Frequently asked questions

How do I craft a backpack?
Check the Crafting Recipes section on the wiki for the exact recipe. Once crafted, you'll have a backpack item in your inventory that you can place down like a block and right-click to open.
Can I wear a backpack like other mods do?
No, Resource Backpack's Mod backpacks must be placed on the ground to access them—they don't work as wearable items. This is by design to balance gameplay and avoid conflicts with accessory mods.
Why doesn't my backpack work with Accessories or Trinkets?
The mod is intentionally incompatible with Accessories, Trinkets, and Curios API Continuation to maintain game balance. Backpacks are designed as placed storage blocks, not worn accessories.
How do I make my backpack bigger?
Open the configuration file and adjust the rows and columns settings for backpack size. After saving and reloading, new backpacks you craft will use the updated dimensions.
What happens if I break a placed backpack?
Breaking a backpack will drop it as an item, and you can pick it up and place it elsewhere. Make sure to empty it first or use the guide on transporting multiple backpacks to avoid losing items.
Do backpacks work with Shulker Box Tooltip?
Yes, Resource Backpack's Mod is fully compatible with Shulker Box Tooltip across all mod loaders, so you can preview backpack contents before opening them.
Can I carry multiple backpacks in my inventory?
Yes, you can carry backpack items in your inventory, but you'll need to place each one down separately to access its contents. See the guide on transporting multiple backpacks for best practices.
Do backpacks save their contents when I move them?
Yes, backpacks retain all stored items when placed, broken, and moved to a new location. Just make sure you pick up the backpack block itself rather than letting it despawn.
Can I use backpacks in multiplayer?
Yes, backpacks work in multiplayer servers and realms just like single-player. Each placed backpack is a separate storage block that any player can access if they can reach it.
What's the difference between default and configured backpack sizes?
The default configuration provides a standard backpack size, but you can edit the config file to customize rows and columns to make backpacks larger or smaller for your playstyle.
