Container Preview Mod FAQ

Simply hover your mouse cursor over the shulker box in your inventory. A tooltip window will appear showing all the items stored inside the container in a grid layout.

Yes, the mod lets you inspect items stored in containers that are themselves inside other storage bags. Hover over the outer container to see its contents, then hover over any nested container within that preview to see what it holds.

Container Preview works with shulker boxes, ender chests, bundles, and custom modded backpacks. If you're using a storage mod, check if it's compatible with the mod's container detection system.

Use the inspection lock mode by pressing the designated control key while hovering over a container. This freezes the tooltip in place so you can examine item details without the preview disappearing.

Yes, Container Preview runs entirely on the client side, so it works on any server without requiring the mod to be installed server-side. On some multiplayer servers, it may also display item prices, seller names, and expiration timers if that data is available.

Make sure you're hovering directly over a supported container item in your inventory. If the container is placed as a block in the world rather than in your inventory, the preview won't appear—you'll need to pick it up first.

Container Preview is lightweight and runs on the client side only, so it has minimal impact on performance. The mod only generates tooltips when you hover over containers, not constantly in the background.

Yes, you can hover over your ender chest item in your inventory from anywhere and see its contents instantly. This is useful for checking what you've stored without traveling back to an ender chest block.

The tooltip will still appear and show a grid of blank slots, so you can confirm the container is empty without needing to open it.

Yes, hovering over a bundle in your inventory will display all items stored inside it in the preview tooltip, just like with shulker boxes and other containers.
