Wanderer's Backpack
by Maze_dev
Wanderer's Backpack adds wearable backpacks that carry extra storage without taking up an inventory slot, for players who travel far from home.
What it does
Players equip a backpack and keep it with them on expeditions, so the storage goes wherever the player goes. The backpack is meant for holding the items a traveler needs most, such as tools, food and building blocks, while the main inventory stays free. The mod is aimed at explorers, cave delvers and builders on long trips into distant lands.
Each backpack is crafted from simple survival materials, and it can be upgraded later as the journey continues. The mod works in modded worlds and stays lightweight alongside other mods. It requires NeoForge and is published for 1.21.1 only, with the latest file 1.0.0 released on 2026-08-09 on the beta channel. The code is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 or later.
A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Its author describes it as an independent, unofficial modification affiliated with the endorsed MrCrayfish mod line.

Upgradable backpacks
Backpacks can be improved after crafting, so storage grows as the player moves on to longer expeditions.
Lightweight design
