Chest Frame+

by zikoqq

Chest Frame+ lets players see the contents of a chest from outside by placing phantom item frames on its faces, with no need to open it.

FabricClient-side onlyMIT License26.1.2 – 26.2

What it does

Phantom item frames are placed on the chest faces to show the items inside, so a player can check a storage container without opening it. The display can be switched on and off, and each face can be chosen separately: front, back, left or right.

Frame style can be set to regular, luminous, transparent, stone, ender or hologram. Item sorting and a setting for the first slot's maximum number are included, and a count of items can be shown on each frame. Position, offset, rotation and scale can be fine-tuned for single and double chests alike.

The mod is built on the Fabric loader and is licensed under the MIT License, which means it is not open source. Only the client needs it, so servers run without it. Files are published for 26.1.2 and 26.2, with 1.1.0+26.2 for 26.2 as the latest file, released 2026-06-18.
