Sophisticated Backpacks adds multiple types of backpacks with extensive customization options. These backpacks can be worn in a curio slot or as a chest plate, dyed in different colors, and upgraded to enhance their functionality.
Getting Started[]
- Crafting: The starter backpack is crafted using leather, a chest, and some string. It offers ample storage space (at least a chest worth) and upgrade slots for further enhancements.
- Color Customization: Use dyes to change the color of your backpack. Dying the left slot changes the main color, the right slot changes the outline, and the middle slot changes both. Multiple dyes can be combined similarly to how leather armor is dyed in vanilla Minecraft.
