Backpack Keybinds

🎒 Backpack Keybinds

Your backpacks. Your keys. Instant access.

Bind individual Sophisticated Backpacks to keyboard keys or mouse buttons and open exactly the backpack you want, without digging through your inventory.

Access backpacks carried in your inventory or nested inside other carried backpacks. Optional server support adds shared priorities, priority-based item collection, and remote access to placed backpacks.

✨ Client-Side Features

The core features work with Backpack Keybinds installed only on your client. The server and other players do not need this addon for you to use them.

• Individual backpack bindings: assign a keyboard key or mouse button to each backpack.
• Flexible inventory placement: move backpacks between inventory slots without changing their bindings.
• Nested backpack support: open backpacks stored inside your carried backpacks.
• Toggle mode: press once to open and again to close.
• Hold to View: hold your binding to open a backpack and release it to close.
• Optional click-to-open: left-click backpacks in inventory and container screens to open them. Use right-click to move them while this option is enabled.
• Bindings overview: view and manage your backpack bindings in one place.
• Persistent bindings: your setup is remembered between sessions.
• Typing protection: shortcuts stay out of the way while editing signs, writing books, chatting, or using supported text and search fields.
• Configurable behavior: adjust opening behavior, sounds, search depth, and button placement.

🌐 Optional Server Features

Install Backpack Keybinds on both the client and server to enable these additional features.

Singleplayer supports them automatically, using the current world's settings.

• Shared backpack priorities: priorities are saved with the world and follow backpacks between players, inventory slots, and placement. Your keybinds and Hold/Toggle preferences remain personal.
• Priority-based pickup: eligible higher-priority backpacks receive items in matching memorized slots first.
• Priority-based magnets: eligible magnet upgrades follow backpack priorities while respecting filters, range, and upgrade restrictions.
• Remote placed-backpack opening: open a bound backpack placed in a loaded chunk within the configured range.
• Configurable access rules: adjust the opening range from 1–64 blocks, with a default of 20 blocks, and optionally require line of sight.
• Nested menu navigation: open an inner backpack from a placed backpack and return to its parent while retaining the permitted remote range.
• Separate server settings: enable or disable priority pickup, priority magnets, and remote placed opening.

Placed-backpack shortcuts require server support or singleplayer. Enable Open Placed Backpacks in your client settings to use them. Ordinary right-click opening and normal nested click-to-open still work on servers without the addon.

Direct keybind access to an inner backpack whose parent is placed in the world is not currently supported. Open the placed parent first, then open the inner backpack.

🔗 How to Bind a Backpack

1. Open your inventory or a backpack.
2. Click the configuration button, located in the bottom-left by default.
3. Left-click the backpack you want to bind.
4. Press the keyboard key or mouse button you want to assign.
5. Optional: While in configuration mode, right-click a bound backpack to switch between Toggle and Hold to View.

Your backpack keeps its binding when you move it to another inventory slot.

⚙️ Configuration

Use the mod's configuration screen to customize client behavior and view the current world's placed-backpack access rules.

In singleplayer, join your world, then open Edit Client / World Configuration → Server Configuration → Placed Backpack Access to change its range and line-of-sight settings.

In multiplayer, the server owner controls these settings.
