📋 About This Mod
As I'm sure you're well aware, this backpack mod has been uploaded before after Tugakit took theirs down, most notably the one containing a trojan. Ryebread has been kind enough to re-upload the 1. 2. 0 version from before this happened, as well as 1. 4. 0, which contains my rework of the whole system to fix saving. As I continue to improve upon it, I'm uploading it separately and will continue here henceforth. The source code can always be found on GitHub.
With that out of the way, let's continue.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust: 1,082 endorsements and 138k downloads show it's a staple.
- Multiplayer save fix is a game-changer for co-op—no more lost loot for friends.
- Revives a classic mod with a clean version, so you get the nostalgia without the malware scare.
⚠️ Cons
- Only adds a backpack—if you're looking for deeper inventory overhauls, this is basic.
- Potential conflicts with other inventory or UI mods that alter the same slots.
- Last updated in June 2025, so future game patches might break it until the author returns.
For 7 Days to Die players who play co-op and want a simple, reliable backpack that actually saves for everyone. Also for veterans who remember the original and want a safe re-release. Skip if you want complex inventory systems or solo-only play—you can get by without it.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a gameplay mod, make sure to enable mods in the game's launcher (EAC off if required) to avoid crashes.
- Place the mod folder in the 'Mods' directory of your 7 Days to Die installation, not in the save folder.
- Test in a single-player world first to confirm the backpack works before jumping into multiplayer.
