How to Access Nearby Chests and Storage Containers

You do not need to look directly at individual storage blocks and right-click them one by one to sort your base storage. The Vicinity menu gathers nearby containers into a single view so you can move items between several blocks without closing your screen.

Identifying Containers in the Vicinity Column

1. Stand within three blocks of the chests, barrels, or other container blocks—such as a Jukebox—that you want to check.

2. Press E to open the inventory interface and look at the scrollable Vicinity column on the left.

3. Hover your cursor over a container entry in the list. If you have several identical chests stacked together, read the coordinate tooltip and distance measurement to confirm which physical block in the world you are viewing.

Opening Inline Container Drawers

1. Click the container selector icon inside the Vicinity column.

2. An inline slot drawer expands directly inside the column, revealing all the slots inside that block without leaving your main inventory screen.

3. Drag items freely between the expanded container drawer, ground loot entries, your main inventory slots, or other nearby containers.

4. Click other container selectors in the scrollable list to inspect multiple storage blocks from the exact same spot.
