Backpack Keybinds
Backpack Keybinds lets players bind a key or mouse button to each Sophisticated Backpack, so one press opens that exact backpack.
What it does
Each bound backpack opens instantly from a key or mouse button of its own, without searching through the inventory for it. A backpack can also be reached when it sits inside another backpack, or when it is placed in the world and the player stands within range. Bindings are managed from one overview screen, where they can be checked, changed and removed.
The mod needs Sophisticated Backpacks and Sophisticated Core, both of which must be present on NeoForge 1.21.1. It runs on the client alone, so servers do not need it. Players keep their backpacks in specific slots, because a binding is tied to the backpack's position rather than to the item itself. Backpack Keybinds is not open source and is released under the MIT License.
Key features
Individual backpack bindings
Each Sophisticated Backpack can receive its own keyboard key or mouse button, so the player opens exactly the one wanted.
Nested and placed backpacks
Backpacks stored inside other backpacks, and backpacks placed in the world within range, can be opened through their bindings.
Toggle and hold modes
A binding can open on one press and close on the next, or stay open only while the key is held and close on release.
Bindings overview
A single menu lists every backpack binding, so they can be checked and managed in one place.
