So I found a plugin that allows for players to expand their backpack for up too 9 pages!

Basically your inventory holds 36 items in total. This plugin adds up to 8 more pages of inventories (in other words if the player has all 9 inventories then that's 9 X 36 items). This can be customized so different people can have different numbers of additional inventories.

Price: $5 per extra inventory page.
Package can be bought up to 8 times (for a total of 9 pages because everyone starts with their first single page).

So basically to switch between inventory pages one simply presses shift to sneak, and scrolls the mouse wheel. Meanwhile scrolling while not sneaking will simply switch between items in the inventory like it currently does.

Here is the link to the plugin: http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/mech-backpack-v2-2-0-the-ultimate-inventory-expander-953.6029/

I'm not too sure how Optical would feel about editing the server this much for a donation.
All the current donations don't actually change much about the game, but having extra inventory space may be a little too much. Just my opinion though.

That plugin looks confusing to be quite honest and I think I've seen a plugin that does a better job.
It doesn't display any information on what page you are on which would be difficult for users to locate their items.

Well this plugin is simpler than it may sound. When you use your scroll wheel on your mouse, or press a number on the keyboard to select item 1-9 it selects that item. Then if you do the exact same thing, but while sneaking (pressing shift) this plugin steps in and changes the inventory page. I would think this plugin would allow for more than scrolling. So if you press Shift+1 you go to inventory page 1. If you press Shift+2 you go to inventory page 2. If you press 2 you select item 2 in your currently selected page.

Why would you need an extra backpack?  How hard is it to run to your home when you need to empty your backpack?  Especially now that you can get 5 homes!  What's that, the /back command doesn't work?  Use your 5th house as a "save point" when you're out running around so you can constantly get back to where you were.

This isn't about me wanting to make the game easier for me. Even with the homes and all, there are probably some people who would like to have the additional spaces.

The big thing about this is this would not be a free feature. Everyone of course has their first backpack which they must have in-game. The point of the idea is to raise money for the server when players who want more backpack space donate money (say 5 bucks per extra backpack) to the server. Plus a player could pay 40 bucks for 8 additional backpacks which is good money for the server.

/return works too.

Yes, I have realized since before I even posted. It's a suggestion that's still open for discussion, which is why it's in the Suggestions Portal, so that people don't start a suggestion that mirrored what another suggestion was already about.

This is, in my opinion, quite a good idea, but I think it should be limited to buying 1 more page, for $5-10. Otherwise, it gets a bit overpowered.

Holy Mother of Necropost.

But honestly, if this gets implemented I would definitely get it.

Dosent seem very needed, it's okay, but only AMAZING!!!!!! Ideas really get implemented, speaking of which what where some suggestions that got implemented
+ NECRO!!!!!!

Ok with this idea, the point isn't to make Opti rich. The point is to have a cool feature that can be donated for. What can the additional funds from donations do? They can be set aside for those off-months when the server may get an unusually low amount of donation money so Optical doesn't have to pay out of pocket, or they could be used to even get a better server to support more than 85 players without lagging down below 12 ticks per second.
