Good Backpacks
The author built this one for Minecraft 1.20.1 on Forge. On other versions it may install and then do nothing.







🎒 Good Backpacks is a highly flexible and fully configurable backpack mod focused on convenience, balance, and modpack customization.
Unlike simple storage mods, Good Backpacks allows you to deeply customize how backpacks work — from basic behavior to adding entirely new backpacks with your own parameters via config. The mod adds 7 types of backpacks.
✨ Main Features
🧩 Fully Configurable — almost every aspect can be adjusted in the config
🛠 Custom Backpacks — add your own backpacks and define their size, behavior, and properties
🎒 Dedicated Backpack Slot — backpacks have their own slot, separate from armor
🦺 Optional Chestplate Mode — backpacks can be configured to use the chestplate slot
🪽 Elytra Friendly — backpacks do not interfere with elytra usage
🧥 Cape Hiding — the cape is hidden automatically when wearing a backpack
⌨ Keybind Access — open your backpack by pressing B while wearing it
🔁 Chestplate Compatibility — backpacks can be worn together with chest armor (depending on config)
⚙️ Designed for Modpacks
Good Backpacks is built with modpack creators in mind:
No forced balance choices
No unnecessary combat bonuses
Clean integration into vanilla and modded gameplay
Works great for survival, exploration, and RPG-style packs
🧭 Gameplay Philosophy
This mod enhances inventory management without breaking immersion or balance. Whether you want a simple backpack or a fully custom system tailored to your modpack, Good Backpacks gives you complete control.
