# Wearable Backpacks



.. is a Minecraft mod which adds **backpacks**. But wait! It's not like anything you've

seen before. **Wearable Backpacks** continues the legacy of [BetterStorage][BS]'s

backpacks, and brings with it a beautifully designed and balanced alternative backpack

option unlike any other!



![Backpacks!](docs/header.png)



*"Backpacks are love. Backpacks are life."* -asiekierka  

*"copy-who?"* -MindlessPuppetz



## What's so great?



- **There can be only one!**

  Other mods allow you to carry multiple backpacks in your inventory. **WBs** doesn't.

  This design, as well as the resulting implementation has been carried over from its

  predecessor. But what the mod is lacking in convenience, it's trying to make up in

  charm and configurability.

- **Armor up, or storage up?**

  With the default settings, backpacks will function as armor, taking up the chest armor

  equipment slot, protecting from as well as taking damage just like leather armor. This

  way, you have to *choose* between more protection or more storage. This can be turned

  off though, in case you don't like it.



- **Play with friends, share backpacks!**

  Having a backpack on your back looks cool and all, but if only you could do something

  with that beauty. Well, lucky you! Other players (hopefully, without ill intentions)

  can open your backpack and borrow a pick and some torches on a mining trip. This of

  course only works as long as your back is facing towards them.

- **Dying is [FUN][FUN]!**

  Sick of losing all your valuables when you make a small little misstep into the nearest

  pool of lava? Don't worry, the items inside your backpack will be... mostly safe. While

  the backpack itself is not immune to explosions or being broken by other players, after

  death it will gently place itself down near your point of failure, ready to be

  retrieved.



- **Dyeing is fun~!**

  Backpacks can be colored using Minecraft's *fantastic* dyeing system. Unlike some silly

  mods that only allow the 16 base colors, with our pretties you can mix and match your

  dyes to customize them in any way you like!

- **Configuration Nation**

  Not sure if **WBs** will fit your play style? Don't worry! This mod is meant to be

  incredibly configurable with its [easy-to-use ingame config menu][CONF]. This allows

  backpacks to be balanced, regardless of whether they're used in a personal hand-picked

  pack, a huge kitchen sink modpack or a deadly hardcore-massacre-of-doom experience with

  sprinkles on top.



## Usage



Think of **Wearable Backpacks** backpacks as portable, wearable chests. After you've

crafted one, simply place it on the ground and fill it with whatever you'd like to take

with you. Next, **sneak** and **break** the backpack to **equip** it. You'll notice that

equipping is faster than breaking.



Now that the backpack is where it belongs (your back), you can **unequip** it again by

**sneaking** and **right-clicking** the ground with an **empty hand** (specifically, the

top of a solid block).



By turning on a config option, it's also possible to open the backpack using a keybind,

which you can find in the controls menu (default: `B`).



### Crafting Recipe



- 7x Leather

- 1x Gold Ingot

- 1x Wool

### Additional Features



- As already mentioned above, this mod has many, easy to use configuration options.

  Simply click **Mods** in the main menu or **Mod Options** ingame, search for

  "Wearable Backpacks" and click the **Config** button.

- When backpacks are equipped as armor, they may also be enchanted just like armor.

  (This feature is missing from 1.10 due to missing enchantment hooks in Forge.)

- Some mobs may rarely spawn with backpacks equipped, containing random loot.
