any chance to update to 1.20.pre?

This mod does not increase backpack slots on 1.20

Is this compatible with 1.20?

Okay, thank you. :)

Unfortunately, I probably won’t have time to release an update until version 1.20, as I’m really short on free time right now.
But I agree it makes sense to tie backpack capacity to the type of metal used, so I’ll look into adding that.

Just a quick question:
I saw that the backpacks require different materials like tinbronze, Blackbronze, Bismuth, Silver Gold, Meteoric, Iron and Steel nails to craft but the all give you the same size.
Would it be possible to split the backpacks in different tiers, so you can modify the backpack sizze for each metal tier?
This would also give you a sense of progression.
If you could do that for 1.19.8, that would be awesome, because it would be a nice alternative to Fendragons Backpack.

Lovely mod! Really looking forward to the backpacks with lanterns.

Currently, they are identical, differing only in appearance and crafting. In the future, I may change this. In any case, you can adjust the number of slots in the config file.

I've updated the config file; also, don't forget to install the required mods for it to function - links to them are in the mod description.

Please be careful before updating, I've made many changes.
v1.1.0

what's the difference between the hunter and linen backpack? they have the same number of slots?

Yes tested today and also confirmed that changing the config seems to not be working. In order to change the slot sizes I had to go to AppData\Roaming\VintagestoryData\Mods\vichnybackpack_1.0.0.zip\assets\vichnybackpack\itemtypes\bag

Can confirm the config doesn't seem to be working. The leather backpack seems to obey the settings, but other backpacks don't.

Thank you! The config should work, make sure you have done everything correctly! If you created a backpack and then changed its parameters, it won't update immediately.
Take this backpack and place it in the crafting grid, and you will get the updated backpack with your changes!

This is necessary to ensure that players on the server do not lose their items. If this does not help you, please let me know.

It is a wonderful and beautiful mod. Can't wait to see its progress.

Especially with the config file values working. They don't actually do anything unfortunately. So until then I'll be hoping for progress.

Gorgeous looking mod, excited to see to see its development. Eyeing up that lantern backpack big time.

Yeah, I had Golden Combs mod too, it's fixed now. Cheers!

Recipe for linen backpack has been fixed.
Config for slots quantity and background color has been added.
Thanks for feedback😼
v1.0.0

Hello there! I also want to report that players on my server are unable to craft the linen backpack.

We have quite a few mods installed, but things like Toolworks and RPG Item Rarity I can confirm work fine with all the other backpack recipes. The problem is only with the linen backpack. If I where to guess, the compatibility issue might be with From Golden Combs, which adds a waxed linen item and makes changes to the base linen item. I recall there being a similar issue a year or so ago with beeswax between FGC and another mod which I don't recall, perhaps Ancient Tools?

I noticed that the linen backpack recipe did offer waxed linen as a crafting option on my server. I tried with various combinations of materials (all linen types, including the waxed linen) to no avail. That is my best guess.

Troleika
Do you have any other backpack mods installed?
Do any of your mods change or replace the components needed to craft backpacks?
A screenshot would be helpful too.

Sweet I look forward to configs!

I feel almost all the default storage options become obsolete once you obtain the reed backpack which is very easy to do quite early and grants the same amount of storage as the base game leather backpack which would otherwise take a bit of progression to reach completely vanilla. Admittedly the vanilla backpacks have fairly minor differences in capacity so it can be difficult to balance your own backpacks around vanilla without making something obsolete or nerfing a vanilla storage option but if you can add configs I will probably set the storage options on my server as follows:

Reed backpack: 3 slots (yes I know this is how much the baskets give but I intend to make a patch for my server to reduce baskets to 2 slots to give the reed backpack some appeal without it overshadowing the default hunter backpack)
Hunter backpack: 5 slots (i also intend to make a patch to add a new recipe that allows you to "upgrade" the vanilla hunter backpack into your backpack with another pelt and 2 linen)
Linen backpack: 7 slots (i intend to make a patch that makes it so you require your hunter backpack to craft this instead of the reed backpack)
Leather backpack: 8 slots (again a patch to add the default leather backpack as a requirement to upgrade to your modded one. And by having it less than 10 slots it still provides some utility to stuff like the mining bag as it has 10 slots but can only hold rocks and ores)

Obviously these values arent what I am suggesting as your mods default values but are just what I think somewhat fit in the vanilla theme of storage balance and how i plan to set them up in my server

I cannot craft Linen backpack for some reason, got all materials (2x Linen (normal stiches); 2 Flax twine; Reed backpack; Andesite knife), arranged them as shown, yet no results :(

I think I can do that. I'll try to create a config file for the next update.

I'm curious, though. Which backpacks do you feel become obsolete in this case?
How many slots would you suggest for each backpack? Thanks!

Aerra
Hi, thanks for the feedback. This isn't done by the mod, it's actually coded in the game itself. However, it's not exactly as you described. The texture of the first backpack is displayed, but not its shape. If you have 2-4 backpacks of the same shape, it will look like you are wearing just one backpack, with the texture from the first slot displayed over the others. But if all the backpacks are different shapes, they will all be visible. :(

Could we get some configs for this? I think the backpacks look awesome but add too much storage too fast. It feels like this makes any other options obsolete as it provides tons of storage with no downsides

Wonderful mod <3

I'm not sure if this would help, but I noticed that More Backpack Colors has it coded so that only the backpack in your first slot is displayed. Maybe you could take a peak to see how they did it? :o

Thanks! I know about this issue and really want to fix it, but I'm not sure how.
I tried to make the switch from basketpack to linen/hunterpack less obvious.
Does anyone know how to solve this? Any help would be appreciated :D

This is a very cool and handy mod. But just letting you know. It tries to show all of the packs on your character model at the same time. 
So if you have two or more different types equipped, they all stack on your back and look weird to other players and 3rd person.

Already removed, it was an empty item. This was supposed to be the tailor's backpack, but I decided to leave it for future updates. Thanks! 
fixed in v0.0.3

Good mod. I encountered missing texture survival handbook picture of the brownbackpack. Vanilla with only this mod.

Nice!
