Frequently asked questions

How do I craft my first backpack?
Craft a Leather Backpack using basic materials like leather and wood at a crafting table. Once you have it, place it in your back slot in your inventory to wear it, or place it on the ground to access its storage like a chest.
What's the difference between wearing a backpack and placing it down?
Wearing a backpack in your back slot lets you carry it while moving and access it from anywhere. Placing it on the ground as a block lets you use certain upgrades that only work when the bag is placed, like crafting tables or smelters.
How do I enable the item magnet to pick up drops automatically?
Open your backpack's menu and add a Magnet upgrade to it. Once installed, the magnet will automatically pull dropped items into your bag when they're nearby, so you don't have to manually pick everything up.
Can I set up auto-feeding so I don't starve while mining?
Yes—add an Auto-Feeder upgrade to your backpack. Once enabled, it will automatically consume food from your bag's inventory to keep your hunger bar full while you're mining or exploring.
How do I upgrade my backpack to a higher tier?
Craft a higher-tier backpack (Iron, Gold, Diamond, or Netherite) and place your old backpack inside it. Your items and upgrades will transfer to the new bag, which has more storage slots and upgrade space.
What happens to my items if I die?
By default, your backpack drops like any other item. Add a Soulbound upgrade to your bag to make it stay with you after death instead of being lost—this is especially useful for end-game bags with valuable items.
Can I store liquids and energy in my backpack?
Yes, higher-tier backpacks can store liquids like water and lava, as well as energy for machines. You'll need the appropriate upgrades installed to enable these features.
Do backpacks work with my chests and barrels?
Yes, backpacks can connect to chests and barrels to move items between them automatically. This lets you set up item sorting and storage networks without manually transferring everything.
What should I do if my tool is about to break?
Add a Tool Swap upgrade to your backpack. It will automatically switch to a fresh copy of your tool when the current one is about to break, so you never run out of durability mid-adventure.
Can I put a crafting table inside my backpack?
Yes—add a Crafting upgrade to your backpack when it's placed on the ground. You can then craft items directly from your bag's inventory without needing a separate crafting table nearby.
