Description

Sophisticated Charging

Sophisticated Charging is an addon for Sophisticated Backpacks that turns a backpack full of batteries into one big power bank for your gear.

The backpack shows its charge

Charging Upgrade

  • Every battery in the backpack, from any mod that uses Forge Energy, joins one shared energy pool. The backpack's own Battery Upgrade joins too.
  • While you carry or wear the backpack, the pool charges your armor and the items in both hands.
  • Cables and chargers see the backpack, held or placed, as one big battery: charge it and every battery inside fills up, pull from a placed backpack and they all drain.

Charging Upgrade

See the charge at a glance

  • On the backpack itself: the battery on the backpack model shows the whole pool, worn, held or placed.
  • In your inventory: a gold bar under the backpack's icon.
  • In the tooltip: how much is left ("Charge: 73%").

Charge at a glance

Advanced Charging Upgrade

  • Ten times faster (10,000 FE/t by default).
  • Toggles to also charge your whole inventory, your Curios slots and tools stored in the backpack.
  • A filter (allow or deny list, by item, mod or tag) for what gets charged.

Advanced Charging Upgrade

Safe by design

  • The energy stays inside the batteries; the upgrade stores none itself. Dropping, placing or breaking a backpack can't duplicate or lose energy.
  • Batteries are recognised by what they do, so tools, armor and devices stored in the backpack are never drained; they get charged instead.
  • Creative/infinite batteries are left out automatically. Other backpacks are never charged or drained (no loops).

For server owners and pack makers

  • Ban items, whole mods or tags as batteries or as charge targets (modid:item, @modid, #tag), set a maximum battery size to keep "OP" batteries out, change charge rates, or switch the advanced options off server-wide.
  • Item tags for datapacks/KubeJS: sophisticatedcharging:banned_batteries, banned_charge_targets, batteries, not_batteries.
  • Players can hide the charge bar in sophisticatedcharging-client.toml (showChargeBar = false).

Crafting

The Advanced Charging Upgrade is made from the Charging Upgrade and keeps its settings. One per backpack.
