TotemRemnant
by Yunitrish
With TotemRemnant, players carry modular backpacks that hold extra storage away from the chest and can recover eligible items after death.
What it does
Backpacks are carried in the inventory and opened with a right click, exposing slots that can be used alongside the regular inventory window. Upgrades are made at a Smithing Table, and an in-game manual shows the live recipes. The Netherite tier includes built-in fire protection, and dyeing normal backpacks with vanilla dyes mixes colors through repeated dyeing or a water-filled cauldron.
The mod combines protective modules, sculk-based shards and crystallization into one configurable portable-container system. Server owners can tune how it behaves. TotemRemnant is for survival worlds where storage away from a chest matters, and it is released under the Apache License 2.0 as open source, with source code and an issue tracker public. Fabric API is required, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod.
Key features
Modular backpacks
Backpacks take upgrade modules that add rows, protection and access, so one bag can grow with the player's progress.
Single-use soulbound retention
A backpack keeps its contents through death by consuming an installed charge, so the stored items return to the player.
Ender access
Backpacks with the module open the player's own Ender Chest storage without a separate block.
Metal compaction
Supported metals are compressed using the world's current recipes, turning loose ingots into denser blocks inside the backpack.
Matching pickup
Items picked up on the ground are sent into the backpack when they match variants already stored in it.
Protection modules
Modules guard against specific dropped-item hazards such as lava and fire, so valuable stacks survive.
