Backpacks & Small Containers

As you've probably noticed, the default 5 tool slots in your player inventory don't provide a whole lot of space. How can you carry all of your epic, completely-overpowered weapons with only 5 slots? Well, RPGx has a solution! Included with the mod are various backpack and small container items you can carry with you, increasing your total inventory space.

## Backpacks

There are four different backpack items included with the add-on, which are balanced between weight and inventory size (a certain backpack may be more beneficial in certain situations than others):

* **ALICE Pack** - Weight: 0.4, Size: 17 slots.
* **RollTop Bag** - Weight: 0.2, Size: 12 slots.
* **Rucksack** - Weight: 0.45, Size: 18 slots.
* **Travel Pack** - Weight: 0.3, Size: 14 slots.

You can only carry one backpack at a time in your player tools inventory. Once you pickup a backpack, another window will open in the inventory GUI, which will give you more slots for storing various objects. Each backpack has a unique inventory appearance and size, and each one includes both a "lock slot" for locking the inventory and a "drop slot" for dropping items. A backpack's inventory can be accessed either by "using" the backpack item while in your hands, or via a keybind you can set up for the Personal Inventory GUI.

## Small Containers

Containers work exactly the same way as backpacks, except you can carry multiple containers within a backpack, and only one of each type of container in your player inventory. Only containers you are carrying in your player inventory can be viewed; the inventories of containers within a backpack can be accessed by moving that item into your player tools menu, or by swapping it with a similar item in your tools menu.

Each container is balanced between weight (if encumbrance is enabled) and the amount of inventory space provided. This provides a trade-off and a bit of strategy to how many objects you carry in your player tools inventory. The containers include:

* **Clay Jar** - Weight: 0.8, Size: 7 slots.
* **Clay Vessel** - Weight: 1.2 Size: 8 slots.
* **Sack** - Weight: 0.3, Size: 9 slots.
* **Small Chest** - Weight: 5, Size: 8 slots + 1 lock slot.

**Note:** Make sure to heat unbaked clay jars and clay vessels in a furnace in order to use them.

## Receptacles

A **Trashcan** and **Cistern** are both included, which will automatically delete items for you when they are added to it's inventory. The receptacles can be planted as hybrid items / bricks, and can technically be considered "small containers".

**Note:** Make sure to heat unbaked clay cisterns in a furnace in order to be able to use it.

## Maintaining of Backpack / Container Inventories

Both backpacks and small containers always keep the items within their inventories, even if dropped or stored within another inventory. There is also an option to have players drop their backpack / containers on death (toggled under Server Settings in the Drafting Table GUI), which adds new options for gamemodes and server types.

## Special Features (Planting, Slow-Degrade, Dropping & Locking)

The inventories of backpacks and containers add special features to the inventory GUI. Backpacks allow you to drop items and lock their inventories via unique slots (marked with a designated icon). Backpacks and small containers can also be planted as bricks. If item degradation (over time) is enabled, the clay jar and clay vessel will have items stored within them degrade 8 times slower.

**Note:** When dropped, backpacks and containers will display the owner's name on the item itself, along with the amount of stacked items within the inventory. Also, backpacks and containers can't be stacked - this is to prevent overwriting / loosing their inventories.

**Note:** Backpacks and containers can be planted as hybrid item bricks.
