Frequently asked questions

What do I need to craft my first backpack?
You'll need leather, wool, wood planks, and a chest. Combine these in a crafting grid to make a Tiny backpack, which is the starter tier with 45 slots of storage.
Can I wear a backpack and still use armor?
The backpack equips into your chest armor slot, so you can't wear a chestplate at the same time. However, you can still wear a helmet, leggings, and boots normally.
How do I open my backpack while wearing it?
Press the B key to open your worn backpack and access its storage slots instantly. You can do this anywhere without needing to place it down.
What happens if I die while wearing a backpack?
Your backpack and its contents will drop as an item on the ground, just like any other equipped gear. You can pick it back up and re-equip it.
Can I dye my backpack different colors?
Yes, combine your backpack with any vanilla dye in a crafting grid to change its main color. Medium and Large backpacks also support colored wool carpet trims for additional customization.
How do I place a backpack on the ground as storage?
Right-click the ground while holding the backpack to place it as a storage block. To pick it back up, hold Shift and right-click it.
Can I have multiple backpacks placed at once?
Yes, you can place as many backpacks as you want throughout your world. Each one retains its own inventory, making them useful for organizing different item types.
What's the difference between the backpack tiers?
Tiny has 45 slots, Small has 54 slots, Medium has 63 slots with trim support, and Large has 72 slots with trim support. You upgrade by crafting higher tiers using better materials.
Do backpacks work in multiplayer servers?
Yes, backpacks function normally on multiplayer servers and work like any other equipped item or placed block.
Can I use backpacks with other mods that add storage?
Backpacks are compatible with most mods and work alongside other storage solutions. However, some mods that heavily modify inventory mechanics may have conflicts—test in your specific modpack if issues occur.
