Sophisticated Backpacks

With Sophisticated Backpacks installed, the mod adds the Drinking Upgrade, and water keeps its grade in the backpack's upgrades. The Drinking Upgrade also fits Sophisticated Storage chests, barrels and shulker boxes.

Supported versions

NeoForge only, and not on Minecraft 26.3, which Sophisticated Backpacks has no build for yet. The Fabric version ignores Sophisticated mods.

Drinking Upgrade

Drinks from the backpack when the thirst bar is low, the way the Feeding Upgrade eats.

• Drinks water bottles, waterskins, water bowls, other drinks that restore thirst, and water from a Tank Upgrade in the same backpack.
• The cleanest water goes first. Salt water is never drunk.
• Other drinks come after water. Potions other than water, milk and ominous bottles are left alone.
• Empty bottles and bowls go back into the backpack.
• The filter slots limit which items it drinks.
• In a placed Sophisticated Storage block, it serves players within three blocks.

The Upgrade Base of Sophisticated Storage works too. The recipe unlocks once an Upgrade Base is picked up.

Advanced Drinking Upgrade

Made from a Drinking Upgrade, a diamond, two gold ingots and three redstone. It has more filter slots and two buttons:

Button	Choices
When to drink	As soon as a little thirsty, once half the drink fits, or only when the whole drink fits
Lowest grade	Dirty, Murky, Clean or Pure. Left click to go up, right click to go down

The basic upgrade drinks once half the drink fits, and only Clean water or better.

Water grades in upgrades

• The Tank Upgrade keeps the grade of the water poured in, and fills bottles, buckets, waterskins and bowls with that grade.
• The Pump Upgrade grades water from the world like a bottle would. Sea water stays salt water.
• Water of different grades does not mix in one tank.
• The Feeding and Alchemy Upgrades restore thirst for what they feed. The Alchemy Upgrade never drinks plain water.
• The Smelting and Smoking Upgrades clean water like a furnace or a smoker.
