Forestry:diggerBag
Type Portable Storage
Stackable No

The Digger's Backpack is a portable storage item added by Forestry, and behaves just like other Backpacks. It has 15 inventory slots which hold most common basic Vanilla blocks, but not ores, nor blocks that have to be smelted or crafted, such as stone or stone brick. Can be upgraded into a Woven Digger's Backpack.

Does not work with most blocks added by other worldgen mods, such as Marble or Red Rock Cobblestone, unless manually configured.

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.
