Saturn's Backpacks
Saturn's Backpacks lets players carry extra storage on their character, using a craftable main backpack and a separate Ender Bag, in a Forge mod for 1.20.1.
What it does
Two backpacks are added in a vanilla-friendly way, aimed at players who would otherwise reach for a shulker box to carry items. The backpacks serve as storage for late-game play. Crafting uses leather and chests, so no new resources are needed beyond what a survival world already provides. The mod runs on Forge only, and both the server and every player need it, since the environment is client and server. Files exist for 1.20.1 alone, and the latest file, 0.0.1, was published on 2023-09-24. The code is released under the MIT License, but the project is not open source in the sense of publishing its full development history.
Key features
Main backpack
A main backpack with 18 slots is craftable from leather and chests, giving players portable storage early in a survival run.
Ender Bag
A separate Ender Bag holds 27 slots and is crafted from an Eye of Ender surrounded by leather.
Vanilla-friendly design
The backpacks fit into the existing item set and recipes, so they feel like part of the base game rather than a new storage system.

How it compares
G's Backpacks is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 that both the server and players run, under All rights reserved and not open source. Vanilla Backpack is also Forge for 1.20.1 with the same client and server setup, but it is released under the MIT License and is open source. Jansku's Backpack Mod is Forge for 1.20.1 as well, and it works on either side, so neither needs it installed.
