I know this has been requested time and time again, and that it may be difficult to implement, but is there any way to create a backpack? I have already created two assets, a custom armor model that you can wear, and a block that is the back pack which you can place down to open the back pack. I had originally gone with the block idea because I thought that the block would store the items after being broken, but it just simply deleted the items inside. I have made a procedure to where if you are not wearing a chestplate, and have the backpack (placeable) in your inventory, you will wear a backpack. If you already have a chestplate, you will get a slowness effect which encourages you to wear the backpack instead of a chestplate.
I know I somewhat rambled on there for a moment, but is there anyway to achieve the backpack idea? Using a GUI, overlay, key-binding, block inventory, etc. If there's any possible way to achieve this, I would like to know, as I do not want to waste my backpack model. Thank you for your help!
Below I've attached some pictures to help explain what I've done and what I'm trying to accomplish.
You can make item backpacks, but block backpacks are not yet possible.
So are you saying that an item could store items within itself, achieving that backpack goal? The items inside the ‘backpack’ wouldn’t drop out or disappear?
Yes. This was added in the latest update, 2020.3.
How would I go about doing this?
On the item element creator area. It has its own page. (GUI)
