Backpacks!

by Eclipse Studios

Backpacks! adds wearable storage containers that players can dye and upgrade, and it works with vanilla-style inventory handling.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalApache License 2.0Open source1.20.5 – 26.2

What it does

Backpacks are placed into a container and filled like chests, then carried. Players can dye them in several colors and add upgrades that change how the backpack behaves. The mod is a server-side install, so players may join without it, though a client with the mod can show the custom models and colors.

Fabric API is required on every loader it ships for, and the mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, plus a data pack option for servers. Files cover 1.20.5 – 26.2, and the latest build is 1.3.5 for 26.2, released 2026-06-20. The code is open source under the Apache License 2.0.

Container closing detection can cause item flicker inside backpacks. Model artwork comes from Mitsaori's backpack models, and a shader by Evtema3 hides the menu nametag in third person with AmberWat's Negative Space Font. Translations exist for English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese and Simplified Chinese.

Key features

  1. Dyeable backpacks

    Each backpack can be dyed, so players can tell their storage apart at a glance.

  2. Upgradeable storage

    Backpacks accept upgrades that extend what they can hold or do.

  3. Vanilla-style handling

    Items move in and out of backpacks through the normal inventory interface.

  4. Custom models

    Backpack models come from Mitsaori's artwork and render on the player when worn.

  5. Third-person nametag hiding

    A shader by Evtema3 hides the menu nametag in third-person view.
