F-Tech: Equipment
by BillBodkin
With F-Tech: Equipment, a backpack worn as equipment stores up to 1,000 items and takes robotic arm upgrades that place, dig out and pick up items.
What it does
The mod adds a backpack that is worn as equipment and holds 1,000 items in its base form. Storage upgrades in three tiers, labelled +500, +1,000 and +2,000, raise that capacity, and the backpack has 9 upgrade slots so the player decides which upgrades to fit. A key opens the backpack, and a second key opens the replication screen.
Robotic arm upgrades are the core of the mod. A Block Operations upgrade lets the arms place and dig out blocks, which requires a block in the backpack for placing and drills in the drill slots for digging. Drills are enchanted like a pickaxe. Replication copies what the player has around the crosshair within a selection area, and an upgrade increases its maximum range. An Item Pickup upgrade lets the arms collect nearby dropped items, and a toggle controls it.
The mod is part of the F-Tech series and needs Architectury API, Curios API, F-Tech: Core, Fabric API and Trinkets. Files exist for Fabric and Forge, both for 1.20.1, with 1.0.1 as the latest file on each loader. The code is open source under the BSD 3-Clause License. Client and server: the server and every player need the mod.
