About this mod Author’s original text
ReefPacks
The Reef's backpacks. Six packs, one per biome, worn in the cape slot; each one is a real inventory that travels with the item: drop it, die with it, put it in a chest, it keeps what is inside.
Install on the server and on every client. The server refuses a client that does not run the same version (Jötunn network compatibility). Players on The Reef get it through the TheReef modpack.
What it does
- Satchel (Meadows), Rugged Backpack (Black Forest), Bloodbag Wetpack (Swamp), Arctic Sherpa Pack (Mountains), Lox Hide Knappsack (Plains), Explorers Wisppack (Mistlands). Same recipes and upgrade costs as before; the grid grows with the pack's level.
- Open it: inventory open, press I (changeable in reef.packs.cfg). Press again to close. Option: open the pack every time the inventory opens.
- Weight: what is inside weighs 30 % of its real weight (server setting).
- Carry bonus while the pack is worn (+5 to +30 depending on the pack, server setting).
- Speed malus while a pack is worn (10 %, the same for every pack, server setting): a cape or a pack, your call.
- Portals: a portal refuses you when a pack holds something that portal refuses, exactly like your main inventory. With AdvancedPortals the pack follows the portal tier.
- Crafting stations see what is in the worn pack (with AzuCraftyBoxes on the server).
- A pack cannot go inside a pack.
Coming from AdventureBackpacks
Nothing to do. The packs you already own keep their look, their level and their contents: the item names and the save format are the same. Remove AdventureBackpacks (and its Vapok library) from the profile; the two refuse to load together.
Not carried over yet: the biome effects (feather fall, demister, frost/cold, troll armour), the quick-drop key, the creature drops, the legacy iron/silver packs.

Problems
Tell Synistro on Discord with your mod manager's log (Settings > Browse profile folder > BepInEx/LogOutput.log).
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.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
