<\/p>\n
This project adds simple, vanilla friendly backpacks to Minecraft.
\n
\nThese backpacks, also known as Chestpacks, lets players pick up and carry chests!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Chestpacks offer an intuitive storage solution with early-midgame accessibility.<\/p>\n

\n
\n\u2022 Left-Click a chest with an empty Chestpack to pick it up. Right-Click the ground to place the chest back down.<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
\u2022 The Chestpack can pick up the following containers: trapped chests, barrels, and chests.
\n<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u2022 Chest slot full? Don’t worry – the Chestpack’s still got your _back_! Since it’s an offhand equipment, there’s no need to sacrifice protection.
\n<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u2022 Built to last – Chestpacks are fireproof!
\n<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
### Burden Mechanic
\n\u2022 Holding more than one loaded chestpack will burden players with their weight!

\n### Why a Datapack?
\n
\nThis project uses a datapack to ensure:<\/p>\n
\u2022 No Mods Required \u2705: Works on vanilla servers! Friends can join hassle-free. Once the datapack\/mod is installed by the host, no client installations are needed.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Compatability \u2705: Will work with practically any mod!<\/p>\n
\u2022 Lightweight \u2705: Minimal performance impact compared to mods.<\/p>\n
\nHowever, due to limitations of datapacks, there are a couple constraints:<\/p>\n
\n\u2022 Creative Mode Pickup \u26d4: Chest pickup does not work in Creative Mode. Players have to be in Survival.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Model Alignment \u26d4: Datapacks can\u2019t fully customize entity models. Chestpack models are anchored to the arm; This means it won’t align to the player’s back during fast movement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
