MIMESIS - InventoryExpansion

🛟 Need help or found a bug? Get support at support.doodesch.de.

Adds extra backpack inventory slots you toggle on demand with a configurable key, shown in a custom animated panel that slides in and out. Carry more loot without permanently cluttering the standard 4-slot hotbar. Standalone, no MimicAPI required.

Features

Adds 4, 9, or 16 extra inventory slots laid out as a square grid (2x2, 3x3, or 4x4); the count is configurable. The new slots are real, usable inventory, not just a visual overlay.
Toggle between the standard hotbar and the backpack with a configurable key (default C); the mod reads the key live each frame.
Extra slots render in a custom backpack UI panel that uses the bundled sprite and slides in and out with a short eased animation. If the image is missing it falls back to a translucent black panel.
Shows a visual key hint on the panel displaying the currently configured toggle key.
Context-aware slot scrolling: while the backpack is open, slot cycling affects only the backpack slots; while it is closed, it affects only the standard 4 slots.
Cursor handoff on toggle: opening the backpack moves your selection to the first backpack slot, and closing it returns the selection to the standard inventory, so the cursor never stays stuck on a hidden slot. Each direction is configurable.
Optional backpack-first pickup: while the backpack is open, items you pick up fill the backpack slots before the standard inventory (host / single-player only).
Optional movement-speed reduction to 50% while the backpack is fully open, restored automatically when it closes.
Automatically hides the panel during loading screens and map changes, and when you leave the game or return to the title screen.

Requirements

Component	Version
MIMESIS	0.3.0 (current Steam build)
MelonLoader	0.7.3+

Dependency: LavaGang-MelonLoader-0.7.3.

Installation

Recommended: Thunderstore mod manager

Install through a Thunderstore mod manager such as r2modman or Gale. The MelonLoader dependency and the backpack asset are handled automatically.

Manual

Install MelonLoader 0.7.3 into MIMESIS.
Download this package and place InventoryExpansion.dll into MIMESIS/Mods/.
Place the bundled Backpack.png at MIMESIS/Mods/Assets/Backpack.png (an Assets subfolder next to the DLL). Without it the panel still works but renders as a plain translucent box.
Launch the game once to generate the configuration file at UserData/MelonPreferences.cfg.

Configuration

Stored in UserData/MelonPreferences.cfg under the [InventoryExpansion] category. You can also edit these through a MelonPreferences UI.

Option	Description	Default	Values/Range
`Enabled`	Enable InventoryExpansion functionality. When disabled, the mod will not modify game behavior.	`true`	`true` / `false`
`AdditionalSlots`	Number of extra inventory slots to add on top of the game's default inventory size. Valid values: 4, 9, or 16 (square grids 2x2, 3x3, 4x4). Other values are rounded to the nearest valid option.	`4`	`4`, `9`, or `16`
`BackpackKey`	Key to toggle backpack visibility. Press to switch between standard inventory and backpack.	`C`	Any Unity key name (case-insensitive). Invalid or empty values fall back to `C`.
`ReduceMovementSpeed`	When enabled, player movement speed is reduced to 50% while the backpack is fully open.	`true`	`true` / `false`
`SelectBackpackSlotOnOpen`	When opening the backpack, move the selected slot to the first backpack slot.	`true`	`true` / `false`
`RestoreStandardSlotOnClose`	When closing the backpack, return the selected slot to the standard inventory (the slot selected before opening).	`true`	`true` / `false`
`FillBackpackFirst`	While the backpack is open, picked-up items fill the backpack slots before the standard inventory. Host / single-player only.	`true`	`true` / `false`

Usage

Press the configured toggle key (default C) to slide the backpack panel in and out. The panel sits at the bottom-right of the screen and shows a key hint.
When the backpack is open, slot scrolling and selection cycle only the backpack slots; when it is closed, they cycle only the standard 4 hotbar slots.
Opening the backpack jumps your selection to the first backpack slot; closing it returns the selection to your previous standard slot, so the cursor is never stuck on a hidden slot (toggle each via SelectBackpackSlotOnOpen / RestoreStandardSlotOnClose).
With FillBackpackFirst on, items you pick up while the backpack is open go into backpack slots first. This changes server-side placement, so it only applies when you host or play single-player.
With ReduceMovementSpeed on, you move at 50% speed while the backpack is fully open, and full speed is restored when it closes.
The panel auto-hides during loading screens and map changes, and when you leave the game or return to the title screen.
