The Resource Backpack’s Mod (1.21.8, 1.21.1) introduces a balanced and configurable way to expand inventory space in Minecraft using custom backpacks. Unlike traditional mods that allow open-anywhere access, this mod embraces a more grounded approach requiring players to place backpacks before interacting with them, similar to how Shulker Boxes function. It’s ideal for modpack creators or survival players who want extra storage without making the game feel overpowered.
With support for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge, and Quilt, the mod offers full cross-platform flexibility and is designed to fit neatly into both casual and hardcore gameplay environments.

Features:
- Configurable Backpack Sizes:
Backpack inventory can be customized via config files, allowing you to define the number of rows and columns to suit your world or server. - Shulker-Style Access:
By default, backpacks must be placed on the ground to access their contents preserving balance and immersion. - Right-Click Activation:
Optionally, backpacks can be opened with a right-click if enabled in the config, offering convenience for certain playstyles. - Gameplay-Balancing Design:
The mod does not integrate with equipment slot APIs like Accessories, Trinkets, or Curios API Continuation to prevent exploitative usage. - Shulker Box Tooltip Compatibility:
Fully supports the Shulker Box Tooltip mod, allowing players to preview backpack contents without opening them. - Multiloader Support:
Works seamlessly across Fabric, Forge, NeoForge, and Quilt environments.
