Useful Backpacks is a great storage enhancement mod that adds three tiers of inventory expansion in the form of backpacks. The small pack is simple to craft with four pieces of leather, four wood planks and a piece of string. This pack adds just a minor increase to your inventory by expanding 15 more slots to be able to use. The packs are also very easy to use and can be accessed simply by right-clicking it while holding it in your hand.

The main purpose is obviously to provide the player with some often much needed extra storage that also happens to be portable. With these bags you can transfer over any of those excess items you no longer need quick access to or anything you see fit by simply dropping them in your handy useful bag. So with that the next upgrade is the medium pack offering a bit more storage. These are crafted similarly to the basic bag but you will need two of those small packs in your crafting grid to make the much larger medium bag. This bag will now give you 54 additional slots to utilize all while still only taking up one of your normal inventory slots.

And then of course there is an even bigger upgrade pack appropriately called the large pack. This is the pack that will be the most useful for only using one slot of inventory and it greatly expands the amount of items you can carry or store at one time. This one requires two medium packs when crafting but will be much more useful and worth it to have around since it gives you a whopping 117 additional storage slots per pack! If you craft several of these packs you can massively multiply the amount of items you can still carry around with you while only taking up a small portion of your regular inventory.

These packs are literally like carrying portable chests with you to maximize the somewhat lacking inventory in standard Minecraft. There are many situations where you will likely need more storage on hand than what you normally get. Say you are out mining for hours and without additional storage provided by these backpacks, you would need to craft several chests and continually go back and forth between them to drop the items you collect. Now you can maximize your inventory capacity by simply adding a backpack or several backpacks that only take up one slot but will allow you to carry several times more items at one time! This mod also allows you to craft the packs in any color wool the game comes with so you can coordinate to your own style or designate certain colors for certain items!

So if you have ever needed to expand your storage capabilities and want to do so in a light weight fashion that is also incredibly functional, then the Useful Backpacks mod is the one for you. This mod does also require an additional API to be installed alongside it called U Team Core and it can found here.
