You can lose Golden Bag of Holding from ExU by opening it and then SHIFT clicking on it. It will put "itself into itself" and you lose it.

Sounds like a brilliant troll mechanic for quest-making pack devs everywhere. Shamelessly tricking the player into destroying something valuable....

The equivalent of turning it inside out. :p
Ender Pouch... Always use Ender Pouches :p
The cool thing about Ender Pouches is that even if you do put them inside themselves, you can retrieve them (I know that's your point, but I'd like to remark that it's cool). :D

I tried doing this not long ago in FTB Infinity, and instead of losing itself - it had stuff in it at the time - it caused a client exit, and possibly a crash although I couldn't find one. When I relogged, I found the bag was still in my inventory somewhere.

Therefore, it *may* be possible to stop yourself from losing the Golden Bag of Holding that way.

You might also want to search the Minecraft forums for the utility "NBTEdit" as it can look into your world save data, it's in level.dat and if the Golden Bag of Holding still exists in your world, you might be able to recover it and it's contents. I'm not sure what server admins are capable of, but if you ask politely, perhaps they can look into your save data for your character and retrieve the bag and it's contents for you, if you're playing MP.

Cheers ...

Other bags (satchels are one) are locked (ie, you can't move them in your inventory while they're open) I wonder why the golden bag of holding isn't.

It happen to me twice. First time accidentally (it was filled with junk anyway) and second time purposely (just to see if I'm not imagining it). I don't think I've got it back after world reload. Frankly, I didn't lost anything special so I didn't bother to try recover them.
I've actually wanted to ask whether this could cause some issues. If you do this few time (when its filled) if it could corrupt your world. Like when you try carry 10~30+ AE drives filled with items in pouch/strongbox/backpack it will corrupt your world.
I've used NBTedit few times but purely to fix some issues (like above in this topic, #2646). Didn't know that level.dat stores player data too, until ~2 months ago.

And this works when you place the bag inside itself? I would think that the bag's inventory is stored in the item stack's NBT data, so when the bag is inside itself, nothing will refer to its inventory and it will just disappear.

I forgot to write it in my post above. But yea, one of the reason why I didn't bother to try recover it. My thoughts was: "Well, its not in my inventory so I'll probably won't find it in my player/level data". And since MC saves like every 2~4 seconds (is that correct?) I won't be able to do it quickly enough.

I'm actually a fan of the unintended (?) troll by mod authors occasionally. It keeps me on my toes and makes me realize the only nonrenewable resource is time. It's one of those things that, once it has occurred, you swear will never happen again.

Nah, Tema's a troll on purpose. :D
But yeah, the occasional completely unrealistic and mildly annoying--but hilarious--"feature" is great. :p

I write it off under the same logic as putting a bag of holding into a portable hole in D&D. The result is destructive and generally unadvised, and on the off chance it comes up, its horrible and hilarious at the same time.

The Cromaticraft lexicon shows the casting room with the top of the book as North, it's not based on where you're looking when you place the casting table, North is North.

Tartarus.. I mean at work. Same thing really.
Yep- pretty much every group of "fans"/"followers"/"players" [insert collective noun here] has a small minority of bad eggs. Same flies for this forum/community. The BTW community is no exception, however its also home to some of the most articulate and level headed people in the MC community.

If you're interested in learning about modded MC history- you should dig deep and consider the original posts/sources from the devs involved, rather than relying on echoed opinions and flamewars.

I'm sorry. I didn't realize there used to be a war going on - I've never heard of him before yesterday.

Apology accepted.
It was drama no-one asked for, and brought out the worst in a lot of people. Heck FC's- initial thoughts were along the line of slip out the back door with minimal fuss.
As with any drama; while there isn't an outright ban on discussing it here- please don't bring it up unless its constructive. Just remember its somewhat of a hot spot in the community, and everyone participating needs to show respect even when you strongly disagree with one another.
