🗒️ Description

SmartBackpacks is the smartest and cleanest way to offer customizable backpacks on your Minecraft server. Forget about overcomplicated setups, bloated plugins, or confusing menus. With SmartBackpacks, you give your players a sleek, visual, and fully adaptable storage system tailored to your community.

Have ranks like VIP or Admin? Assign them unique backpacks with specific permissions. Want to display backpack titles with gradients, bold colors, or stylized names? You can – directly from the config.yml. Need to update something? Just run /backpack reload – no restarts required.

SmartBackpacks is designed to be intuitive for both players and server admins:

Commands are clean and autocomplete-enabled

Players only see the backpacks they have permission to open

Admins can create, remove, or list backpacks in-game with ease

Custom sounds and messages create a polished, immersive experience

With SmartBackpacks, you're not just giving players storage – you're giving them a feature-rich tool that feels built into the game, fully integrated with your server's identity.
