Whether you’re a survivalist, a builder, or an explorer, the Traveler’s Backpack is a must-have tool. Here’s a complete guide on how to use it effectively.
Getting Started with the Traveler’s Backpack
Crafting the Backpack
To craft the Traveler’s Backpack, you’ll need the following materials:
7 Leather: Obtained from cows, horses, or llamas.
1 Sleeping Bag: Crafted using 3 wool (any color).
1 Gold Ingot: Acquired through mining or smelting gold ore.
1 Chest: Made from 8 wooden planks.
Arrange these items in the crafting table to create your first Traveler’s Backpack.
Equipping the Backpack
Once crafted, right-click to place the backpack on the ground. Shift + Right-click to equip it directly. While equipped, the backpack appears on your character model and grants access to its features.
Features and How to Use Them
Extended Storage
The Traveler’s Backpack provides 45 slots, significantly more than the standard inventory. To access the storage:
Right-click the backpack while it’s on the ground.
If equipped, press the default keybind (B by default, customizable in settings).
Organize your items efficiently to carry more resources on your journey.
Fluid Tanks
This mod introduces two 4,000 mB fluid tanks on either side of the backpack. Use these to store liquids like water, lava, or potions.
Filling the Tanks: Right-click the tank with a bucket or fluid container.
Using Stored Fluids: Equip the backpack and interact with the tank to retrieve liquids.
These tanks are invaluable for smelting, brewing, or emergency situations like extinguishing fires.
Built-in Crafting Table
The backpack includes a portable crafting table. Open the backpack’s interface and locate the crafting grid in the center. This feature is perfect for crafting on the go without carrying a separate crafting table.
Sleeping Bag
The backpack doubles as a bed! Deploy the sleeping bag by pressing the designated keybind (Shift + Right-click by default). This allows you to set your spawn point and skip the night without carrying a bed.
Tool Slots
Two dedicated tool slots allow you to store frequently used items like pickaxes or swords. These tools can be accessed quickly without opening your inventory, saving time during combat or mining.
Customizing and Upgrading
Dyeing the Backpack
You can dye the Traveler’s Backpack to match your style. Combine it with any dye in the crafting table to change its color. This is particularly useful for distinguishing between multiple backpacks.
Upgrading
The mod supports various upgrades, such as filters and advanced storage options. Check the mod’s documentation for a full list of upgrades and recipes.
