How to Lock Container Tooltips to Inspect Item Stats

Freezing the Preview Window

Standard tooltips disappear as soon as you move your mouse cursor away from the container item. When a shulker box or backpack holds specialized items with unique stats or qualities, you need a way to examine individual items inside the preview without the window closing.

Using Inspection Controls

1. Open your inventory screen or open a storage block.

2. Hover your mouse cursor over the shulker box, bundle, ender chest, or backpack you want to examine.

3. Once the preview grid appears on your screen, use the inspection controls to engage lock mode.

4. With lock mode active, the tooltip freezes in place on your screen.

5. Move your mouse cursor over specific items inside the frozen preview grid to inspect detailed item stats.

6. Disengage lock mode when you are finished inspecting to restore normal inventory navigation.

Lock mode ensures you can check exact attributes on gear stored inside sealed containers without having to place and open the box.
