Release License

Backpacks with upgrades for Minecraft Bedrock Edition: the gameplay of the Java mod Sophisticated Backpacks, in single player and on servers. Wear them, place them, fill them, and slot in upgrades that pick up, feed, craft and sort for you.

Six backpack tiers placed on the grass: leather, copper, iron, gold, diamond and netherite

Features

  • Six tiers, from Leather to Netherite. Bigger tiers hold more items and more upgrades.

    Upgrade slots112357

  • Sophisticated Backpacks' own screen: a scroll bar, search, sorting, quick transfer buttons, and an upgrade column with on/off switches and a settings tab for every upgrade.

    The Diamond Backpack screen, full of items, with crafting, magnet, feeding, pickup and smelting upgrades

  • Every upgrade from the Java mod: Pickup, Magnet, Feeding, Filter, Compacting, Void, Restock, Deposit, Refill, Tool Swapper, Crafting, Stonecutter, Anvil, Smithing, Smelting / Smoking / Blasting (and auto versions), Stack, Jukebox, Tank, Battery, Pump, XP Pump, Alchemy, Mob Catcher, Inception, Everlasting and Infinity. Most come in a basic and an advanced version with item filters. The Ender Linker links backpacks so they share their contents.

    The Advanced Magnet upgrade switched on with Alt+Z: the drops around the player fly into the worn backpack

  • Contents belong to the backpack: drop it, hand it to a friend, put it in a chest, place it on the ground. The items stay inside. Shift over a backpack to peek at what it holds.

  • Worn on your back, held, or placed as a block, with a 3D model. Mobs sometimes spawn wearing backpacks, and dungeon chests can hold backpacks and upgrades.

  • In-game text in English and Simplified Chinese; each player sees their own game language.

Install

Players need the client mod to open backpacks, in single player and on a server. A server needs the server mod. Use the same version on both.

With lip:

lip install github.com/MiracleForest/AlleviatedBackpacks#client   # players: in the game folder
lip install github.com/MiracleForest/AlleviatedBackpacks          # servers: in the server folder

Or download from the latest release:

  • Players: alleviatedbackpacks-client-windows-x64.zip. In LeviLauncher, extract it so that the AlleviatedBackpacks folder lands in the game version's mods folder. Every local world gets the backpacks; nothing to switch on.
  • Servers: alleviatedbackpacks-server-windows-x64.zip, extracted into the server's plugins folder. The server hands its resource pack to joining players.

Requires Minecraft Bedrock Edition 1.26.51 with LeviLamina 26.51.x (Windows x64). Players without the client mod can still join a server and carry backpacks, but cannot open them: they get a download link instead of the backpack screen.

How to use

Crafting. Every recipe is in the recipe book; search for "backpack" or "upgrade".

The Leather Backpack recipe in a crafting table

  • Leather Backpack: chest in the middle, leather and string around it.
  • Next tier: surround a backpack with copper / iron / gold ingots or diamonds; a Netherite Backpack is made at the smithing table. The contents and upgrades come along.
  • Upgrades start from an Upgrade Base (string, iron, leather). Dye backpacks in a crafting table.

Opening. Right-click with a backpack in hand, press B to open the one you carry or wear, or right-click a placed backpack. Sneak + right-click places a backpack; sneak + right-click with an empty hand picks it up again. Put an upgrade into one of the slots on the left of the screen and click its tab on the right to set it up.

Settings

The config files are in the mod's config folder (mods/AlleviatedBackpacks/config/ in the game, plugins/AlleviatedBackpacks/config/ on a server), created on first start. /backpack reload applies changes.

  • general.json: allowNesting (backpacks in backpacks without the Inception upgrade), allowShulkerBoxes, usePlayerLocale (messages in each player's language).
  • sophisticatedbackpacks-server.json: the Java mod's own settings with the same names, such as slot counts per tier, disallowed items and whether players may open other players' backpacks.
  • <upgrade>.json: each upgrade's ranges, filter slots and speeds (for example magnet.json).
  • client_gui.json (game only): sortButtonsPosition, playButtonSound.

Running a server? Every command and config key is listed in docs/ADMIN.md.
