About this Mod
This mod adds a set of tiered backpacks to expand your inventory on the go. Craft backpacks from leather all the way up to netherite, each with more storage than the last. Open them directly from your hand, place them down as blocks, or wear them in your back slot and activate with a keybind (if you have curios installed)
Features:
- 5 tiers of backpacks, Leather, Gold, Iron, Diamond, and Netherite
- Place backpacks as blocks in the world, then pick them up with your items still inside (shift right click)
- Wear backpacks in the Curios back slot (requires Curios API)
- Magnet upgrade, craft it with any backpack to automatically pull nearby items into it when turned on
- Search, sort, deposit all, and withdraw all buttons in the backpack GUI
- Backpack contents are preserved when breaking and placing
- Upgrade backpacks through the smithing table
