This is a community-maintained compatibility fix for the original EasyBackpack mod.

What is this?
Are you tired of having to drop your backpack to access it? No need to worry, you don't have to anymore! Using a custom keybind (see below) you can access your backpack without having to drop it.
This package is a FORK of the original EasyBackpack mod. It is not an official update by
the original author. It exists because the PEAK game update of 2026-08-12 broke the
original 1.1.2 build (BackpackSlot.hasBackpack was removed, GUIManager.OpenBackpackWheel
signature changed, and the game's BackpackWheel.Update reorder broke the mod's IL hook),
and the original author has not (yet) released a fix.
Note on licensing: unlike some other mods, EasyBackpack has no LICENSE file. All code credit goes to nickklmao. This package only repairs the game-API breakage.
What was fixed in 1.1.3?
| Breakage | Original (1.1.2) | Fixed (1.1.3) |
|---|---|---|
BackpackSlot.hasBackpack field removed by the game |
referenced 2× → crash on backpack key | now uses BackpackSlot.IsEmpty() (backpackType == BackpackType.None) |
GUIManager.OpenBackpackWheel(BackpackReference) → (BackpackReference, int slotCount, BackpackSlot.BackpackType) |
single-arg call → missing-arg crash | now passes slotCount (itemSlots.Length) + backpackType from the equipped slot |
Game's BackpackWheel.Update reordered its close checks, breaking the mod's MonoMod IL hook |
wheel instantly closed after opening | IL hook replaced with a Harmony Prefix/Postfix that keeps the wheel open while the backpack key is held |
No gameplay logic was changed — only the three game-API incompatibilities above.
Manual Installation
- Download BepInEx from here and follow the installation instructions provided there.
- Download this mod and drag and drop the EasyBackpack.dll file into your PEAK BepInEx plugins folder
located at:
<game directory>\BepInEx\plugins - Remove any previous copy of the original EasyBackpack.dll first (same plugin GUID — keeping both installed will conflict).
Configuration
The default keybind for accessing your backpack is B, editable in:
<game directory>\BepInEx\config\nickklmao.EasyBackpack.cfg
- Backpack Key (default
B) — the key to open your backpack while it's on your back. - Alternative Backpack Key (default
None) — an optional second key.
