HoloInventory Revived

by cheyao

HoloInventory Revived shows the contents of a chest or machine as a holographic view, so players can check items without opening the container.

FabricForgeNeoForgeMIT LicenseOpen source1.20 – 1.21.8

What it does

Pressing shift or control while looking at a container brings up a holographic pop-up of its contents. The view covers vanilla containers and modded ones, and it lets a player preview the outputs of machines without opening them. The mod is a revival of an earlier HoloInventory mod, ported to newer Minecraft versions, and the original credit goes to Dries007.

The mod requires Cloth Config API and Fabric API, and it has to be installed on both the server and the client, because both sides need it to work. Its caching is meant to keep server-side resource use low. Files cover Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.20 – 1.21.8, and the code is open source under the MIT License.

Key features

  1. Holographic container view

    A pop-up shows what a container holds while the player looks at it and holds a modifier key.

  2. Machine output preview

    Outputs of machines can be checked without opening them, which saves time when sorting results.

  3. Holo glasses item

    A craftable glasses item keeps the holographic view active while equipped, with a glass panel used in versions that lack a spyglass.

  4. Server-side caching

    Cached container data keeps the work done on the server small, so the mod does not add much load.
