Saddlebag – Wolf Bag, Pet Backpack & Companion Utility
by SamQ
Saddlebag adds a backpack and a mouth slot to tamed wolves, so a player can carry extra items on a companion without a separate chest.
What it does
A wolf that is tamed and owned by the player can open an inventory with Shift and right click. The inventory holds 12 storage slots in a 4x3 grid, a dedicated mouth slot that carries one item visibly, and a separate saddlebag slot. Equipping a Wolf Saddlebag in that slot opens the extra storage space. The saddlebag is crafted and placed like other equipment.
Items carried in the mouth slot give off light, and a torch or soul torch lights a wider area than ordinary luminous items. Holding Shift and aiming at a wolf shows its health as hearts above it. The mod only affects wolves, and the screen is a custom interface rather than the vanilla container view. Installation works on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge with the same file set for each loader.
Saddlebag is published for 1.21 – 26.2 across 16 release versions, with 1.0.0 for 26.2 as the latest build on each loader. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files are released under All rights reserved, and the code is not open source.
