Controls
Every key, button and mouse action of the mod. The keys are listed in Options > Controls under the category Adventure Backpack, and you can change all of them there.
| Key (as listed in Controls) | Default | Does |
|---|---|---|
| Open Inventory Key | B | Opens the window of the backpack, copter pack, jetpack, scuba gear or flamethrower pack you wear. Pressing it again closes the window. |
| Toggle Action Key | N | Depends on what you hold and wear. See the table below. |
| Tool Cycle Modifier (none = sneak) | Sneak (Left Shift) | Hold it while turning the mouse wheel to swap tools. |
| Next Backpack Tool | not bound | Swaps to the next tool. |
| Previous Backpack Tool | not bound | Swaps to the previous tool. |
| Crossbow Mode | V | Changes the mode of the Clockwork Crossbow in your hand: repetition, grappling hook, sniper. |
| Backpack Abilities On/Off | not bound | Turns the abilities of the backpack you wear off and on. |
| Boat Motor On/Off | not bound | Turns the outboard motor of the Motorized Inflatable Boat you ride on and off, and with it the forward push of the boat (in the default toggle mode). The motor sounds while it runs. See Gear. |
The defaults come from the config file (see keys in Configuration). They are applied the first time. Once you change a key in the game, Minecraft keeps your choice.
The Backpack Abilities On/Off key is not bound by default: pick a key for it in Options > Controls. Press it and the abilities of the backpack you wear switch off, press it again and they switch on. A chat message tells you which one happened.
- It is yours alone. Other players keep theirs, and the choice is kept when you log out.
- Turning them off takes away effects the backpack gave you, like night vision or fire resistance. The backpack keeps working as a backpack.
- If abilities are turned off in the server config, the key only tells you so.
- The chat message can be turned off with
abilities.toggleMessage.

With a backpack on, the tool in your hand can trade places with the two tool slots of the backpack. Each step rotates the three: the tool in your hand, the one in the upper slot and the one in the lower slot. The tool you hold goes into the backpack and one comes out.
- With the mouse wheel: hold the modifier key (Sneak by default) and turn the wheel. One direction brings the tool of the upper slot, the other the one of the lower slot.
- With keys: press Next Backpack Tool or Previous Backpack Tool. They are not bound by default, so bind them in Options > Controls first.
What counts as a tool: pickaxes, axes, shovels, hoes, shears, fishing rods, flint and steel, and tools from other mods like wrenches, hammers, scoops, grafters, crowbars, mattocks and drills. Swords, bows and buckets do not. With the Skeleton backpack, a bow does count.
A modpack or a server can change this with a list: only the items on it, or every tool except the ones on it. The list applies to the tool slots and to the swap. See Configuration.
With a hose in your hand the same wheel or keys change the hose mode instead: suck, spill, drink. If you hold something else, the wheel scrolls your hotbar as usual.
If the mouse wheel clashes with another mod, change the mode with keys.toolcycle.mode: wheel, keys or both (the default). keys.toolcycle.invertWheel reverses the direction, and keys.toolcycle.enabled turns the whole thing off.
B is also the default key for the Baubles inventory. If you use Baubles, change one of the two in Options > Controls. See Compatibility.
