Backpack Smithing - Sophisticated Backpacks

by Cwortex

Backpack Smithing adds a progression-based smithing recipe path for Sophisticated Backpacks, so upgraded backpacks are crafted at a smithing table.

FabricForgeNeoForgeServer required, client optionalAll rights reserved1.20.1 – 26.2

What it does

Backpack Smithing changes how Sophisticated Backpacks are obtained and upgraded: instead of only standard crafting, the backpack tiers are reached through smithing table recipes that follow a progression. Players craft and upgrade their backpacks as they advance through the game.

The recipes are shown in JEI, REI and EMI, so players can look up the smithing steps in their usual recipe viewer. The mod has been published since Sophisticated Backpacks gained the smithing table, and it covers the game versions listed below. The server must run Backpack Smithing, while players may leave it out. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and the code is not open source; the mod is released under All rights reserved.

Mod-specific requirements are named in the recipe screens, and the mod does not change the core behaviour of Sophisticated Backpacks itself. Files cover 1.20.1 – 26.2 across Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and the 26.2 NeoForge build is the most recent.

Key features

  1. Smithing recipes

    Backpack tiers are crafted at a smithing table, so the upgrade path is tied to progression.

  2. Recipe viewer support

    Recipes display in JEI, REI and EMI for quick lookup while playing.

  3. Progression-based crafting

    Each step builds on the previous backpack tier, giving a clear order for upgrades.
