We think something like a single slot for an backpack item, much like the knapsack from tinkers in 1.7.10. This way it is not as overpowered and does not make shulkerboxes useless in the late game while still giving the player some more inventory space on hand.

Backpacks mods are always popular (even tho I don't personally like most of them) I find they tend to be too powerful, too cheap, and make shulkers obsolete. However. and if done alongside packed shulkers (issue 22), you could add some smaller more progression friendly backpacks into the game
Lets say the best you could get in the overworld is leather and then iron, ranging from 5 or 9 slots for leather and 9 or 18 for iron (depending on how powerful you want them to be) after that youd have to expand to the nether, and then the end, perhapse finally coming back to netherite
puches would be a little bit easier to obtain (especially early game) but not as large as shulkers as to avoid ruining one of the two reasons to venture past killed the ender dragon (shulkers and elytras)
I understand this is starting to stray from vanilla a little bit, but im fairly confidant you could make these a vanilla feeling addition that doesn't make shulkers useless, and Curio support would be a cool addition to this modual
