Chest helper
Chest Helper remembers the storage containers a player has opened and lists their contents in a searchable window, so items can be found and moved without walking back to each chest.
What it does
Containers are recorded per server world and dimension when they are opened: chests, barrels and shulker boxes. The saved data persists between game sessions, and a reset option clears it from the GUI, where the data folder can also be opened. The searchable item list shows each item's name and icon, the total stored amount and the amount available, with large counts shortened to forms such as 1k or 1.5k.
Matching can be precise: items with renamed names, enchantments, potions or stack components are kept apart, while books, tools and filled shulker boxes can be merged on item ID alone. Taking items works within 6 blocks of the player, using the normal client inventory. The container screen stays hidden during automatic pickup and a short result message appears instead, and remembered contents update after items are taken or moved. The mod is client-side only, so it changes nothing on the server side.
Key features
Remembered containers
Opened chests, barrels and shulker boxes are recorded per server world and dimension, and the data is kept between sessions.
Searchable item list
A GUI lists items with names, icons, total stored amounts and amounts available, with counts shortened for readability.
Bulk actions
Pressing the up arrow moves matching stacks from the inventory into remembered containers nearby, but only into those that already hold that item type; the down arrow pulls matching items out of those containers back into the inventory.
Keyboard and click controls
The default B key opens the window. Left click takes one stack, right click takes a chosen amount, and shift click takes all matching items; shift with the mouse wheel changes that amount.
