Blackout's Backpacks
by Blackout
Blackout's Backpacks gives players extra carrying capacity through portable storage items, with backpack upgrades and several backpack types for 1.16.5 on Forge.
What it does
Blackout's Backpacks adds several backpacks that a player wears to carry items beyond the normal inventory. Each backpack type has its own storage, and Backpack Upgrade items can be applied to them. The Leather Backpack is crafted with Leather from Rabbit Hide, and the Emerald Backpack has been re-added so it no longer requires Chaos Awakens to be present. Backpacks have 12 slots per row instead of 9, and crafting them has been made easier.
Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Its only listed dependencies are optional: Chaos Awakens and Geckolib. The release for 1.16.5 is the only version offered, and the latest Forge file, 2.1.0, was published on 2024-09-22. The code is not open source and is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Several backpack types
Different backpacks give the player varied storage options, including a leather version and an emerald version.
Backpack upgrades
Upgrade items can be applied to a backpack to change or improve what it holds.
Wider backpack rows
Each backpack row holds 12 slots rather than the usual 9, so more items fit per row.
Fixes and placement changes
The update fixes a bug where a backpack deleted itself when opened from the offhand, and lets players place many blocks and items from a backpack.
