Mob backpack drops
Zombies and skeletons have a small chance to drop a backpack when killed:
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Drop chance | 0.2% per kill |
| Mob types | Zombie, Skeleton |
| Possible tiers | Leather, Copper, Iron |
| Gold tier drops | Disabled |
| Dyed variants | Can drop when enabled tiers drop |
Mobs may show a visible 3D backpack model before you defeat them.
Backpack blacklist
These cannot be placed inside backpack storage:
| Category | Blocked |
|---|---|
| Shulker boxes | All 17 colors |
| Bundles | Plain bundle + all dyed bundle colors |

Nested backpacks are also blocked by the plugin (you cannot put a backpack inside another backpack).
This prevents nested portable storage exploits. Full audit: repo docs/backpack-security-audit.md.
