## Info:<\/p>\n

In this mod you make various items (like backpacks) for QOL when exploring.<\/p>\n

Theres backpacks, and paragliders that you can make. (possibly more stuff to come in the future)<\/p>\n

## Details:<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 **- Materials:**<\/p>\n

You can put string together to make string fiber.
\nAdditionally, you can shear items like leather and rotten flesh to make leather hide.
\nYou need to cook the fibers to get tempered thread which is an ingredient in upgrading backpacks and making the paraglider.
\n6 wool in a crafting table (check images for shape) makes some wool fabric.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 **- Backpacks:**<\/p>\n

You can combine leather hide and string fiber into bundles (the base mc version).
\nBundles mixed with leather hide and string fiber can make backpacks, which can be upgraded in a smithing table with more of those items.
\nThese backpacks are very balanced with the max only being a single chest in size. (which requires a shulker box to make)<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 **- Other:**<\/p>\n

You can combine tempered thread\u00a0and wool fabric into a fabric paraglider.<\/p>\n

## Extra:<\/p>\n

Give suggestions in the comments on stuff you’d like to see out of this mod.<\/p>\n

^ Please report any bugs there too<\/p>\n

I give permission to anyone who wants to use this in a modpack.<\/p>\n

^ As long as its on Curseforge (or modrinth ig)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
