Orbital's Backpack Mod

by Orbitul

Orbital's Backpack Mod adds backpacks that can be placed in the world, picked up with their contents still inside, and worn in a back slot.

NeoForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.21.1

What it does

Backpacks come in five tiers, named Leather, Gold, Iron, Diamond and Netherite. A backpack can be placed as a block and picked up again with its items intact, and its contents are kept when the block is broken or moved. Wearing a backpack in the back slot requires Curios API, which must be installed alongside the mod.

Upgrades are crafted with a backpack and applied at a smithing table. The magnet upgrade pulls nearby items toward the wearer. The backpack screen offers search, sort, deposit and withdraw buttons for managing stored items.

The mod is open source under the MIT License and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for NeoForge 1.21.1, with 1.0.0 as the latest build, and the mod has been listed since March 2026.

Key features

  1. Five backpack tiers

    Backpacks are sold in Leather, Gold, Iron, Diamond and Netherite, each with a different amount of storage.

  2. Placeable backpacks

    A backpack can be placed in the world as a block and picked up again without losing the items inside.

  3. Magnet upgrade

    Crafting the magnet upgrade into a backpack makes it collect nearby items automatically while worn.

  4. Backpack screen controls

    Search, sort, deposit and withdraw buttons in the backpack screen help manage a full inventory.

  5. Smithing table upgrades

    Backpacks are upgraded at a smithing table, so progression ties into normal item crafting.
