Backpacks

A backpack is a bag you carry in your inventory for extra storage. Its contents travel with the item, so you can stash a backpack in a chest, drop it, or pass it on — whatever is inside stays inside.

Crafting one

Craft a basic backpack with 8 leather around a chest:

L L L
L C L
L L L

(L = leather, C = chest.) You can always look it up in your in-game recipe book.

Using it

• Right-click while holding a backpack to open it.
• Add or remove items, then close the screen — the contents stay with the backpack.
• It stacks to one, so each backpack is its own separate bag.

Upgrading for more space

Backpacks start small and can be upgraded at a smithing table, using a chest as the template and a tier material to add space:

Each upgrade keeps whatever is already inside.

Colours

Fancy a different look? Combine a backpack with a dye at a smithing table to recolour it — there are 18 colours to choose from. Recolouring does not change its storage or contents.

Treat a full backpack like any valuable item. It can be lost the same way any item can (lava, the void, a creeper), and its contents go with it — so do not carry your entire fortune in one bag.
