Carry your items, build inside a pocket dimension, explore a trial dungeon, or travel to the Nether. Each Backpack has a different use.
¶ Wear Or Place
- To wear a Backpack, hold it, look away from blocks, and use it.
- To place it, use it on the top of a solid block.
¶ Open Or Pick Up
- Use a placed Backpack to open it.
- Sneak and use a placed Backpack to pick it up.
¶ Dimensional Backpack Portals
- Dimensional, Big Dimensional, and Huge Dimensional Backpacks open pocket dimensions.
- Place and open one, then use a Recovery Compass to charge it.
- You only need to charge it once. When the portal is ready, jump inside.
- Jump inside the exit portal to come back.
- Your pocket dimension and everything inside stay saved when you pick up the Backpack.
- These portals do not work in The End.
¶ Instability
- Higher instability makes your pocket dimension more dangerous, with fog, shaking, and monsters.
- Using Ender Pearls, Chorus Fruit, or Eyes of Ender inside raises instability.
- Use Stabilized Ender Pearls or Stabilized Ender Eyes inside to lower instability.
¶ Backpacks
Store items inside, just like a chest. They stay saved when you pick up the Backpack.
