About this Mod

Backpacks

...is a simple, no-frills backpack mod for the average adventurer. There are no upgrades, there are no fluid tanks, there is no sleeping bag. Only you, and your backpack.

Usage

Backpacks come in two sizes: regular, and large. A regular backpack is as large as a single chest, and a large backpack is as large as a double chest. Backpacks can be placed on the ground by sneaking and right-clicking, or worn in the chest slot or the "back" slot if Curios is installed. A placed backpack can be equipped by sneaking and right clicking it. It will try to go into the "back" slot first, then the chest slot, whichever is open. If it can't be worn, nothing will happen, and you'll have to break it and pick it up.

When worn, or held in the inventory, the "first" (priority: curios > chest > top-leftmost in inventory) backpack available can be opened by pressing the Open Backpack key (default: B). You can also open a backpack held in your hand by right-clicking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Backpacks server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong neoforge version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.21.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is Backpacks compatible with neoforge?

Backpacks officially supports neoforge for Minecraft 1.21.1. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Backpacks – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Backpacks consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
