Quickly Switch Between Wearing and Placing Your Backpack

The Sneak-Click Technique

The mod includes a convenient shortcut for rapidly toggling your backpack between worn and placed states, perfect for situations where you need quick access or want to free up your chestplate slot.

How to Use Sneak-Click

1. Hold down your sneak button (default: Shift)

2. While sneaking, right-click on your backpack

3. If wearing it: the bag will instantly place on the ground in front of you

4. If it's on the ground: the bag will jump into your chestplate slot

5. Release sneak and continue playing

When This Is Useful

  • Combat situations: Place your bag down to equip armor, then pick it back up after
  • Accessing shared storage: Drop your bag next to a friend's for easy item transfers
  • Organizing inventory: Quickly swap between wearing the bag and using a different chestplate
  • Water safety: Place your bag on the ground before entering deep water to prevent it from sinking

This mechanic eliminates the need to open menus or use your inventory screen, keeping you in the action.
