Valheim Backpack

Description

Adds a craftable, upgradeable backpack to Valheim. It occupies its own equipment slot, is visibly worn on your back, and gives you real extra carrying capacity — at the price of weight and movement speed. It can even be placed in the world as a personal stash and follows you into the gravestone on death, contents intact.

Installation instructions

• []Install BepInEx for Valheim (e.g. via your mod manager).[/]

  ValheimBackpack.dll into

  Valheim/BepInEx/plugins/.[/]

  []In multiplayer, install the mod on every client and on the dedicated server.[/]

  []Optional: the placement hotkey (default

  G) can be changed in

  BepInEx/config/org.bepinex.plugins.valheimbackpack.cfg.[/]

• []Craftable at the forge (deer hide, leather scraps, bronze), upgradeable 3 times through the ages (iron, wolf pelt, linen thread)[/]

  []Each level adds a row of slots and 100 carry weight: 8 slots/100 up to 32 slots/400[/]

  []Own equipment slot — wearable together with a cape, visible on your back (synced in multiplayer)[/]

  []Backpack panel next to your inventory with quick-move support and a weight display[/]

  []Place it as an indestructible, never-despawning container; crouch + use picks it back up[/]

  []Goes into your gravestone on death with all contents preserved[/]

  []Upgrading never empties the backpack; movement penalty scales −2 % per level[/]

  []Optional integration: a dedicated "Backpack" slot in the EquipmentAndQuickSlots panel[/]

• []BepInEx 5.x[/]

  []Required on all clients and the dedicated server in multiplayer[/]

  []Optional: EquipmentAndQuickSlots by RandyKnapp (adds the backpack to its equipment panel; everything works without it)[/]
