Minecraft plugin Minepacks

🔌 About Minepacks

Minepacks — is a Minecraft plugin that provides configurable backpack (portable storage) functionality for servers. Minepacks adds persistent, NBT‑preserving backpacks with configurable sizes and storage back‑ends, intended to give players portable inventory without modifying vanilla containers.

🎯 Purpose

Minepacks solves the need for portable player storage on a Minecraft server. It gives server owners an extendable backpack system that:

• provides extra inventory space that persists across sessions
• preserves item NBT and custom data
• supports multiple storage back-ends (file, SQLite, MySQL)

Minepacks is suitable for Bukkit/Spigot/Paper servers and exposes an API for developers to integrate the plugin with other systems.

⚙ Core features

• Configurable backpack sizes controlled by permissions.
• Multiple storage back‑ends: Files, SQLite, MySQL.
• Preserves full item NBT (items stored like in chests are preserved).
• Item filters to block specific items from being stored.
• Auto item-collect option when inventory is full (configurable).
• Multi-language support (language files included).
• Auto-updater and a developer API for integrations.

🧩 Who is this for

Minepacks is aimed at server administrators, operators and plugin developers who need:

• portable player storage on Survival, RPG or Prison servers
• an API to manage backpacks programmatically
• a storage solution with MySQL/SQLite back-end support

🏗 Usage examples

• Give every player a small persistent backpack; use permissions to grant larger sizes to staff or donors.
• Integrate Minepacks API with shops or economy plugins to sell additional slots.
• Use SQLite on small servers and MySQL for larger networks to centralize backpack data.

⌨️ Commands

Note: The upstream repository documents the existence of permissions that control backpack sizes, but exact command nodes and full command list were not available in the official README search results used for this entry.
