Crafting Recipes and Progression for Sophisticated Backpacks

Recipe types you will use

The mod uses a small set of recipe types. crafting_shaped covers most item and upgrade recipes. sophisticatedbackpacks:basic_backpack produces the base Backpack. sophisticatedbackpacks:backpack_upgrade handles tier upgrades between backpack blocks. sophisticatedbackpacks:smithing_backpack_upgrade is the smithing-table path for the highest backpack upgrade. sophisticatedcore:upgrade_next_tier converts stack upgrades from one tier to the next.

Building upgrades from the Upgrade Base

Almost every upgrade starts from an Upgrade Base. Craft the Upgrade Base, then combine it in a shaped recipe with the materials that define the upgrade. This is how you get Pickup Upgrade, Magnet Upgrade, Filter Upgrade, Void Upgrade, Deposit Upgrade, Restock Upgrade, Refill Upgrade, Crafting Upgrade, Smelting Upgrade, Blasting Upgrade, Smoking Upgrade, Stonecutter Upgrade, Anvil Upgrade, Compacting Upgrade, Alchemy Upgrade, Tank Upgrade, Pump Upgrade, Battery Upgrade, Jukebox Upgrade, Mob Catcher Upgrade, Tool Swapper Upgrade, Feeding Upgrade, Experience Pump Upgrade, and their Advanced versions.

Stack upgrade progression

Stack upgrades move through Starter Tier, Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3, Tier 4, and Omega Tier. Use the Stack Upgrade Conversion items to step up: Starter Tier to Tier 1, Tier 1 to Tier 2, Tier 2 to Tier 3, Tier 3 to Tier 4. Direct conversions exist from Starter Tier to Tier 2, Tier 3, and Tier 4, and from Tier 1 to Tier 3 and Tier 4. Stack Downgrade Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 step back down if you need to reuse a lower tier.

Backpack tier upgrades

Backpack blocks follow the same upgrade logic: Backpack to Copper Backpack, Copper to Iron, Iron to Gold, Gold to Diamond, Diamond to Netherite. Each is a sophisticatedbackpacks:backpack_upgrade recipe, with the smithing path used for the final step.
