying this one.
Usage
To open and close the backpack, press the configurable hotkey (default b).
The weight of the items in the backpack are added to the weight of your player's inventory, after applying a weight multiplier (default 0.5, meaning things in the backpack weigh half as much as they normally would).
On death, you can choose whether the backpack drops all its items on the ground, creates a second tombstone, or keeps its items.
You can customize the following in the config file:
- The hotkey (default b)
- The backpack name (default Backpack)
- The backpack size (default 6x3)
- The backpack weight multiplier (default 0.5)
- Whether the backpack drops its items on death (default true)
- Whether dropped items are placed in a tombstone on death (default true)
- The spawn name of an item you must have equipped in order to open the backpack (default none)
Note that the mod doesn't come with an equippable backpack item, I don't know how to add items to the game, maybe someone else who knows how can create one.
Backpack contents are saved in a file tied to your profile name in BepInEx\Plugins\BackpackRedux
Please note that this is a new mod and you might want to back up your save before trying it out. I provide no warranty for this product.
Config
A config file BepInEx/config/aedenthorn.BackpackRedux.cfg is created after running the game once with this mod).
You can adjust the config values by editing this file using a text editor or in-game using the Config Manager.
To reload the config from the config file, type backpackredux reset into the game's console (F5).

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. In multiplayer, the host and every client need the same mods installed.
