Keep Watch for Mobs and Players While Sorting Chests

With this pack, chests and ender chests have see-through panels. You can watch the area around you while you move items. These steps help you get the most out of that view.

Set up a safer sorting spot

1. Place your chests so that you face outward when you open them, toward a cave mouth, a doorway, or open ground. You see what is in front of your camera, so you want to face the direction threats will come from.

2. Keep the space behind the chest open and well lit. Your eyes will be on the transparent menu and the terrain beyond it, so dark corners there are harder to read.

3. If text looks hard to read against busy terrain, lower the GUI Scale in Video Settings. This makes the menu take up less of the screen.

Sort while staying alert

• Open the chest and glance past your item slots every few seconds. A mob or player moving toward you is visible through the panel.
• If something approaches, press Esc or your inventory key to close the menu right away and deal with the threat.
• When you are away from base, open your ender chest instead of standing still at a pile of chests. Its menu is also transparent, and it lets you store loot fast.
• In PvP areas, avoid opening containers with your back to an open approach. The pack only shows what is in front of your camera.
