Stackable No

The Apiarist's Backpack is a portable storage item and combines the functionality of an Apiarist's Chest and a Forestry's existing Backpacks. Like the chest, it will store up to 125 stacks of bees split into 5 pages. It has the same built-in genome display and breeding tracker as the chest. Hovering over any bee in the backpack's inventory will display more detailed information about the species and breeding progress. It cannot be upgraded.

Controls

To open the Backpack, place it on the hotbar and right-click while selected. Cycle through the modes by crouching, and then right-clicking with the Backpack selected in the hotbar. In any mode but Receiving, Shift-right clicking on a chest will dump all items out of the pack, space permitting.

Forestry Backpacks have four different modes:

  • Default - Automatically takes any compatible items that enter the player's inventory until full. (no added icon)
  • Locked - Doesn't take in anything automatically, but can still be opened and manually filled/emptied. (lock icon)
  • Receiving - Shift-Right clicking on an inventory will take all compatible items until full. (green up arrow icon)
  • Resupply - Refills any stacks of its items on the player's hotbar. (yellow down arrow icon)

Config

Additional items can be added to most Backpacks default lists by editing /minecraft/config/forestry/backpacks.cfg, or the supporting mod's config file for ones added by different mod. The Lepidopterist and Apiarist backpacks cannot be edited, while Adventurer is useless until edited.

The command /mt hand (MineTweaker) or /ct hand (CraftTweaker) will output the item ID of a held item to the chat window in-game if installed, otherwise F3+H will turn on advanced tooltips. Backpack configs also accept oredict entries and wildcards. Config files must be in sync between the client and the server in SMP.
