RPG Backpacks
by yigitguven
RPG Backpacks adds wearable backpacks in six tiers, from Leather to Netherite, that hold more items as the player advances.
What it does
Each backpack tier has its own slot count: the Leather Backpack holds 18 slots in 2 rows, the Iron Backpack 27 slots in 3 rows, the Golden Backpack 36 slots in 4 rows, the Diamond Backpack 45 slots in 5 rows, and the Netherite Backpack 54 slots in 6 rows. The Netherite version is also fire resistant, so it survives lava and flames that would damage a lesser pack.
Backpacks are equipped in the chestplate slot, and when Curios API is installed they can go in the Curios back slot instead. Models are detailed 3D meshes worn on the back, so the pack is visible on the player's character. The mod is published for Forge and NeoForge across 7 release versions, 1.20.1 – 1.21.1, and is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only; the source code, issue tracker and wiki are public, and the mod is open source. Client and server both need it, and Legendary Backpack builds on it.
