A **package** is an item that can store up to 6 stacks worth of items within itself.\
Can be mailed.

## Obtaining

### Packing
Package is created by packing items into a [paper box](@envelope:paper_box).

### Mailing
Packages can be received by mail as a result of a service crafting or from another player.

### Loot
[Lost mail](lost_mail) packages can be found on a [collapsed mail hub](@envelope:collapsed_mail_hub) or dropped from a [charred pigeon](@envelope:charred_pigeon).

## Usage
### Opening
<div style={{ display: "flex", flexWrap: "wrap", width: "100%", alignItems: "flex-start" }}>
    <div style={{ flex: 1, marginTop: "-20px"}}>
        Packages can effectively condense 6 slots of items into single slot, thus they are quite handy as a cheap, single-use backpack.

        <Callout variant="info">When a package is created, items cannot be added or taken out without fully breaking it.</Callout>

        Using the item in hand will open an interface where stored items can be seen and removed from their slots.

        Player can open and close the interface however many times they want, but removing any item will trigger a "break-ready" state,
        which will be indicated in GUI by red color. Closing the interface in this state will destroy the package
        and remove all contained items from it, placing them in player's inventory, or dropping them on the ground if no space is available.

        <Callout>Using the item while sneaking will destroy the package without opening the interface.
        Stored items will be placed in player's inventory or dropped, same as they do when opened through the interface.</Callout>

        Unpacking a package has a 50% chance to return a [paper box](@envelope:paper_box).

        <div style={{ marginTop: "6px"}}>*Package interface*</div>
    </center>

### Placing
<div style={{ display: "flex", flexWrap: "wrap", width: "100%", alignItems: "flex-start" }}>
    <div style={{ flex: 1, marginTop: "-20px"}}>

        When used on the block while sneaking, package will be placed as a block.

        Breaking a placed package will drop intact package item, with items inside.\
        Breaking it while sneaking will destroy the package and drop stored items on the ground.

        ### Automation
        [Dispenser](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Dispenser) can place packages and
        a [piston](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Piston) can destroy it when pushing, dropping the items.

### Sealing
Package can be sealed with a [seal stamp](@envelope:seal_stamp), creating a [sealed package](@envelope:sealed_package).
