❓ FAQ - Eclipse-Studios/backpacks GitHub Wiki

Q: Sometimes the items in the backpack flick!

A: Item flickering is caused by a library that we are using, Sentinel, which is currently essential for this datapack to work as it allows us to detect when we close a container. How hard items flicker can vary, for me it wasn't very much, but for some beta testers was a lot, but it is a visual glitch and it doesn't affect gameplay.

Q: Why the items don't have their texture? And why do I have a chest minecart in the head when I'm holding a Backpack?

A: If you are using the datapack version you also NEED to use the resourcepack, go to "Versions" > Click on the version you are using > Download the resourcepack. If you are instead using the mod version you don't need to use it, but if you are seeing a minecart in your head while holding a backpack then check this to see how to fix it (click on the dropdown menu and go to the last part of it).

Q: I don't seem to find the backpacks in the creative inventory!

A: Sadly, Mojang hasn't added support for datapacks to add items to the creative inventory yet, so to give the items to yourself you can use the custom commands to do so here.

Q: I can't equip the backpack in my chest slot!

A: Due to datapack limitations, you can't currently equip the backpack in your chest slot. In reality you can BUT the current Mojang implementation of the system makes so that the model that's rendered in the chest slot can only be a proper chestplate model, so it doesn't allow for custom 3D models like backpacks, so until they change this it will have to remain this way.

Q: Could you add Trinkets/Accessories support?

A: Similar to the issue below, it is rare for mods add datapack support. These two mods don't directly add support for custom items added by datapacks, but the team is currently studying the possibility to add Accessories support as an optional mod to use in combination as it is the one that has more support for datapacks, more info about this will be added in the future here.

Q: I don't seem to find the backpacks in JEI/REI...!

A: Sadly, similar to the creative inventory problem, those type of mods don't add support for datapacks to add new items to their menus, so that's why this wiki exist, to try to cover every possible piece of information you may need about this project that isn't available in-game and more!

Q: Does this datapack work on older/newer versions?

A: This datapack doesn't work on older versions than 1.20.5, this is because all of the new commands aviable in those versions as well as the new item components format that was implemented in that update. Sadly this datapack won't be backported to older versions.

Q: Can I modify the datapack and redistribute it?

A: Yes you can, but only if you say who the original creator is (Eclipse Studios) and if you link the original Modrinth page somewhere noticeable in the project.

Q: Are you guys going to make more datapacks?

A: Yes we will, this was ment to be a side project of a more bigger and complex one that the team is doing. For more updates on our future datapacks join our discord server!

Q: Is this datapack compatible with other datapacks?

A: Yes, this datapack follows the Smithed conventions to ensure datapack compatibility.
