Peak Workshop

Custom maps and game modes for PEAK - made to play with friends.

Host a lobby, pick a map from the in-game Workshop and climb, fight and quest together. King of the Hill on a 600 m mountain, free-for-all PvP with suitcase loot, story adventures with talking NPCs and boss fights. And when you have seen it all: build your own map right inside the game and share it with one click.

Normal PEAK stays exactly as it is. Peak Workshop lives behind its own sign in the main menu.

Play together

Lobby browser (example)

• Real lobbies for up to 16 players: browse open lobbies with map preview, mode and player count, or join a private one with its join code.
• Teams - the host sorts players by hand or shuffles them randomly. Friendly fire on or off.
• Shared start - everyone loads the map, then a countdown starts the round for all at once.
• Late joiners can watch as a ghost or jump right in - the host decides.
• Friends get the map automatically when they join. No hunting for files.
• Host tools: kick and ban, change lobby settings mid-round with F6.

Game modes built into the maps

Every map brings its own rules - the host just presses start.

• King of the Hill - Ring Arena: a giant island with four biomes around one 600 m mountain. Hold the summit to win.
• Free-for-all PvP - loot weapons from suitcases and fight it out.
• Team matches with time limits and win conditions set by the map.
• Zombie waves, obstacle courses with spinning and swinging platforms, sky islands - and classic co-op climbing.

Adventures with NPCs, quests and bosses

• Talk to NPCs and pick your answers - trade items, take on quests, get gifts.
• Your choices change the world: a lift starts running, a ladder drops down, a bridge appears.
• Boss fights with a health bar, rage phases and helpers that join the fight.
• Pets that follow you around, enemies that guard their turf, loot drops.
• Try Crashfall Valley, a story adventure for 1-4 scouts.

The in-game Workshop

Like the Steam Workshop - but inside PEAK.

• Maps, 3D assets, items and NPC packs in one place, sorted into categories.
• Rate, subscribe, download with one click. Update badges tell you when a creator improved something.
• 3D viewer - spin and zoom any model before you use it.
• Publish your own creations public or private. Private content stays out of every list, but your lobby can still play it.

Build it yourself

• A full map editor inside the game - no Unity, no extra tools.
• Draw an area, fill it with a forest (or palms, ruins, flowers ...) in one step.
• Sculpt terrain, place hundreds of original PEAK blocks or your own 3D models.
• Moving platforms, traps and hazards, ball throwers, custom skies and music zones.
• Spawn points, goals and loot - then press P to test your map on the spot.

Create your own items and NPCs

• Turn any 3D model into a real PEAK item: food, heals, melee weapons, guns with projectiles and recoil, throwables, spells.
• Tune damage, knockback, ammo and effects, set where it sits in the hand and test-fire in the preview.
• Build NPCs: pick an animated figure, choose a role (talker, guard, fighter, shooter, boss, pet), write their dialogue.

Vanilla stays untouched

Host Game and Play Offline work exactly like before. Peak Workshop only starts when you use its own sign that hangs on chains in the main menu. Mod lobbies run in their own rooms, so vanilla players never land in a modded game by accident.

Video tutorials

New to building? These step-by-step videos take you from your first imported 3D model to a finished map.

#1 Import 3D Assets - GLB, OBJ, FBX or a ZIP - fix scale and textures, credit it, place it.	#2 Create Custom Items - Turn a 3D model into a flare gun with recoil, knockback and loot spawns.
#3 Create NPCs - Talking characters, quests that change the world, and a boss fight.	#4 Build a Map from the Bare Preset - From the Bare preset to a playable map - terrain, scatter areas, platforms, spawns, and the asset, item and NPC from #1-#3 put together.

Installation

Recommended: install with r2modman or the Thunderstore Mod Manager - click Install, done. BepInEx comes along automatically.

Manual install:

1. Install BepInExPack for PEAK.
2. Copy PeakWorkshop.dll to PEAK/BepInEx/plugins/PeakWorkshop/.
3. Start PEAK. The Peak Workshop sign drops into the main menu.

Requirements & compatibility

• Everyone in a lobby needs Peak Workshop. Mod lobbies are separate rooms, so friends without the mod won't see or join them.
• Maps, assets and items your lobby needs download automatically when you join.
• Peak Workshop needs an internet connection for the online Workshop and the lobby browser. Solo play and the editor work with your local content.
• Not compatible with TerrainRandomiser. It breaks the map build (maps look half-finished). Disable it while you play Peak Workshop maps.
• Other mods that change map generation may conflict as well. If a map looks broken, try without them first.
• English and German interface (switch in the Workshop panel).

Online features & privacy

The online Workshop and the lobby browser run on the Peak Workshop server. To use them, the mod sends:

• your Steam ID and Steam name - to sign you in, show who uploaded content and who hosts a lobby,
• the content you publish (maps, 3D assets, items, NPC packs, thumbnails) and your ratings, subscriptions and reports,
• lobby details while you host (name, map, mode, region, player count).

The server keeps your IP address with sign-in sessions and reports to stop spam and abuse. No passwords, no payment data, no tracking.

Content rules: only upload what you made yourself or are allowed to share. Every 3D asset needs its origin and license. No hateful, sexual or illegal content. Use the Report button on any Workshop page - creators see why their content was reported (never who reported it), and reported content can be hidden or removed.

FAQ

Does it change normal PEAK? No. Host Game and Play Offline stay 100 % vanilla. The mod only kicks in when you start through the Peak Workshop sign.

Do my friends need it? Yes, everyone in the lobby needs the mod. The maps themselves download automatically.

Is it free? Yes. Peak Workshop and everything in the Workshop are free.

Where are my maps stored? In PEAK/BepInEx/PeakWorkshop/ (in your mod manager profile folder when you use one). Mod updates don't touch it.

How do I report a bug or content? Content: open it in the Workshop and press Report. Bugs, feedback and questions: post them in the PEAK Modding Discord (Peak Workshop thread).

Why does a map take a moment to load? Custom maps are built while you load in. Big maps can take a few seconds longer than a vanilla run - grab a snack.

Known problems

• A few screens still show German number formats (like 1,4 s) in the English interface.
• Some Workshop content still has German descriptions.
• When you publish, the visibility defaults to Public - switch to Private first if you only want to share with your lobby.
• In the NPC editor, switching an NPC to Fighter, Shooter or Boss clears its dialogue. Set the role first, then write the dialogue.
• Very small 3D models (some packs are 30 cm tall) need the x10 scale step when you upload them.
