HavenBags - Backpack Preview
HavenBags - Backpack Preview lets players see the contents of HavenBags backpacks from the inventory, without opening them.
What it does
Backpacks from the HavenBags plugin show their contents in a tooltip, similar to the preview that bundles and shulker boxes already give. A player can check what a bag holds while staying in the inventory, which saves opening each bag to find an item.
The mod is a lightweight Fabric addition for inventory management. It reduces the number of clicks needed to move items between bags and the rest of the inventory, and it works in single-player and on servers that run the HavenBags plugin. Client-side only, so only the client needs it; the server side is handled by the HavenBags plugin.
Requires Fabric Loader and the HavenBags server plugin on the server for its functionality. The mod is published for Fabric for 1.17 – 26.2 as release versions, 30 in total, and the latest file, 1.1.2-fabric-26.2, targets 26.2. The code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Instant preview
Hovering over a HavenBags backpack displays its contents in a tooltip without opening the bag.
Tooltip like bundles
The preview follows the same style as the tooltips of bundles and shulker boxes, so it reads familiarly.
Fewer inventory actions
Checking a bag no longer requires opening it, which cuts down on the clicks needed to find and move items.
Lightweight design
The mod is small and adds only the preview, keeping the inventory logic on the HavenBags plugin.

Use cases
Checking bags during play
A player with several backpacks can see what each holds from the inventory, without stopping to open them one by one.
Organizing storage on a server
Players on a server running the HavenBags plugin can check their bags while sorting items between them.
Who it’s for: Players who use HavenBags backpacks on a Fabric client, whether on a single-player world or on a server that runs the HavenBags plugin. It is intended for anyone who manages several bags and wants to check their contents quickly.
How it compares
Shulker Preview is also a client-side preview mod for Fabric, published for 1.20 – 26.3 under the MIT License and open source, so it suits shulker boxes rather than HavenBags. Server Backpacks is open source under the CC0 1.0 Universal license for 1.17.1 – 1.18.1 and is server-side only, so players join without installing it.
