Satchels
Satchels lets a player carry up to three items in a single satchel slot, so pickaxes, axes and shovels stop crowding the inventory.
What it does
A satchel is a vanilla-friendly item that holds up to three stacks in one slot. It is useful late in the game, when a player carries several pickaxes, axes and shovels, and early on it can store an enchanted book or an alternate tool alongside minerals gathered while exploring. Players put a satchel in the inventory by right-clicking with the item, and the stored items can be cycled through and taken back out.
Satchels is a Fabric mod that runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric only, for three versions, 1.21.11 – 26.2, and the code is not open source; it is released under All rights reserved. Forge and NeoForge builds are not published, and the author states that other loaders are not ported.

How it compares
Scout (Forked) is a Fabric mod for 1.21.1 under the MIT License, open source and run on client and server. NexusCarry is also Fabric, open source under the MIT License, and covers 1.21.8 – 1.21.11. BetterCosmic is Fabric-only for 1.21.8 – 1.21.11, is not open source, and is client-side only, so servers need nothing from it. Satchels, by contrast, is client and server, not open source and limited to 1.21.11 – 26.2.

What the author says
Satchels are particularly handy in the end game, when a player may have multiple pickaxes, axes and shovels, which clutter the inventory; but also in the early game to store any enchantment book, alternate tool or even, minerals that you looted and gathered. Right click with an item on the satchel in your inventory…
