BackPack Plugin

BackPack Plugin Version 1.3

BackPack Version 1.2

Overview

The Backpack plugin allows players to have personal portable storage in Minecraft that can be opened like a chest but is persistent across server restarts. Each backpack is unique and linked to its owner, with features to prevent nesting backpacks inside each other and control inventory access.

The plugin also provides commands for giving, viewing, and managing backpacks, as well as full configuration support for customization.

Features

1. Backpack Items

Players can receive backpacks via command (/backpack give) or (optionally) through crafting.

Each backpack is linked to a UUID and the player's name.

The item lore shows:

Owner name

Backpack number

Contents count (filled slots / total slots)

Instruction: "Right-click to open"

2. Commands /backpack give [rows] [item]

Gives a backpack to a player.

Optional:

rows: Size of the backpack (e.g., 2x9, 3x9)

item: The type of item to represent the backpack (e.g., CHEST, SHULKER_BOX)

/backpack seeinside

Allows a player to view a specific backpack of another player by its number.

/backpack reload or /bp reload

Reloads the plugin configuration (items, crafting recipes, language settings, etc.) without restarting the server.

3. Crafting

A default backpack recipe exists (configurable).

Can be fully customized in the config: shape, ingredients, and result item.

Crafting can produce real functional backpacks or dummy items depending on the settings.

When a backpack is open:

Players can move all items except the backpack itself.

Other backpacks can be moved but cannot be placed inside the open backpack.

Inventory contents update dynamically in the item's lore.
