🔧Automation and Integration

Smart Backpacks is designed to work well with standard Minecraft and modded automation systems.

It works with:

  • Standard inventories such as chests and barrels
  • Mods that use standard item transport systems
  • Mods that use standard fluid handling
  • Mods that use FE-compatible energy systems
  • JEI for recipe viewing
  • Curios for optional wearable slot support

Because many upgrades use standard inventory, fluid, and energy systems, the mod is broadly compatible with many automation and storage mods.

📝Examples of What You Can Do

  • Automatically pick up items directly into your backpack
    • Pull nearby drops with a magnet
    • Auto-feed yourself from stored food
    • Auto-swap tools from the backpack

    • Store FE power in your backpack
    • Convert XP into liquid XP and retrieve it later
    • Move items into nearby chests and barrels
    • Use portable crafting, smithing, brewing, enchanting, and more
    • Wear a backpack that stays with you after death

❓Important Notes

    • Some upgrades require other upgrades to function fully
      Example: XP Transfer Upgrade requires Fluid Storage Upgrade
    • Advanced storage upgrades allow very high stack capacities per slot
