🔧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 fluids like water, lava, and modded liquids
- 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
- Keep a placed backpack chunk-loaded
- Use nested backpacks for advanced organization
💚Compatibility
- Optional Curios support
- JEI support
- Works with standard container, fluid, and FE systems
- Designed for broad compatibility with automation and utility mods
❓Important Notes
- Some upgrades only work when the backpack is placed in the world
- 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
- Some upgrades require other upgrades to function fully
