Inventory upgrade

I have an idea to inprove inventory with backpacks. I know im not the first one who say that but. My idea to have 3 levels backpack system. First thing first in inventory would be add back slot where you can place one unstackable tool or backpack. Backpack shoud't have ro be cheap. And each level cost more chest and leather. All backpacks are made not from iron or diamond. Small backpack add 9 inventory slots.(total 45). Medium backpack add 18 inventory slots. (Total 54). And then you can upgrade to even more space or crafting table. Big backpack add 27 inventory slots. (Total 63) Or crafting backpack add 18 slots and with it you can access 3 by 3 crafting grid in inventory. I personaly think backpacks shoud be added but they shoud replace egsisting inventory and a little big expande it.

    Although I don't think this was ever stated as a design principle by the dev team publicly, I do think there's a reason why they haven't added items that just expand inventory slots. We've seen them add bundles and shulker boxes and ender chests, but never anything that just directly expanded inventory space. I can't say that I know the reasoning behind this, but it is apparent.

    Yes please!  A way to have 9 more quickly accessible inventory slots will make the game vastly less limiting.  I find if I go mining or exploring I have 27 slots filled before I start.  The next 9 quickly are filled with stones and ores and smelted ores and compressed those.  And then I need to drop a chest and leave inventory behind all the time, and make multiple trips just to move it all to the surface.  9 more will much more than double the time before things get clogged up.

    I think this would make sense, add a new square on the character GUI for capes and Backpacks (pick one or the other for that slot) and the upgrades would expand the player inventory, even if additions are small, say 3 slots per upgrade, it would make it more valuable than a bundle which is causing cross-platform issues. You could have a similar armor progression of the upgrades and it doesn't cross over into other storage ideas. leather 3 slots, iron 6 slots, gold 9 slots, diamond 12 slots, netherite 15 slots. having more Player inventory keeps sulkers valuable to expand especially with the increase number of items in the game.

    Yes, please, we need a larger inventory, even a slightly larger one. Micromanagement is fun until it's no longer.
