Pet Backpack is a Vintage Story mod by Gerste, MRGOOSE and Roscati. Pet Backpack brings back the pet backpack from PetAI, restoring a practical way to carry and manage your animal companions.
Why this mod is worth installing
This mod is useful for players who want the pet backpack functionality without installing the larger PetAI mod. It is especially relevant for worlds where animal companions are part of everyday travel or base life.
What Pet Backpack adds
Pet Backpack is a focused utility mod that reintroduces the pet backpack feature previously associated with PetAI. Its purpose is to make carrying a pet part of the available gameplay again without adding a broad collection of unrelated systems.
The mod is aimed at players who want a compact solution for handling animal companions during exploration and routine activities. It keeps the feature centered on pet transport rather than expanding the game with additional mechanics.
Because the project restores a specific feature, it is best viewed as a small utility addition for pet-focused playstyles. The backpack can help make companions easier to take along when moving between locations or organizing life around a settlement.
