FendragonBCS is a Vintage Story mod by UA_Shaman. FendragonBCS adds craftable backpacks and a construction system for upgrading them, with optional backpack lighting and old-backpack migration.
Why this mod is worth installing
This mod suits players who want expandable backpack equipment instead of treating storage as a fixed item. It is especially useful on servers where backpack upgrades and portable light matter.
What FendragonBCS adds
FendragonBCS introduces backpacks together with a construction-based upgrade system. The idea is to let you improve backpack equipment through additional construction options rather than using a single unchanging storage item.
Backpacks can provide their own light, making them useful during exploration while your hands are occupied. The lighting behavior is intentional: after switching items on the hotbar, the active illumination may come from the backpack instead of a stronger light source held in the other hand.
The mod also includes a migration function for older backpacks, helping existing equipment move to the newer system. Backpack size and lighting-related behavior can be adjusted through the mod configuration.
Notes
The screenshot shows a console message produced when the backpack migration function is activated. It also records planned or completed changes related to backpack lighting and carrying effects.
