Advanced Backpack Construction System REDUX [Now With Lantern Bags!]

About this project
What does Advanced Backpack Construction System REDUX [Now With Lantern Bags!] add?
A redux of the now abandoned ABCS Reborn mod by UA_Shaman. I was more preferential to the ABCS version of the mod before it was shelved to create FendragonBCS so decided to recreate it with some rebalances and enhancements.
Changes:
- No more linen bags
- Reduction of leather bags carrying capacity
- Changed upgrade recipes substantially
- Added Sturdy variants to the bags with increased capacity
- Added new Leather Pouch and Sturdy Leather Pouch crafts for the new upgrade recipes
NOW IN VERSION 2.0!
LANTERN BAGS!
Each bag variant both standard and sturdy now have the option to attach a lantern. The new Lantern Variant bag will produce light at a level slightly less than a normal lantern due to it being slightly obscured by the bag and your own body, but think of the convience!
To create a lantern variant bag simply put your lantern (any kind), some nails and strips, and your backpack, and viola! You have a hands free Lanternized Bag!
The bags lantern will illuminate while equipped, held in your hand, or while placed on the ground just like a normal lantern.

Bag sizing:
Standard Leather
- Mini: 8
- Tall: 10
- Basic: 12
- Super: 16
- Mega: 18
- Ultra: 20
Sturdy Leather
- Mini: 10
- Tall: 12
- Basic: 14
- Super: 18
- Mega: 22
- Ultra: 26
(Bag sizing can be configured with ConfigLib)
I recommend also picking up my Tanning Redux mod as it pairs well with the amount of leatherworking for all of the bags!
Tanning Redux simply changes the volume of liquid needed per hide to make leather so you dont have to juggle the annoying leftovers
