    If not i'm gonna have to think of a new plan, I made backpacks that give buffs but forgot about how much epps are used.
    Can I give the buffs as cosmetics?

    IIRC, no. It is hard coded that cosmetic items give no effects.

    But you can use the epp as a base to create your backpack ._., epp uses the status effect attribute so you can create a new status or add one existing.

    All that is set in the vanity slot it get deactivate what they stat gives, you can try to combine your backpack stats with the stats of the epp.

    "statusEffects" : [
    {
    Your backpack status effect...
    ...
    ...
    },

    //Add this to your backpack and you will combine your backpack stat with the breath protection epp

    {
    "stat" : "breathProtection",
    "amount" : 1.0
    }


    // Or Add this to your backpack and you will combine your backpack stats with the cold protection epp

    {
    "stat" : "biomecoldImmunity",
    "amount" : 1.0
    },
    {
    "stat" : "biomeradiationImmunity",
    "amount" : 1.0
    },
    {
    "stat" : "breathProtection",
    "amount" : 1.0
    }



    // Or Add this to your backpack and you will combine your backpack stats with the Heath protection epp


    {
    "stat" : "biomeheatImmunity",
    "amount" : 1.0
    },
    {
    "stat" : "biomecoldImmunity",
    "amount" : 1.0
    },
    {
    "stat" : "biomeradiationImmunity",
    "amount" : 1.0
    },
    {
    "stat" : "breathProtection",
    "amount" : 1.0
    }

    ]

    You can even create your own upgradeable epp backpack with the stats that you want.
