The Miner's Backpack is a portable storage item added by Forestry, and behaves just like other Backpacks. It has 15 inventory slots which hold vanilla ores (iron, gold, redstone, etc.), modded ores and fuels (coal, uranium, etc.). When any compatible item is picked up it goes into the Backpack instead of the player's inventory unless locked. Very useful for miners due to the amount of ores that build up throughout mining. Miner's Backpack does not hold blocks such as dirt and cobblestone; they can be picked up with a Digger's Backpack. Can be upgraded into a Woven Miner's Backpack with 45 slots.
Research aspects in this item

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.
