Create Container Tooltip
by Boxmen
Create Container Tooltip previews the contents of Create packages and toolboxes in the inventory, shown directly from the item tooltip without opening them.
What it does
Holding the Shift key over a package or toolbox expands its tooltip into a grid of the items it holds. Create Container Tooltip reads each container's layout and lays out the preview to match, and it takes the colour of a package or toolbox so previews blend with the item being hovered. Empty slots can be displayed as well, so a partly filled container shows its free space.
The mod runs on the client alone: servers need nothing installed beyond the Create mod itself, and players can join without it. Create Container Tooltip requires Create, Create Fabric, Cloth Config API, Fabric API and Shulker Box Tooltip on Fabric, and it is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge under the MIT License, which is not open source. Builds cover 1.20.1 – 1.21.1, with Fabric and Forge files for 1.20.1 and NeoForge files for 1.21.1.
Key features
Package previews in the inventory
Packages show their contents in a preview grid while the tooltip is open, with no need to open the container.
Toolbox previews
Toolboxes get the same preview, with their layout kept intact so each slot appears where it sits in the box.
Preview modes
Hide Preview, Normal, Incomplete and Full can each be set as the default, and Shift or Shift with Alt switches between them on the fly.
Hint and label control
Options hide the Shift, Shift + Alt and Ctrl hints and Create's own toolbox description key hints, and set how resource names appear below previews.
