Known Issues
Issues identified:

- While not a bug, the single bag item’s appearance is unsatisfactory.
- Although not a bug, it is suggested that items and model textures should align better with Minecraft’s typical color palette and depth perception.
As the mod evolves, you may encounter glitches. If you spot any, please report them.
Additionally, if you have suggestions to enhance the mod’s experience, don’t hesitate to share your ideas. -
Source Code Availability

As this is my inaugural mod, I want to extend my gratitude to @TurtyWurty on YouTube for jump-starting my fabric modding journey through his tutorials.
This mod draws inspiration from the Wolf Armor and Storage Mod created by saturniidae for previous versions of Minecraft (Forge).
