Middle-earth Satchels

Tiered leather satchels forged from the metals of Middle-earth, so you can carry more on your journey.

A Fabric mod for the Middle-earth mod

Description

Eight backpacks, each forged from a Middle-earth culture’s own metal and wearing its people’s mark. No diamonds and no redstone, because neither exists in this world. The finer the metal, the more you can carry, from a plain leather satchel up to a legendary mithril one.

Hold a satchel and right-click to open it like a chest, or set it down as a block and it keeps everything inside. Dye the cloth wrap to your own colours, and the colour even shows on the one you placed.

Tip: to pick a placed satchel back up with all its contents, sneak with an empty hand. Breaking it drops it fully packed too, so nothing is ever lost.

What you get

	Eight sizes, more room each step: from a humble Leather satchel (27 slots) up to Mithril (54). Copper, tin, steel, then the Dwarven, Elven and Mordor steels sit in between.
	Right-click to open a familiar chest-style inventory. Everything is stored safely inside the item, so it travels with you.
	Set it down as a block: sneak-place it, right-click to open it where it stands, sneak with an empty hand to pick it up with its contents, or break it to drop it packed.
	Dye the cloth wrap with any dye, and the colour shows on the placed satchel too. Wash it out again in a cauldron whenever you like.
	Each satchel wears its people’s mark: the Crown of Men, the Dwarven Mountain, the Leaf of Lórien, the Eye of Mordor, and the Mithril gem.
	English and Русский built in.
