Scout (Forked)
by themarneilx
Scout, in its forked build for 1.21.1, gives equip bags and pouches extra inventory slots through the Trinkets system.
What it does
Scout expands carrying capacity in a more physical way than free extra inventory space. Bags worn in equipment slots hold additional stacks, and pouches store items directly inside the item itself, so capacity has to be carried rather than appearing for nothing. Players who run long trips for exploring, mining or building can use it to keep more materials on hand while the feel of the game stays close to vanilla.
This is a fork of the original Scout mod, kept alive so it remains usable on newer Minecraft versions and loaders. Full credit for the concept and the original implementation goes to the original author, while the fork maintains and updates the mod for later versions. Scout requires Fabric API and Trinkets on Fabric Loader, and the mod runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is released under the MIT License and is open source, with the source code public. Files are published for 1.21.1 only, and the latest is 2.0.5+1.21.1, dated 2026-06-16.
Key features
Bag inventory slots
Equip bags gain extra inventory slots when worn, adding storage without taking a backpack slot in the main inventory.
Items stored inside pouches
Pouches hold their contents inside the item, so the stored items travel with the pouch.
Trinkets equipment slots
Bags and pouches are equipped through Trinkets slots, so they fit into the existing accessory system.
Balanced capacity
Extra storage is tied to carried equipment, keeping inventory expansion closer to vanilla pacing.

Use cases
Long exploration trips
Players going far from base can carry more supplies in bags and pouches without relying on a chest.
Mining runs
Extra slots let a miner keep tools, torches and ore on hand during long underground sessions.
Who it’s for: Players who want more carrying capacity while keeping the feel of vanilla survival. Server owners who want a physical storage system can add it to a Fabric server with Trinkets installed.
How it compares
Scout Recrafted is the other open source option with the same bag idea, but it runs on Fabric and Forge and covers 1.20.1 – 1.21.11 under the MIT License. Satchels is a Fabric mod for 1.21.11 – 26.2 released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source and does not cover 1.21.1. Pouches! works on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.21.5 – 1.21.11 and is server required with the client optional.
