Literally Just Backpacks
by Endy678
Literally Just Backpacks gives players a simple, craftable backpack made from leather and string in a chest-style recipe.
What it does
The backpack is built from a leather and string recipe and works as a chest-style storage item for carrying extra inventory. The author wrote it mainly for personal use and chose to publish it for others. It is a NeoForge mod that needs both the server and every player to run it, and its release files cover 1.21.1 and 1.21.8, with 1.0.0 for 1.21.8 as the latest file, under the MIT License, not open source.
Key features
Simple backpack
Adds one plain backpack instead of a set of layered storage options with many settings.
Leather and string recipe
The backpack is crafted from leather and string, so it needs no advanced materials.
No extra dependencies
The author notes that the mod avoids the extra libraries many backpack mods depend on.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
How it compares
Goulden's Vanilla Backpack is a NeoForge option for 1.21.1 that is open source under the MIT License and runs on client and server. Fair Sophisticated Backpacks is also NeoForge for 1.21.1, but it is server-side only and released under All rights reserved, so players can join without installing it.

What the author says
I don't really like mods that add complicated backpacks, so I made this one that adds a super simple backpack, made with leather, string, and a chest. I made this one mainly just for my personal use, but why not publish it so others can use it too? Unlike other mods I have made, this one does not have any dependencies.
