3D model of a brown backpack with red buckles and metal framed glass tanks on either side, visible one showing lava.

Adventure Backpacks is a mod that adds its titular item - backpacks - in quantity, along with several early game transportation/travel items. Most backpack variants are purely cosmetic, but a few have special abilities that vary from amusing to indispensably useful. All backpacks offer eight buckets of fluid storage, 48 slots of item storage and two special tool slots.

Piston Boots

Coal Jetpack & Copterpack

Adventure Backpacks

GUI with a 8x6 grid of squares, with two tanks with bucket slots on either side, two green slots for tools and one brown slot for crafting output. Button in lower left corner has Steve wearing a backpack and a green arrow. — Adventure Backpack GUI

Right-click in the air to open a backpack, right-click on the ground to place it. Backpacks placed in-game can be broken with a hand or tool to collect them, and keep their contents. Adventure Backpacks can be worn by opening the interface and clicking the button in the lower left corner showing Steve wearing a backpack and a green arrow. Alternatively, place the backpack on the ground with right-click, hold down SHIFT and hold left-click until broken to equip.

Keybinds & Tool Cycling

While equipped, backpacks can be accessed with a keybind (default B) and the equip button will change to a unequip button with a red arrow. A second keybind for Actions is used when working with Hoses and activating flight for the Coal Jetpack and Copterpack. When a normal backpack is equipped, the Action key toggles tool cycling off/on. Both keybinds can be configured with ESC > Options > Controls > Adventure Backpack. The two green slots on the lower left can only hold tools, and are used for the Tool Cycling feature. When enabled (default N), tools (and only tools) can be placed in the two green slots, and swapped with the currently equipped tool with Sneak+Scroll wheel. At least one tool has to be stored for tool cycling to function, preferably two.

Sleeping Bag & CampFire

A campire next to a brown backpack on grass. A red and white sleeping bag is deployed next to the backpack. — Setting spawn with a CampFire

Hold SHIFT to change the equip/unequip button to the Sleeping Bag icon . This will let the player sleep, if it's night as long as the ground ahead is solid blocks and unoccupied. While placed in-game, the sleeping bag button is automatically available and the sleeping bag can be left deployed. Breaking the backpack automatically returns the sleeping bag.

The CampFire serves as a spawn point when using the Adventure Backpack's sleeping bag. Sleep within an eight block radius of the CampFire to set spawn. Upon death, the player will respawn at the last campfire used, unless it's removed before then. CampFires are single use and cannot be recollected by breaking.

Portable Crafting

3x3 grid of brown squares with a pink Tinker's Construct Hammer and Alumite ingots being used to repair the tool. — Tool repair, on the go!

The lower right 3x3 corner of the backpack inventory is special, and doubles as a crafting grid. Tinker's tools can be repaired by placing them in the center square with the pickaxe icon, and the repair material in any other brown square.

Tanks

Adventure Backpacks can hold up to eight buckets of liquid, in two separate tanks. Fluids can be loaded/unloaded via the bucket icon slots in the upper left and right of the GUI, or with the Hose. While holding the Hose, Shift+Scroll Wheel to cycle between Drink, Suck and Spill modes. Drink has the player consume the fluid, Spill dispenses fluid from the current tank, and Suck collects the fluid into the selected tank. The active tank can be changed with the Action keybind (default N). Drop the Hose into a backpack tank with fluid to void the liquid in that tank.
