Troubleshooting

This page covers common SmartPack setup and player support issues.

/pack Says Nothing Can Be Packed

Check:

• The player has materials listed under pack:.
• The material is not excluded in /pack exclude.
• The recipe was not disabled by reversible validation.
• The player satisfies the crafting-table requirement for that recipe.
• The configured input and output material names are valid.

Chest Says Nothing Can Be Packed

If chest packing reports that the chest has no valid materials, check:

• The chest contains materials listed under pack:.
• The material is not excluded for that player.
• The recipe was not disabled by reversible validation.
• The configured input and output material names are valid.

Chest packing uses message.error.chest_nothing_to_pack so players can tell the chest inventory was checked.

Player Lacks Permission

Permissions:

Action	Required Permission
Use /pack	smartpack.use
Use /pack chest or Smart Packer chest packing	smartpack.use and smartpack.chest
Use /pack auto in command mode	smartpack.use and smartpack.auto
Bypass Smart Packer item cooldowns	smartpack.cooldown.bypass
Reload config	smartpack.reload

smartpack.use defaults to true, but permission plugins can override it.

Crafting Table Required Message Appears

Check:

requirements:
  crafting_table_mode: NEARBY_ONLY
  crafting_table_range: 5

Depending on the mode, the player may need a crafting table in inventory, a placed crafting table nearby, or either one.

If only small recipes are expected to run without a table, check:

requirements:
  bypass_crafting_table_for_small_recipes: true
  small_recipe_bypass_max_ratio_in: 4

Inventory Full Warning Appears

SmartPack leaves blocked conversions unchanged when output would not fit.

Ask the player to free the number of slots shown in the summary, or adjust:

inventory_full:
  include_nearby_pickups: true
  pickup_radius: 2.0

Nearby pickup estimates can make slot requirements look larger when loose items are already close to the player.

Auto-Pack Does Not Run

Check all of these:

• auto_pack.enabled is true.
• The player has smartpack.use.
• The player has smartpack.auto.
• The player has enabled their preference with /pack auto in command mode, or by shift-right-clicking the Smart Packer item in item mode.
• The relevant trigger is enabled under auto_pack.triggers.*.
• The player is not still inside auto_pack.cooldown_ticks.
• Smart Packer cooldown mode is not enabled.

For Smart Packer item mode, also check:

auto_pack:
  smart_packer_item:
    require_item: true

If require_item is true, the player must carry a Smart Packer.

Smart Packer Cooldown Never Shows Auto Mode

This is expected when cooldown mode is enabled:

activation:
  smart_packer_item:
    cooldown:
      enabled: true

Cooldown mode disables auto-pack and replaces the Smart Packer auto-mode tooltip lines with a live cooldown timer.

/pack chest Does Not Find A Chest

Check:

• activation.mode is COMMAND.
• chest_pack.enabled is true.
• chest_pack.command is true.
• The player has smartpack.chest.
• The player is looking directly at a chest or trapped chest within block interaction range.

In SMART_PACKER_ITEM mode, chest packing is done by opening a chest and right-clicking the Smart Packer item instead of running /pack chest.

Smart Packer Recipe Does Not Exist

The Smart Packer recipe is registered only when:

activation:
  mode: SMART_PACKER_ITEM

After changing activation mode, run /pack reload.

Also check that every recipe shape key has a valid material:

activation:
  smart_packer_item:
    recipe:
      shape:
        - "IRI"
        - "RCR"
        - "IRI"
      ingredients:
        I: IRON_INGOT
        R: REDSTONE
        C: CRAFTING_TABLE

/pack Is Blocked In Smart Packer Item Mode

This is expected when:

activation:
  smart_packer_item:
    allow_command_with_item: false

Set it to true if players should be able to use /pack while carrying a Smart Packer.

Config Changes Did Not Apply

Run:

/pack reload

Watch the server console for SmartPack config warnings after reload.

Console Warns About Non-Reversible Recipes

SmartPack could not confirm that a configured pack recipe can be crafted back using the server's loaded recipes.

Options:

• Leave the warning enabled and allow the recipe.
• Add or fix the reverse recipe through server recipes or datapacks.
• Set validation.disable_non_reversible_recipes: true to block those inputs.
• Remove the recipe from pack:.
