Scout Reforked
by AbyssLasea
Scout Reforked lets a satchel worn in an equipment slot show its contents directly in the player inventory, without opening a separate screen.
What it does
Scout Reforked turns bags into equipment worn in dedicated accessory slots. Instead of opening a separate interface and pressing a key such as B, a player can manage a worn backpack's contents straight from the player inventory screen, opened with E. Bag slot counts can be set in the config, and several bag styles are included.
The mod is a reworked continuation of Scout, which itself took inspiration from Satchels. It can be integrated with Curios API, which is an optional dependency. The mod is compatible with JEI and other mods commonly used in modpacks, and the author notes that it was customized for the TerraFirmaCraft Remake modpack. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the source code and issue tracker are public.
The mod is published for Forge and NeoForge only, covering 1.20.1 and 1.21.1. Installation covers the server and each player's game. The latest Forge file is 0.0.6-1.20.1, released 2025-08-15, and the latest NeoForge file is 0.0.7-1.21.1, released 2026-09-23.

What the author says
I have not used any of Scout's code; this mod is only published under the same name. This mod lets you naturally extend your inventory by equipping satchels. Instead of opening a separate interface with a key like B, you can manage your backpack's contents directly from the player inventory screen (E).
