PackBeasts

Saddlebags for your tamed lox: a saddled lox carries a chest of its own, so it finally earns its keep on a trip.

How to use

1. Tame a lox and put a saddle on it.
2. Look at it, or ride it, and press G: the normal chest window opens with 6×3 slots.
3. Its hover text shows [G] Saddlebags and how many items are inside.

Also on the list: the moose, if it can be tamed in your game (with a taming mod, for example). It gets bags once it's saddled, or as soon as it's tamed if it can't wear a saddle. You can add other creatures in the config.

Safety

• If the animal dies, everything in its bags drops on the ground.
• You can't take the saddle off (Shift + E on the saddle) while the bags hold anything.

How it works

The bags are the game's own chest system attached to the animal. Items are saved with it, multiplayer ownership works like a chest, and two players can't open the same bags at once. Container mods that only use player-built chests (such as AzuAutoStore and AzuCraftyBoxes) leave the bags alone.

Multiplayer

Everyone needs the mod, so that all players see and can use the same bags.

Removing the mod

Items stay saved on the animal but can't be reached until the mod is installed again. Empty the bags first if you plan to remove it.
