Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on the preview window when I look at a chest?
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.).
Can I see inside a double chest with this mod?
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.
Why am I seeing preview windows for containers I don't want to look at?
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.
Does the preview window stay open when I move away from the chest?
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.
