Description
Reliable Backpacks
Reliable Backpacks is a multiloader fork of Spydnel's Backpacks for Dummies: a bare-bones backpack mod without any extra keybinds, menus or slots.
Backpacks can be placed down on the ground directly from your chestplate-slot. This means you can interact with them same as any container, allowing for quick swapping between several backpacks, and easy sharing between players. You can also open other players' backpacks directly from their backs!
What's different?
- Fabric and 1.20.1 support.
- Curios and Trinkets integration.
- Backpacks now properly retain enchantments (like Soul Bound).
- Small tweaks to visuals.
- Added item blacklist tag for the backpack (defaults to shulker boxes and Supplementaries sacks).
- Backpacks can now replace replaceable blocks (like grass).
- Breaking backpacks no longer drops all their items.
Content (from Original Modpage)
Crafted using leather (and rope if farmers delight is installed), backpacks can be placed down as a block or worn on your chestplate-slot. They can be placed down or picked up quickly by shift-clicking.
Backpack Dyeing

Backpacks can be dyed any color just like leather armor.
Placement on Death
If they contain items, backpacks will place themselves down. They'll even float on water!
