Convenient Containers (ConCon)
by Qther
Convenient Containers lets players open Shulker Boxes, Ender Chests and workstations from anywhere by right-clicking with an item in hand while looking at air.
What it does
Convenient Containers is a serverside mod for Fabric and NeoForge. Only the server needs it, so players join without installing anything. The code is open source under the MIT License, and public links exist for the source and the issue tracker. Files are published for 1.21, 1.21.1, 1.21.5 and 1.21.11, with 1.0.4 for 1.21.11 as the latest build on both loaders.
The mod is built on Architectury, a cross-loader development toolkit, which lets one codebase serve both Fabric and NeoForge. Supported containers are Shulker Boxes, Ender Chests and workstations, each opened as a menu from the player's position without placing them in the world first.
Key features
Portable workstations
Shulker Boxes, Ender Chests and workstations open as menus without being placed in the world.
Right-click access
Holding an item in the main hand and right-clicking air opens the stored container menu.
Enchanting Tables excluded
Enchanting Tables are not supported, so the menu does not open for them.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
How it compares
Portable Structure Containers runs on NeoForge only, on 1.21.1, with client and server sides, and is open source under the MIT License. Chest Preview is a Fabric mod for 1.21.1 that needs both sides and is not open source. Switchable Portable Workstations covers Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt on 1.21.11 and is server required with an optional client, under the MIT License without open source status.
