Usage

As storage

Use the basket in hand to open its inventory and move items in and out on the spot. Baskets themselves do not stack.

Wearing it

Put it in the chest armor slot to carry it on your back and open it without taking it off. The opening is listed in the satoyama section of Controls as Open Portable Storage — it starts unbound, so assign whichever key you like. In the inventory screen the same key opens the basket under the cursor (nothing happens with nothing there). Taking the basket off closes the screen at once.

Peeking inside

Point at it on any screen: the contents appear inside the tooltip without opening anything. They sit where the storage screen puts them, and the empty cells of the whole capacity show as well, so two baskets holding the same things still look different when their capacities differ. An empty one says so in a word. It is a look only — nothing moves in or out from there.

Behavior

Handling notes

Storage that could hold a basket — baskets, pockets, shulker boxes, bundles — will not go inside (the other direction is fine: a basket stows in a shulker box or ender chest). It cannot be placed as a block and does not connect to hoppers. Dropped, it is an ordinary item — explosions and lava destroy it.

In the real world

A carrying basket: a woven bamboo cylinder finished with a thick wrapped rim and two shoulder straps, used in field and mountain work to bring harvests and cut grass home on the back.

Differences in game

Real baskets differ by region in weave (ajiro, mutsume, gozame) and in how the rim is finished, and their straps are made of a different material. Satoyama settles on one open weave and on bamboo straps.
