How to Check Chest Contents Without Opening Them

Viewing Container Contents

In survival worlds, constantly opening and closing storage blocks to see what is inside slows down everyday gameplay. With the Container Tooltips mod, you can inspect inventory contents directly from the world view.

1. Walk up to any placed chest or storage container.

2. Point your crosshair directly at the container block.

3. Keep your reticle positioned on the block. A tooltip will automatically appear on your screen showing the items stored inside.

4. Move your crosshair away from the chest to dismiss the tooltip.

Checking Multiple Containers in Sequence

Instead of right-clicking each container and waiting for the chest interface to load, you can inspect an entire area seamlessly:

• Sweep your crosshair smoothly across adjacent chests in your base.
• As the crosshair moves from block to block, the tooltip updates to display the items of the container currently in your line of sight.
• Only right-click when you see the exact items you need to take out or deposit, saving time during crafting and inventory management.
