How to Inspect Nested Storage Bags and Containers

Checking Deeply Stored Items

When managing large resource stashes, players frequently organize items into multiple tiers of storage, such as placing bundles or shulker boxes inside custom modded backpacks. Normally, discovering what sits inside a bag hidden within another bag requires completely unpacking everything into your player inventory.

Viewing Nested Contents

1. Open your player inventory or any chest holding your storage bags.

2. Hover your mouse cursor over the parent container to bring up its standard preview window.

3. Identify any nested containers—such as bundles or secondary bags—stored inside the parent item's grid.

4. Use the preview display to inspect the items stored inside those nested bags directly, without opening or unpacking them first.

This nesting inspection allows you to organize layered storage setups effortlessly. You can quickly locate specific resources across multiple nested bags without cluttering your inventory or placing down individual containers.
