Minecraft Free In-Game Add-On — Herschel Backpack Trials
1 The free Herschel Backpack Trials add-on is available now at Minecraft Marketplace, and it comes with a wearable backpack — and some challenges you can take on to upgrade it — so you can truly leave nothing behind as you adventure. 6 The Herschel Backpack Trials add-on drops a wearable backpack into your world, and as you complete in-game challenges it grows from a modest 24 slots into a 288-slot monster — that works out to 442,368 items when every slot is fully stacked, far beyond the 40 slots a standard player inventory gives you.
How the Backpack Upgrades Work
1 You’ll be tasked with collecting various blocks and items, storing them in your trusty backpack. With each completed trial, you’ll unlock 24 more slots in your Herschel backpack to fill with beloved trinkets, stacks of dirt, and everything in between. 1 With more friends, you can complete more trials! Technically you can complete all of them both solo and multiplayer, but you can do it much faster with friends, and they’ll also upgrade their own backpacks in the process!
Special Backpack Features
1 When upgraded with certain special items, the Herschel backpack can sort, deposit, repair, and even smelt items automatically and on the go.
The Physical Collection
2 Alongside the add-on, Herschel launched a physical collection of more than 30 products inspired by Minecraft’s three dimensions. The adult range draws from the Overworld, the Nether, and the End, while a junior line features recognizable mobs like the Creeper and Enderman. 4 We’ll be seeing more than a dozen different products with six custom Minecraft-inspired prints, like beanies, caps, backpacks, hip packs, pencil cases, and lunchboxes.
🌟 Standout Product — Little America Cube Backpack
6 The standout is the ultra-limited Herschel Little America Cube Backpack, which copies a block straight off the screen in finishes like Black Block, Orange Block, and Grass Block. 2 The standout item is the Minecraft Herschel Little America Cube Backpack in Orange Block, a limited-edition piece that Herschel is also giving away in a sweepstakes. Three backpacks are available to win, with entry details on the Herschel website.
🛒 Where to Get It
4 The Herschel x Minecraft collection is available now through Herschel Supply stores, Herschel’s online shop, and select retail partners. Meanwhile, the Herschel Backpack Trials add-on is available as a free download from the Minecraft Marketplace for those with Minecraft: Bedrock Edition.
💡 Why This Collab Matters
2 Herschel put their product in the player’s hands for hours, across dozens of sessions, in a context where it actually solves a real problem — making this collab closer to a product trial than an ad. 2 Kids who max out the Herschel backpack in Minecraft and then see it in a store aren’t just seeing a brand — they’re seeing something they already spent time with, something that felt useful, and can also be useful in their everyday lives.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: Is the Herschel Backpack Trials add-on completely free, and which version of Minecraft does it support?
6 Download the free Herschel Backpack Trials add-on from the Minecraft Marketplace on Bedrock Edition, equip the backpack, then complete Herschel Trials to unlock 24 more slots each time, up to 16 pages and 288 total slots. The add-on is free and lives in the Minecraft Marketplace — there’s no purchase step, so the whole point is just to install it and load it into a world.
Q2: How does the Herschel in-game backpack compare to the standard Minecraft inventory?
4 Once fully upgraded and stacked, the backpack can reportedly hold up to 442,368 items, compared to the 65,668 items you can traditionally carry (ignoring the use of Shulker boxes and Ender Chests). This makes the Herschel backpack an absolute game-changer for serious Minecraft collectors and builders alike!
