Container Tooltips Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I see what's in a chest without opening it?
Point your crosshair at any storage block like a chest, shulker box, or barrel, and a tooltip will appear showing its contents. You don't need to right-click or open the container.
What containers does this mod work with?
The mod works with most storage blocks including chests, shulker boxes, barrels, and other container blocks. Some modded containers may also be supported depending on how they're coded.
Can I see shulker box contents while it's in my inventory?
Yes, hover your crosshair over a shulker box in your inventory and the tooltip will display its contents without needing to open it.
Does the tooltip show item quantities?
Yes, the tooltip displays each item type and how many of that item are in the container.
Can I disable tooltips for specific containers?
This depends on the mod's configuration options—check your mod settings or config file to see if you can blacklist certain container types.
Why isn't the tooltip appearing when I look at a container?
Make sure you're pointing your crosshair directly at the storage block and holding still for a moment. If it still doesn't work, the container type may not be supported by the mod.
Does this mod work with double chests?
Yes, when you hover over a double chest, the tooltip will show the combined contents of both chest halves.
Will this mod cause lag with many containers nearby?
The mod is lightweight and shouldn't cause noticeable performance issues, but loading tooltips for many containers at once may have minimal impact depending on your system.
Can I customize how the tooltip looks?
Some tooltip appearance settings may be available in the mod's configuration file, though the core functionality remains the same.
Does this work on multiplayer servers?
Yes, the mod works on both single-player and multiplayer servers, as it only displays information about containers on your client side.
