    Problems with setup in 1.21.5?
    1.21.5 safe version datapack (the 1.21.10 resources should 100% work)

    Backpacks Datapack (1.17+)
    The first datapack [​2020] adding aesthetically pleasing datapacks, actually working and visible on the player model when held, without mods and in a multiplayer friendly-way.

    Backpacks can contain items, up to 27 slots!
    The backpack recipe is simple, and with the classic model come its coloured version.

    Just download the datapack and its needed resource pack

    (for servers, it can be renamed resources.zip and put in the world folder)

    and try it. For additional info consult the official WIKI of the pack or ask in the comments of this PMC page.

    I hope you'll like this wonderful datapack, let me know for any suggestion, needed bugfixes or anything else! As always, working for free, working for you! Feel free to help with a diamond and subscription.

    Good day!

    FYI, 26.3-6 won't launch a save with the most recent version of this in it's datapacks folder. I haven't played in a bit and just discovered this today.

    Thanks

    Unfortunately I've not been available the last weeks. I'll update the datapack to the latest versions as soon as I can.

    I enjoy this mod a lot, but I'd like the ability to still hold a light source in my offhand. Is there a way I can do that with this mod? Technically the backpack is on our backs and we have a free hand to use... Let me knoW!

    The backpack actually is in the off hand.

    So no, you can't hold something else.

    Greeting! I'm playing a fresh world in 26.1 rc.2 and it looks like the explorer backpack texture and model has stopped working. The other three versions (both chest and the camping) are fine.

    Thanks
