Knapsacks are backpacks on steroids for MineCraft. Injected with a ton of options for both players and server owners, Knapsacks should prove to be a valuable asset to any MineCraft server.
Knapsacks allow players to craft & give themselves and other players additional inventory slots. Knapsacks is packed with options for the player as well as for server owners and operators. Among those are the infamous Auto-Filling. Auto filling allows player to control what items get stored in their Knapsacks and when. Depending on how Knapsacks is configured, players will be able to keep items organized in Knapsacks Auto-Fills. Players have,for the most part, complete control on when items are filled to a Knapsack both before and after their inventory is full!
Another under-rated feature is the Knapsack expiry system. This system was built with the server owners in mind to stop the abuse of Knapsacks (crafting excessive packs, giving, dropping, etc..). Optionally, server owners can set limits on how many of a specific size Knapsack each player can have at any given point as well as an overall setting of all Knapsack sizes a player has.
Knapsacks is exactly what the name states, a Backpack on steroids! Jammed with many, many more options and more still coming
