ItsJustABackpack
by Dornick
ItsJustABackpack adds a wearable backpack with 27 slots that players craft from leather, iron and a chest.
What it does
The backpack is crafted from one leather, one iron ingot and one chest, and it opens with a key binding. Its 27 slots hold items, and the storage can be extended with shulker boxes, which hold 46,656 items each when filled with the largest stacks. The mod is meant for players who need more inventory room during survival or long trips.
The backpack is published for NeoForge only, under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, which places the work in the public domain and is not open source. Both the server and every player need the mod, since the environment is client and server. Builds exist for 1.21.1, 1.21.4, 1.21.8 and 26.1.2, and the latest file is 1.1.0 for 26.1.2, released on 2026-08-11.
