Inspecting and Monitoring Vaults with Scanners and Display Links

Since Item Vaults do not open like standard vanilla chests, you can use the mod's inspection tool and readout features to check exact storage totals and set up factory monitoring.

Inspecting Vaults with the Scanner

For an instant manual check on any vault in your world, use the Scanner tool.

1. Hold the Scanner tool in your hand and walk up to any basic or tiered vault.

2. Right-click any block in the vault multiblock.

3. Check the detailed UI readout to view the vault's material tier, connected block count, slot limits, and exact stored item counts.

Using Display Links and Threshold Switches

When automating large item networks, you can track vault fill levels and transfer items rapidly without hurting game performance:

  • Display Links: Attach a Display Link to a tiered vault to use dedicated readouts for stored item counts, used slots, and overall vault sizes.
  • Threshold Switches: When configuring Threshold Switches on your vaults, click the preset jump buttons for faster setup, and use the clipboard copy feature to paste your settings onto other switches.
  • Redstone Comparators: Standard comparators reading from tiered vaults run fewer update checks during rapid item transfers, keeping performance smooth in busy storage halls.
