Focal's Backpack
by Focal_Salt
Focal's Backpack gives players a portable storage item that they can carry, open and inspect, with its contents shown in the item description.
What it does
The mod adds a backpack that players craft once an Advanced Crafting Table is available. Right-clicking with the backpack in the main hand toggles between the backpack inventory and the player's own inventory, so items can be moved without dropping the bag. The item's description shows how much space remains in it.
Focal's Resourcepack is required and must be installed alongside the mod. The server must run the mod, while players may add it to see the backpack textures and tooltips, so the server needs it and clients may leave it out. Builds target 1.20.5 – 1.21 and are released under the MIT License, not as open source. The latest file, 1.2.0+mod for 1.21, is available for Fabric, Forge and Quilt, and a data pack version is also offered.
