✨ NEW & UPDATED FEATURES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

📦 Courier Upgrade

Added the new Courier Upgrade.

The Courier Upgrade makes transporting items between linked storage locations
much easier by automatically moving configured items from one location to another.

🎡 Quick Access Wheel Upgrade

Added the new Quick Access Wheel Upgrade.

Press the configurable Quick Access key (default: G) to open a radial shortcut
menu.

You can configure up to 8 favorite items or tools from your backpack and select
them directly from the wheel without first opening the full backpack GUI.

🖥️ Storage Network System

Added an entirely new Smart Backpacks storage network system.

New additions:

• Storage Controller
• Storage Cable
• Portable Storage Monitor

Create your own large storage room using Smart Backpacks!

Place backpacks around your storage room and connect them to a Storage Controller
using Storage Cables.

The Storage Controller gives you one central interface for accessing the contents
of all connected backpacks.

Items remain physically stored inside the individual backpacks while the
Controller provides one combined storage view.

Storage Cables form the physical connection between backpacks and the Controller.

The portable Storage Monitor can be linked to a Storage Controller and used to
access your storage remotely.

Cross-dimensional Storage Monitor access is also supported when the target
storage network is available.

👾 Mob Backpacks

Hostile mobs can now rarely spawn carrying Smart Backpacks!

Supported mobs include:

• Creeper
• Drowned
• Husk
• Piglin
• Pillager
• Skeleton
• Stray
• Vindicator
• Witch
• Zombie
• Zombified Piglin

Backpacks carried by mobs contain randomized, balanced loot.

The backpack color is also matched to the mob carrying it.

Examples:

• Creepers use green/lime backpacks
• Zombies use dark green backpacks
• Skeletons use light gray backpacks
• Drowned use cyan backpacks
• Pillagers use gray backpacks

Kill the mob and its backpack can drop with the generated loot still inside.

Mob Backpacks are intentionally rare and are designed to provide a fun bonus
while exploring without becoming an overpowered source of backpacks or loot.

🎨 Full Backpack Dye Support

All Smart Backpacks can now be dyed using all 16 vanilla Minecraft dye colors.

The dye system works across backpack tiers and colored backpacks retain their
color when:

• carried
• worn
• placed
• picked up
• upgraded
• stored

This also makes it much easier to organize storage rooms by color.

⚙️ Built-in Config Rework

The built-in Smart Backpacks configuration screen has been completely reworked.

The old configuration interface has been replaced with a much cleaner and more
modern control center for Smart Backpacks.

Improvements include:

• Completely redesigned interface
• Better category organization
• Easier navigation
• Searchable settings
• Cleaner upgrade configuration
• Support for newer Smart Backpacks features
• Storage Network settings
• Mob Backpack settings
• Improved setting descriptions
• Improved readability
• Easier access to advanced configuration options
• Better overall usability

The built-in configuration screen is intended to make it possible to manage
practically every safe, user-facing configurable part of Smart Backpacks without
manually editing the configuration file.

🧩 Trinkets Support

Added Trinkets support for Fabric.

Backpacks can now integrate with the Trinkets equipment system on supported
Fabric installations.

🎁 Bonus Chest Support

The Minecraft starter Bonus Chest now contains a guaranteed Leather Backpack.

This gives players a small Smart Backpacks starter option when Bonus Chests are
enabled for a world.

🏆 New Advancements

Added unique advancements for every backpack tier and upgrade.

Progressing through Smart Backpacks now comes with many more advancement goals
to discover and complete.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📜 LICENSE UPDATE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Smart Backpacks now uses a new custom license.

✨ Addon development is now officially allowed.

Mod developers may create:

• Compatibility mods
• Integrations
• Plugins
• Extensions
• Addons

Developers may use publicly available Smart Backpacks classes, events, tags,
capabilities, data components, and other provided integration points when
creating independent addons.

Addons may be open-source or closed-source.

Smart Backpacks must remain credited to SmartStreamLabs.

Reuploading, redistributing, mirroring, or bundling the Smart Backpacks JAR is
still not allowed without permission.

Copying substantial portions of Smart Backpacks source code or reusing original
textures, models, icons, sounds, branding, or other assets still requires
permission.

This license change is intended to make it easier for developers to build addons
and integrations for Smart Backpacks while keeping the original project and its
assets protected.

🎒 THANK YOU
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

This update significantly expands what can be done with backpacks while also
improving stability, performance, customization, storage management, and
compatibility.

Have fun building your new storage rooms!

🔧Automation and Integration

Smart Backpacks is designed to work well with standard Minecraft and modded automation systems.

It works with:
- Standard inventories such as chests and barrels
- Mods that use standard item transport systems
- Mods that use standard fluid handling
- Mods that use FE-compatible energy systems
- JEI for recipe viewing
- Curios for optional wearable slot support

Because many upgrades use standard inventory, fluid, and energy systems, the mod is broadly compatible with many automation and storage mods.

📝Examples of What You Can Do

• Automatically pick up items directly into your backpack
  - Pull nearby drops with a magnet
  - Auto-feed yourself from stored food
  - Auto-swap tools from the backpack
  - Store fluids like water, lava, and modded liquids
  - Store FE power in your backpack
  - Convert XP into liquid XP and retrieve it later
  - Move items into nearby chests and barrels
  - Use portable crafting, smithing, brewing, enchanting, and more
  - Wear a backpack that stays with you after death
  - Keep a placed backpack chunk-loaded
  - Use nested backpacks for advanced organization

💚Compatibility

• Optional Curios support
  - JEI support
  - Works with standard container, fluid, and FE systems
  - Designed for broad compatibility with automation and utility mods

❓Important Notes

• Some upgrades only work when the backpack is placed in the world
  - Some upgrades require other upgrades to function fully
    Example: XP Transfer Upgrade requires Fluid Storage Upgrade
  - Advanced storage upgrades allow very high stack capacities per slot

❕Why Smart Backpacks?

Smart Backpacks is meant to be more than just extra inventory space. It is a progression-based storage and automation mod that lets you build a backpack around your own playstyle, whether you want simple portable storage, heavy automation, machine support, remote access, or endgame utility.
