Sophisticated Backpacks does what it aims to do and does so well. The textures and models are lovely and fit Minecraft’s aesthetic, there’s a lot of different upgrades to tailor backpacks just how you like, and in particular, making backpacks placeable in-world is a nice touch, making backpacks feel more like real things rather than “magic bag of holding” that many older backpack mods fall into.

My only point of contention is that the sheer number and power of upgrades can occasionally make Sophisticated Backpacks out of place or overpowered, akin to using a bulldozer to dig a garden. The level of customization provided via configs mitigates this issue, but unless you’re willing to take a stab at the configs, other backpack mods can fill specific niches out of the box that Sophisticated Backpacks has to be molded to fit into. This isn’t so much as a complaint so much as a heads-up; Sophisticated Backpacks is not a drag-and-drop backpack mod by any means.

This mod is a worthwhile addition to any and all modpacks it makes exploration and building easier being able to keep everything on you at once

In the astoundingly vast sea of portable storage options, I’ll always recommend Sophisticated Backpacks, they make me feel like an adventuring nomad, provide an absurd utility even as a normal chest, and are more customizable than anyone asked for, with upgrades that go beyond your magnets and getting bigger, but liquid tanks, exp storage, and portable jukeboxes. Cannot recommend this mod enough.

If you’re looking for something just to hold your ludicrous amounts of junk, I’d reccomend Dank Storage and Dank tanks, or Pocket storage.

If you want something a little less OP but (almost) Just as versatile, try Travelers Backpacks
