![BackPacks+](https://i.imgur.com/fyxcbka.png) [Wiki](https://gitlab.com/aj-rom/backpacks/-/wikis/home) | [Source](https://gitlab.com/aj-rom/backpacks) | [Support](https://gitlab.com/aj-rom/backpacks/-/work_items/new?type=Issue) | [Permissions/Commands](https://gitlab.com/aj-rom/backpacks/-/wikis/Permissions) | [Changelog](https://gitlab.com/aj-rom/backpacks/-/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md) ## Craftable backpacks that players hold, wear and upgrade. Any number of backpack types, each with its own look, size, recipe and rules. Contents are saved in a database, so they survive crashes, lost items and server switches. **Requires Minecraft 26.1+ and Java 25.** Runs on CraftBukkit, Spigot, Paper and Folia. No other plugins needed. **Updating from 1.x?** Your backpacks, backpacks.yml and language files carry over, but permissions were renamed. Read [Updating to 2.0](https://gitlab.com/aj-rom/backpacks/-/wikis/Updating-to-2.0) first. ## For players - **Item based:** right click a backpack to open it. No command needed. - **Up to 900 slots** per backpack, shown a page of 45 slots at a time. - **Sort and deposit buttons** under every backpack: sort merges and orders everything across all pages, deposit moves over every kind of item the backpack already holds. - **Upgrades:** craft a Basic with gold into an Advanced, and an Advanced with diamonds into a Mega. Everything inside stays. - **Wearable:** put a backpack in your chest slot and open it by sneaking and pressing the swap hands key (F). - **Auto pickup:** when your inventory is full, items you walk over go into your backpack. *(Paper and Folia)* - **Recipe menu:** /backpack shows every backpack you may craft and how. The recipes are in the recipe book too. - **Bigger ender chest:** optionally replace the ender chest with one of up to 900 slots, also reachable from an EndPack. - **Your own language:** every player sees messages in their game language. ## For server owners - **Everything per backpack:** name, title, lore, size, recipe, upgrade recipe, whitelist/blacklist (with item tags such as #minecraft:shulker_boxes), open and close sounds, keep on death, glow. - **Custom looks:** player head textures from [MinecraftHeads.com](https://minecraft-heads.com/custom-heads/search?searchword=backpack), or item models and custom model data from your resource pack. The menu buttons can be restyled the same way. - **Database storage:** SQLite out of the box, or MySQL, PostgreSQL or MongoDB. Several servers can share one database; a backpack open on one server can't be opened on another until it is closed. - **Safe saving:** open backpacks are saved every minute. If the database is down, contents are kept on disk and saved once it is back. - **Admin tools:** /backpack view to look into any player's backpacks (also offline), /backpack restore to bring back a lost one, /backpack purge to clear out old ones. - **Permissions** to use and to craft each backpack, and an optional limit on how many backpacks a player may have. - **Formatting:** & colour codes and &#rrggbb everywhere; MiniMessage tags and gradients on Paper and Folia. - **PlaceholderAPI** placeholders and **WorldGuard** flags (backpack-use, backpack-auto-pickup). Both optional. - **14 languages:** English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Turkish, Japanese, Korean, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional). ## Which server can do what - **CraftBukkit and Spigot:** everything except auto pickup and MiniMessage tags. - **Paper and Folia:** everything. All four are tested. Forks should behave like the server they are made from. ## Default backpacks - **Basic** (27 slots): a chest surrounded by leather. - **Advanced** (45 slots): a Basic surrounded by gold ingots. - **Mega** (108 slots, 3 pages): an Advanced surrounded by diamonds. - **EndPack:** an ender chest surrounded by leather. Opens your ender chest. Change them or add your own in backpacks.yml.

Custom textures

Find a head on [MinecraftHeads.com](https://minecraft-heads.com/custom-heads/search?searchword=backpack), copy its "Minecraft URL" and put it under the backpack in backpacks.yml: ```yaml Texture: "http://textures.minecraft.net/texture/" ``` With a resource pack, use `Model: "namespace:path"` or `CustomData: ` instead.

Example backpack

```yaml Miner: Name: "&6Miner's BackPack" Title: "Miner's BackPack" Size: 90 Texture: "http://textures.minecraft.net/texture/" Lore: - " &7Open this with &e" - " &7Slots used: &e%used%&7/&e%size%" Whitelist: [ "#minecraft:coal_ores", "#minecraft:iron_ores", "COBBLESTONE", "RAW_IRON", "COAL" ] AutoPickup: true KeepOnDeath: true Upgrade: From: "Basic" Shape: - "III" - "IBI" - "III" Materials: I: "IRON_INGOT" B: "BACKPACK" ``` Every option is listed at the top of backpacks.yml and in the [wiki](https://gitlab.com/aj-rom/backpacks/-/wikis/BackPack-File).

Storage

Set **Storage.Type** in config.yml to sqlite (default), mysql, postgresql or mongodb. - The PostgreSQL and MongoDB drivers are downloaded by the server from Maven Central on first start. - Backpacks from 1.x kept their contents on the item. They are moved into the database the first time they are opened. - Switching from one kind of storage to another does not move existing contents.

PlaceholderAPI and WorldGuard

- **%backpacksplus_carried%** - backpacks the player carries - **%backpacksplus_limit%** - how many they may have - **%backpacksplus_open%** - name of the backpack they have open - **%backpacksplus_open_size%** - its number of slots WorldGuard: **/rg flag <region> backpack-use deny** stops backpacks from being opened in a region, and **backpack-auto-pickup deny** stops auto pickup there.

## Older Minecraft versions 2.0 is for Minecraft 26.1 and newer. For 1.14 to 1.16, version 1.2.4 is still on [SpigotMC](https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/82612/history); it gets no more updates. ## Support Questions, ideas and bugs: [open an issue on GitLab](https://gitlab.com/aj-rom/backpacks/-/work_items/new?type=Issue). Please don't report bugs in reviews; I can't help you there.
