EmeraldBag
by Tuga4Life
Players who hold a lot of emeralds for trading or currency progression can carry them in EmeraldBag, a wearable pouch that collects emeralds from the ground.
What it does
EmeraldBag adds a wearable pouch that is equipped through a Curios slot. Once equipped, emerald drops that land nearby are absorbed into the pouch automatically, so manual pickup is not needed. A live HUD counter shows the total number of emeralds stored, and the storage interface can be opened at any time to deposit or withdraw them.
The mod was built for modpacks where emeralds matter for economy and progression systems, and it keeps the inventory free of emerald stacks. It requires Curios API on Forge, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files exist for Forge only, for six game versions 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, with 1.3.0 for 1.20.6 as the latest file. The mod is released under the MIT License but is not open source.
Key features
Wearable emerald pouch
The pouch is worn in a Curios slot and holds emeralds in a compact single-slot storage system.
Automatic emerald collection
Emeralds dropped on the ground near the wearer are absorbed into the pouch without manual pickup.
Live HUD counter
A heads-up display shows the total number of emeralds stored, so the amount is visible at a glance.

A clean interface opens at any time to move emeralds in or out of the pouch.

Use cases
Economy-driven modpacks
Modpacks that use emeralds as currency or trading power can keep their balance visible without emptying the inventory.
Loot-heavy progression
Players who collect emeralds from drops throughout a long run avoid picking each one up by hand.
Who it’s for: Players and server owners running Forge 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 modpacks where emeralds carry economic weight and Curios is already installed.
How it compares
Emerald Pouch is a Fabric, Forge and NeoForge mod for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1, under All rights reserved and not open source, so it covers more loaders and versions than EmeraldBag. Ore Pouch is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 under the MIT License, and Secure Pouch is also a Forge 1.20.1 mod under the MIT License, so both are narrower in version range than EmeraldBag while sharing its client and server environment.

Tired of picking up emeralds one by one? This mod fixes that. Add a wearable emerald pouch that automatically collects all emeralds dropped on the ground and stores them in a single-slot container. No micromanagement, no clutter—just smooth progression.
