Backpacks & More

Bugfixes

When equipping with right click, item in offhand disappears.

(Reported by Kosobrazik)

• Update to 26.1

• Update to 26.2 (still compatible with 26.1)

The datapack is still needed

This optional plugin allows the user to actually open the backpack inventory, just like with chests or other containers.

You can now download and apply the official Paper plugin, that allows you to open the backpack with a actual interface!

The feature is to be considered experimental.

New features:

• Added config panel

Run

/function bp:config/help

to help you through config of the datapack

Minor changes:

• Code reorganized
• CAN_LOCK_BACKPACKS renamed to LOCK_BACKPACKS
• Force toggles function comments removed
• Locked backpacks can now only be modified by the owner
• Fixed bug: "backpacks can be modified if CAN_LOCK_BACKPACKS is false"

See 26.2-beta DP

Major changes

• Added multicolor feature
• Added lock feature (You can lock your backpacks so nobody else can open them)
• Dropped items now never despawn
• On /reload and setup, a message will appear if the required resources are not activated

Minor changes

• Direct transformations (eg explorer -> rainbow) now consume items
• Items will not be consumed if in creative
• A message will appear when trying to open someone else backpack
• To pick a backpack up, you now use left click (right click is reserved to modify features)
• Left clicking while holding a backpack will now auto equip it, just like it happens with armors
• Shift + left click on a benched backpack will now auto equip it

Bugfixes Added ulg_bp_cheat scoreboard: it tracks players trying to cheat using the datapack common bugs (bugs are handled anyway)

Updated to 26.1 Bugfixes relative to the item lore

Updated to 26.1

• Required Resource Pack for 26.1-beta2 Datapack
• For mc 26.1 snapshots

Published as different version to address the "Not showing required resource pack download" issue.

• Required Resource Pack for 25.13 Datapack
• For mc 1.21.4 - 1.21.11

Published as different version to address the "Not showing required resource pack download" issue.

Backpacks Updated to version 26

• Backpacks will automatically update on opening
• Content preview now relies on the container component, alternatives to the default previews were removed.
• Each backpack now has its unique id. Copy pasting a backpack item from a world to another will trigger a Id change.

Backpacks Sounds!

• Backpacks now make sounds when equipped, rested, colored etc.

No more inventory switch

• Thanks to the unique id system, dropping a backpack while open will result in the backpack coming back to the player offhand. The inventory switch workaround is still present but meant to never trigger.

Minor changes:

• Datapack icon changed to match the Modrinth one
• Recipes updated. The lore option toggle is now removed.

• Transition update between 1.21.3 and 1.21.5
• Datapack structure reorganized for Beet Enviroment

• 1.5 (for 1.21-1.21.1) and 1.5.3 were merged into one pack.

Technical update

• Dynamic Setup messages added
• Infos about registered backpacks are now saved and, on update, confronted with the previous info

For 1.17 - 1.19

This version of the datapack, being old, is missing most modern features.

• Updated to 1.21.11 (still compatible with 1.21.5+)
• Added Christmas Chest Backpacks
• Wiki Updated

New backpacks!

• Added Christmas Chest Backpacks

Fixes and minor changes

• Dropping backpacks IN an anvil block does no longer place the backpack inside the block
