Valheim Backpack

Valheim Backpack

A craftable backpack with its own equipment slot, worn visibly on your back. Four forge upgrades: up to 32 slots and 400 carry weight, costing item weight and movement speed. Place it as an indestructible chest and pick it up again; contents survive death via your gravestone. Optional EquipmentAndQuickSlots slot. Multiplayer-ready.

[b]Description[/b]
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.
