To craft bigger backpacks, players can do so using iron, gold, diamond, and even netherite. These backpacks can also be dyed with different colors by combining them with different dyes on the crafting table.

When players open the backpack, they will see different options and settings to further configure the new feature.

Sophisticated Backpacks is extremely detailed with loads of tweakable backpack settings. Furthermore, the mod offers different upgrades that players can apply to backpacks.
