Frequently asked questions

How do I craft a basic Backpack?
The Backpack is made using the sophisticatedbackpacks:basic_backpack recipe, which is a shaped crafting recipe. Place the required materials in a crafting table grid to obtain it.
How do I upgrade my Backpack to a higher tier?
Use the sophisticatedbackpacks:backpack_upgrade recipe type, which upgrades a backpack into the next tier (e.g., Backpack to Iron Backpack, Iron to Gold, Gold to Diamond, Diamond to Netherite). The Netherite Backpack is obtained via the sophisticatedbackpacks:smithing_backpack_upgrade recipe.
How do I add upgrades to my backpack?
Craft an Upgrade Base, then craft specific upgrades like the Pickup Upgrade, Magnet Upgrade, or Crafting Upgrade using shaped recipes. Upgrades are inserted into the backpack's upgrade slots through its GUI.
How do I open my backpack?
Equip the backpack in your back slot or hold it, then use the configured keybind to open its inventory GUI. From there you can access storage, upgrade slots, and settings.
How do I wear a backpack on my back?
Place the backpack into the dedicated back slot in your inventory (curios-style slot). Once equipped, it renders on your character and can be opened with the backpack keybind.
How do I increase my backpack's storage capacity?
Apply Stack Upgrades to increase how many items fit per slot. Stack Upgrade Starter Tier, Tier 1 through Tier 4, and Stack Upgrade Omega Tier progressively raise stack limits, and Stack Downgrade Tier 1-3 reduce them if needed.
How do I convert a Stack Upgrade to a higher tier?
Use the sophisticatedcore:upgrade_next_tier recipe type, which converts a Stack Upgrade of one tier into the next (e.g., Tier 1 to Tier 2). Conversion recipes exist from Starter Tier up through Tier 4, and Tier 1/2/3 to higher tiers.
What does the Crafting Upgrade do?
The Crafting Upgrade adds a crafting grid to the backpack's GUI, letting you craft items directly from stored materials. Craft it via a shaped recipe and insert it into an upgrade slot.
What does the Magnet Upgrade do?
The Magnet Upgrade pulls nearby dropped items into the backpack automatically. The Advanced Magnet Upgrade extends this with greater range or filtering options.
What does the Inception Upgrade do?
The Inception Upgrade allows a backpack to be stored inside another backpack, enabling nested storage. It is crafted via a shaped recipe and placed in an upgrade slot.
What does the Everlasting Upgrade do?
The Everlasting Upgrade prevents the backpack from being destroyed on death or similar loss events. Craft it and insert it into an upgrade slot to apply the effect.
What does the Tank Upgrade do?
The Tank Upgrade adds fluid storage to the backpack, allowing it to hold liquids. It is crafted via a shaped recipe and placed in an upgrade slot.
