Storage Backpack
Pack it, carry it, unpack it
ServerOptional for players
A craftable Storage Backpack that you set down and fill like a 48-slot chest. Break it up close and it goes back into your inventory as a Storage Backpack (Packed). Place that one again and everything is back inside.
The server keeps the contents, so nothing is lost or duplicated.
What it does
Packing up
Break it with a melee tool or your fists. It goes back into your inventory as a Storage Backpack (Packed) if it had things in it, or a plain one if it was empty. The server holds what was inside. A private chat message says what was packed and unpacked.
Unpacking
Place the Packed backpack and your stored contents come back, newest first if you packed more than one. Quality, durability, mods, dyes, and ammo counts are all kept.
Broken by something else
A zombie, an explosion, or a gun that doesn't harvest drops it as a Storage Backpack (Packed) with the contents inside. Whoever places that one gets them. It lasts 24 hours on the ground.
No backpacks in backpacks
A packed backpack can't go inside another one. If one is inside when you break a backpack, it drops next to it, still packed. Empty backpacks are plain items and can go inside.
Packed backpacks
They don't stack, can't be sold to traders, and can't be scrapped. Contents that went back to your inventory are yours: a friend who places your Packed backpack gets an empty one. A Packed backpack dropped on the ground belongs to whoever places it.
Dupe-safe
Each pack is saved on the server under an id, and an id can unpack only once, so copying an item can't copy its contents. Unpacked records are deleted after 7 days.
Commands
Server: console
sbp- List stored backpacks, newest first. active is still packed, used was unpacked in the last 7 days.Admin
sbp give <player> <id>- Drop a packed backpack with that id at an online player. Brings back a lost one; a used id is made active again. The id is in the server log.Admin
What's new
Follow updates (RSS)v1.0.4Current
- a backpack with things in it comes back as a Storage Backpack (Packed), not the plain one. So it no longer stacks with empty backpacks, drops out when it's inside another backpack you pack, and can't be scrapped. A placed backpack turns into the Packed block when you close it with things inside.
Older versions (v1.0.3, v1.0.2, v1.0.1, v1.0.0)
v1.0.3Download v1.0.3
- breaking a backpack with a melee tool puts it back in your inventory (the game does that itself); the server keeps the contents for you and refills the next Storage Backpack you place. Chat messages say what was packed and unpacked.
v1.0.2
- packed backpacks inside a backpack drop out next to it when it's packed instead of nesting (nesting gave unlimited storage in one slot).
v1.0.1
- breaking a backpack no longer also puts a plain backpack in your inventory (the game does that for blocks without a Destroy drop, which duplicated empty backpacks). Drone Automation Auto-Loot drones no longer pick up backpacks.
v1.0.0
- first version.
Good to know
- Install on the server. Players can join without it and leave EasyAntiCheat on: the server sends the new blocks, recipe, and text when they join. Players can install it too.
- Change the size in Config/loot.xml, the recipe in Config/recipes.xml, and the HP in Config/blocks.xml. Don't shrink the size on a running server: placed backpacks drop whatever no longer fits.
Works with
- Drone Loot FilterAuto-Loot drones already leave both backpack items alone, on the ground and in containers. No need to add them to /dai.
