Opening your inventory you'll find the new Back Slot. After equipping your Backpack, you can store items placing items ontop of it and display it on your back for other players to see. Backpacks holding items cannot be taken off unless you place it into the world using Sprint + RClick. Interact with the backpack to see the items inside or Sprint + RClick agian to re-equip!

Show Your True Colors!

Choose from a variety of new backpacks to clean up your inventory. Leather Backpacks can be dyed any color you can imagine, just like it's armor. Metal Backpacks can be trimmed in a smithing table or used with a Upgrade Template to convert it to a larger and fireproof Netherite Backpack. Ender Backpacks hold a global inventory unique to the player who crafted or trimmed it, and other players can access that inventory if you make extras.

Fill 'er up!

New items are automatically put into the top of the backpack. Hovering over the backpack you have equipped previews the items you have inside. If you need to get the chapstick that might've fallen to the bottom, ask your friend to help out and grab it for you. Double-check your diamonds after they've been in there though.

Inventory Controls

Insert or take items just by clicking directly onto the equipped backpack. To help move you items around use your Sprint Key + Click as if you were shift clicking items into any other inventory. This key can be bound to something different in the settings. You can press Sprint Key + Right Click on a block to quickly place your backpack and access all of your items.

More than Meets the Eye!

Decorated Pots and Cauldrons can also be equipped. Pots can store 128 stacks of a single kind of item. Cauldrons hold 24 buckets of any fluid. These types of wearables are too heavy to be placed and can only be taken off by emptying them first.

On Death

Your items will stay safely where you died inside a backpack dropped at your feet. Pots and Cauldrons will drop as an item that can only be picked up with an empty Back Slot. (Hurry Back!)

Let's See You Move!

Winged Backpacks allow you to use your elytra with a backpack and Ender Backpacks are bound to a player when crafted or re-trimmed. Unlike Ender Chests, their inventory is unique to that bound player. Share a Ender Backpack with a friend to remotely send items to one another.

Redstone Components

Use Hoppers and Comparators to create complex loaders and contraptions with your backpacks. Using Ender Backpacks can be a means for long ranged redstone or to simply send items back to your base when you no longer need them.
