Feature: Hardcore backpack mode.

What should the new feature do?

Something similar to the first part of this amazing idea for a mod, "Expanded 
Inventory",

nded-inventory-5-new-equipment-slots

Where the backpack *is* your inventory, and until you craft it, you are stuck 
with only your hotbar and the 2x2. The backpacks have a limited durability, and 
if they break, everything drops. 

There should also be a Slowness effect with the large backpack on, and Speed 
when the backpack is off.

You can only have 1 backpack in your inventory, and that must be in your 
chestplate slot. It has no protection.

Also

Maybe as another config, there should also be pickpocketing, where others can 
right-click the backpack and steal things, but with a loud ZZIP  sound, and a 
1-block range. :D that would so be fun on a server...

That would make this mod more fair, to make the game easier, and harder.

Should there be a config option to enable/disable the behaviour?

Yes, maybe as both a config option and a cheat command?

I think most of these ideas are too much work to implement them.

But the idea of a slowness debuff based on the backpacks weight is cool and I 
might implement this.

Yeah the slowness would totally add a downpoint to this mod, so it is not like 
an unfair advantage! :)
