Overview

BackSlot is a functional and aesthetic mod designed to enhance the player's appearance and inventory management. Inspired by the character Dai from the Dragon Quest series, the mod adds two specialized slots to the player's inventory: the Back Slot and the Belt Slot.

Unlike standard inventory slots, items placed in these positions are rendered directly on the player's character model. This allows for a 'heroic' look where weapons like swords, tridents, and bows are visible even when not actively held in the hand. The mod is purely focused on utility and rendering; it does not introduce new blocks, entities, or items to the game world, ensuring high compatibility with vanilla-plus and overhaul modpacks.
