Craft an Enderpack 2. Clone it by combining with an Ender Pearl (yields 2 Enderpacks, same UUID) 3. Keep one in your inventory for on-the-go access 4. **Place one as a block at your base for easy access** 5. Give one to a teammate 6. All three access the same 27-slot shared storage - even the placed one! *** ## ⚙️ Configuration The plugin includes a configuration file at `plugins/ExpendableBackpacks/config.yml` for server customization. ### Starter Backpack Feature Give new players a Leather Backpack automatically when they first join your server: ```yaml # Give a Leather Backpack to players when they first join the server # Default: false give-backpack-on-first-join: false # Message sent to players when they receive their starter backpack # Use & for color codes (e.g., &a for green, &6 for gold) # Set to empty string ("") to disable the message starter-backpack-message: "&7Welcome!
