✦ What is Probably Backpacks? ✦
Probably Backpacks adds a complete tiered backpack system to your Minecraft server. Players craft backpacks from Leather all the way up to Netherite — each tier offering more storage and more upgrade slots.
Backpacks are equipped in the CuriosPaper Back slot and are visible on the player's back as a 3D model! This plugin is a CuriosPaper addon, hooking into the accessory system to provide a seamless experience with custom textures, real-time dyeing, and a powerful upgrade system.
This plugin requires CuriosPaper to function!
🚀 What's New in v2.4

PickupTask): Dedicated background task for the Pickup Upgrade that checks a 1.5-block radius around players to collect nearby item drops directly into active backpack storage (smartly skips duplicate work if MagnetTask is active).Modern Paper & 1.21.4+ Version Parsing: Overhauled
VersionUtilwith regex matching to support Paper build version strings (e.g.,26.2.build.48-alpha) with automatic fallback toBukkit.getVersion().Robust Item & Component Sanitization: Added multi-layered fallback deserialization in
