Filtered Backpacks

This mod adds new backpacks with higher capacity but restricted usage just like base game mining bag.
Restrictions are fully configurable on the server side, including which storage flag is used for a given category.

Features

  • Agriculture bag: Stores all crops and fruits, mushrooms, flax fibers, crop seeds, berry bushes, fruit free cuttings, dry grass, cattails, thatch, hoe, and scythe.
  • Forestry bag: Stores logs, firewood, sticks, tree seeds, axe, saw, and shears.
  • Mining bag: A replacement for base game mining bag which is removed from the game.
  • Simple and sturdy variants: 12/18 inventory capacity; crafting difficulty is on a similar level like the base game.

Fixed

  • FilteredBackpacks didn't load assets on non-Windows systems because of the release zip file structure.
  • Papyrus couldn't be put into the agriculture backpack by default.
  • One of base game mining bag recipes wasn't disabled and showed an error.

Ailailou Yes, I updated the description to explicitly mention this.

Hmm are mushrooms considered crops, so they'd go in the Agriculture Bag?

SalazarWindriver Recipes aren't configurable at the moment, sorry.

SalazarWindriver, Feb 15th at 1:06 PM

Is there a way to revert the mining bag back to its original recipe? That extra 16 nuggets/quartz is a bit much

WalmartAdine I may do that next time I edit the mod. For now you can add it to the config yourself.

HariSeldon I don't know, sorry.

Hello, as far as you know, is this mod compatible with "Visible Bags"? Thank you very much.

WalmartAdine, Feb 1st at 1:37 PM

Hey loving the mod it would be REALLY cool if you could add support beams to the mining bag since us insane people play with cave collapses on and support beams are a important mining tool we bring

Asmodus Hello, I can't reproduce this, it works fine on my local server in rc6. Can you share your server log file?

Asmodus, Aug 20th 2025 at 3:29 AM

I know it's premature since 1.21 isn't fully out but in 1.21rc6 this works in single player but not in a server for some reason. No errors on loading but the recipes and items don't exist.

Hello, today I noticed that papyrus does not qualify as a plant, but cattail does😉

Have you thought about adding a perserving backpack maybe? Perhaps it needs salt or is smaller than a normal backpack
