    So one of my biggest issues on WarZ is not having enough inventory space. One thing missing from WarZ that dayz has is backpacks. The backpack would be an item that would open the backpack when right clicked (similar to power tool). Players can have multiple on them but they would link to the same backpack. I have an idea for 3 kinds of back packs:

    Small Backpack:
    Gives an extra 5 slots to hold items
    Zones 1-2
    Common

    Medium Backpack:
    Gives an extra 9 slots to hold items
    Zones 3-4
    As rare as an msr

    Military Ruck:
    Gives an extra 14 slots to hold items
    Zones 5-6
    As rare as diamond armor

    When a player dies the contents of the backpack will also be dropped on the ground.

    Maybe donors get a small backpack on spawn (vip) and a medium backpack on spawn (MVP)

    I just thought about these while getting ready for bed so I apologize for lack of detail since I am on my phone. Please leave feedback if you like/dislike the idea, if you think the number of slots should be changed, or if you think the rarity should change. Thanks for reading and please reply!

    Great idea. This is a must have for WarZ.

    I like the idea of finding backpacks in zones, what I don't like is how donors can spawn with them on respawn. Just because of the fact that they already have an ECHEST and TPA.

    Coincidentally, I made a plugin that does this exact same thing for @Signatured

    Yeah, Mario already has a working plugin for this. He would just have to make it so that when you right click an item that's retextured as a backpack, it will open it for you. It will need a few tweaks though, Mario, because the one you make me works slightly different. I'll explain more to you later.

    @Mario and @Signatured can you go into further detail on what the plugin is like?

    Pretty much you can type /backpack (originally intended as a donator feature, but this could be different for WarZ), and it will open a 9x1 chest interface with the name "<name>'s Backpack." You can store your items in it, and when you die, you also drop the items in your backpack. Here are some changes that would need to be made to the plugin for it to work with WarZ:

    • Disable /backpack
    • Make it so when you right click the backpack item, it opens the chest interface
    • Make it so that if you throw out the backpack and someone picks it up, it will have the items in it.

    This could be cool like what if you open the backpack and it is a chest, I like this idea.

    That's pretty much what I envisioned! Hopefully it won't be too hard to configure it where you click an item to open it. Maybe when you throw the backpack out it just throws all the items out too.

    Making it open when an item is clicked is the easy part. Making it so that when you throw the backpack out and it still contains the items may be difficult, I'm not sure.

    Having the backpack contain the items when thrown out would not work. When players would pick up the backpack they would see their inventory instead of what was inside. If players got access to multiple backpacks they would have infinite storage. A player can have multiple backpacks but they all store the same thing inside like an enderchest. This way when you throw out the backpack it drops all the items so players can take the items instead of just viewing their own items.

    It wouldn't create infinite storages. It'd create 1 storage per however sized inventory / zone.

    Nice idea! If they are going to make TPA's less OP, or get rid of it completely, a small backpack while spawning would be a good replacement. I would love it if they added this, but having TP's, enderchest, and a backpack on spawn might be OP.

    That can easily be disabled + it wouldn't work like that. :stuck_out_tongue:

    How about it's made so each person can only have one backpack? somehow if that's possible.

    But if a player drops their backpack, when another player picks it up won't they just toggle their backpack?
    That's my idea.

    I do know of this plugin I have it on my server and it has just the hot bar space and it only should just have 9 slots because it would be really op if we had a tent and backpacks I would think it would be less op if when the server restarts maybe the backpack will restart?
    Nice idea bob
