Inventory Backpack
by jptrzy
Inventory Backpack gives players a portable storage item that opens an extra inventory panel, and it is built for Fabric on 1.18 and 1.18.1.
What it does
Once a backpack is equipped, its contents open from a dedicated access screen, so storage stays reachable without filling the regular inventory. The mod is a Fabric mod, and it runs on client and server, meaning both the server and every player need it installed.
The mod uses Cloth Config for its settings screen and integrates with Mod Menu, so options can be changed from the in-game mods list. Builds cover 1.18 and 1.18.1 only, with 0.2.4-1.18.x as the latest file for 1.18.1, released on 2022-01-30.
The source code and issue tracker are public. The code is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and first publication dates to 2022-01-13.
Key features
Backpack access screen
Opens the stored contents of a backpack in a separate panel, keeping the regular inventory free for other items.
Cloth Config settings
Options are presented through Cloth Config, so settings are changed in a screen rather than by editing files.
Mod Menu integration
The settings screen can be reached from the Mod Menu list, giving one place to find the mod's configuration.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Carrying extra supplies
Players who gather or trade in bulk can keep spare materials in a backpack and reach them through the access screen during a session.
Shared multiplayer setups
Because the mod runs on client and server, server owners who install it can offer the same backpack access to every player who joins.
Who it’s for: Players of Fabric 1.18 or 1.18.1 who want extra storage without changing the regular inventory, and server owners who host those versions.
How it compares

Inventory Backpack covers only 1.18 and 1.18.1 and is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only.
