Shulkerboxes to Backpacks Resource Pack replaces vanilla shulker boxes with wearable backpack models. It transforms both the inventory items and placed blocks into travel bags for your adventures. Placing a bag into your offhand slot makes it appear directly on the back of your character model.

Frequently asked questions

How do I wear a backpack on my back?
Move any shulker box into your offhand slot by dragging it into the shield slot in your inventory or pressing your swap-hands key while holding it. As long as it stays in your offhand, the bag model renders directly on your character's back instead of in your hand.
How do I craft a backpack?
This resource pack replaces vanilla shulker boxes rather than adding new items, so there are no custom recipes to learn. Craft a regular vanilla shulker box using shulker shells and a chest, and it will automatically appear as a backpack.
Why do my shulker boxes still look normal or have broken textures?
This pack relies on OptiFine custom model features to display the 3D travel bags properly. Check that you are running OptiFine and that custom item and block models are enabled in your video quality settings.
Can I open my backpack without placing it on the ground?
Because this is a visual resource pack, your bags still follow vanilla shulker box rules and must be placed down as a block to open them. If you want to open them directly from your inventory, you can pair this pack with storage addons like Advanced Shulkerboxes.
