Chest Preview Mod FAQ

The mod activates automatically when you look directly at any supported container—no keybind needed. If you don't see a preview window, check that the mod is installed correctly and that the container type is supported (chests, barrels, furnaces, hoppers, etc.).

Yes, the preview window automatically shows all items from both halves of a double chest in a single floating display. The window updates in real time as items are added or removed from either side.

You can disable previews for specific container types through the mod's customization settings, or adjust the range at which previews appear so distant containers don't clutter your view. Check the configuration options to hide previews for furnaces, hoppers, or other blocks you don't need to inspect often.

No, the preview window only appears when you're looking directly at the container and disappears when you look away or move out of range. This keeps your screen clean and prevents floating windows from cluttering your view.

Yes, the mod works entirely on your client side, so you don't need the server to have it installed. You can use it on any server to preview containers without affecting other players.

Yes, you can customize the position and size of preview windows through the mod's settings to place them wherever is most convenient for your playstyle. You can adjust these settings individually for different container types if needed.

No, the preview only shows the contents of the container you're looking at directly. If a shulker box is inside a chest, you'll see the shulker box as an item, but not its contents—you'd need to look at the shulker box itself to preview what's inside it.

Multiple preview windows updating at once can impact performance, especially with many containers nearby. Try reducing the preview range, disabling previews for certain container types, or limiting how many previews can appear on screen at the same time through the mod settings.

Yes, the mod suppresses the chest lid animation and opening sound on your client for a cleaner viewing experience. This only affects what you see and hear—other players will still see and hear normal chest interactions.

Yes, the preview window for furnaces, blast furnaces, and smokers displays all three slots (input, output, and fuel) in the floating window so you can see exactly what's cooking and what's ready to collect.
