A simple but immersive backpack mod
Backpacks for Dummies is a bare bones backpack mod without any extra keybinds, menus or slots. Backpacks can instead 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. This mod also puts a great focus on immersion and gamefeel with some extra animated flair.
Content
If you haven't guessed it already, this mod adds backpacks:
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 dying:
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.
