Container Tooltips
by Urokhtor
Container Tooltips shows the contents of chests, barrels and other containers when the cursor hovers over them in the world, without opening them.
What it does
Players can see what a container holds without opening it, which saves repeatedly opening and reopening chests to check their contents. The feature covers in-world containers and is aimed at the same use as Shulker Box Tooltips for shulker boxes. Client and server both need the mod, because the client shows the contents that the server stores, and the mod needs to run on both sides to work in multiplayer.
Key features
Container contents preview
Hovering over a container shows its contents in a tooltip, without the container being opened.
In-world containers
The preview works on containers placed in the world rather than only on items held in inventory.
