Chest Tracker Core Mechanics

The mod operates on a 'see-to-remember' logic. It does not scan the world for chests; instead, it updates its internal database every time a container's inventory is loaded on your screen.

Memory Bank

The Memory Bank is the core data structure where item locations are stored. It tracks:

• Item Type: The specific block or item
• Quantity: The total count of that item in a specific container
• Location: The exact X, Y, Z coordinates and the dimension (Overworld, Nether, End)
• Container Type: Whether it is a chest, barrel, shulker box, or modded container

Integrity Checks

Since the mod is client-side, it cannot know if a chest was broken or emptied while you were away. To mitigate this, Chest Tracker includes integrity checks. When you are near a remembered container, the mod can verify if the block still exists. If a container is found to be missing or changed, the mod updates its records accordingly.
