What does Simple Backpacks add?

Fabric supported NeoForge supported Support me on Ko-fi

Simple Backpacks

Three tiers of backpack. You dye them like leather armor, and when you craft the next tier around one, your items and your color stay in the bag. The mod needs no library and adds no menus beyond the backpack itself.

✨ Features

🎨 Dye it however you want

Put a backpack in the crafting grid with any dye, the same way you color leather armor. Mix dyes to get shades that are not in the base set.

Dye it as much as you want

⬆️ Upgrade without unpacking

Surround your backpack with the next tier's materials and craft. The items inside carry over and so does the dye. You never empty the bag onto the floor to move up a tier.

Upgrade and keep the dye and items

⚙️ Configure it

Change slot counts per tier, turn off tiers you do not want, and edit the recipes. Set it up for your own world, or fix the values for everyone on your server.

Many settings to configure the mod to your taste

❓ FAQ

Does it work in multiplayer?

Yes. Install it on the client and the server.

Do items drop when I die?

I built the first version in MCreator, with textures modified from the originals. I have since rewritten the mod in code, with native NeoForge and Fabric support.
