Saddlebags for every mount: a saddled lox, asksvin or modded horse carries a 4×2 chest you open with G while looking at it or riding it. Its bags spill on the ground if it dies.PackBeasts
Saddlebags for every mount: a saddled lox, asksvin or modded horse carries a chest of its own, so it finally earns its keep on a trip.
How to use
- Tame an animal you can ride (a lox, an asksvin or a mount from another mod) and put a saddle on it.
- Look at it, or ride it, and press
G: the normal chest window opens with 4×2 slots. - Its hover text shows
[G] Saddlebagsand how many items are inside.
Every creature that can wear a saddle is included, including ones added by other mods. The moose is on the list too, 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+Eon the saddle) while the bags hold anything.

| Creatures | Rideable,Moose | Creature prefab names that get bags. Rideable means every creature that can wear a saddle (restart to apply) |

| Open key | G | Opens the bags of the animal you're looking at or riding |
| Columns / Rows | 4 / 2 | Bag size (restart to apply). If you make the bags smaller, a bag with items in the removed slots keeps those slots until they're emptied |
| Name | Saddlebags | Title of the bag window |
| Window close distance | 10 | The window closes when the animal is further away than this (m) |
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.
