Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

THIS MOD IS AN ADDON THAT CHANGES THE BACKPACK RECIPE, NOT A FORK.

Changes the crafting backpack, making it more complex and realistic.

Recipe

Uses 8 new components with multi-step recipes.

EMI example

The mod replaces the simple backpack recipe with a realistic chain of 8 components: Grass Rope (rope made from grass for tying), Wax Resin (wax resin for waterproofing, with an alt. recipe via TFMG creosote), Iron Buckle (buckle made from nuggets), Leather Strap (leather belt with stitching), Leather Strap with Iron Buckle (belt + buckle = adjustable straps), Reinforced Leather Fabric (leather + wool + wax = waterproof fabric for the walls), Backpack Frame (sticks + thread + iron = a rigid frame) and Magnetic Clasp (nuggets + redstone = a magnetic clasp) - all assembled into the final 3x3 craft, where each element stands in its place: fabric on the sides, clasp on top, straps for carrying, frame at the bottom, ropes at the corners, chest in the center as an internal volume.
