Item On Chest
by MastroCaleb
Item On Chest shows, on the front of a chest, the item stack that appears most often in that chest.
What it does
Opening a chest in a game save displays the most frequently occurring item inventory above the front of the chest, so the contents can be read at a glance from outside. The display is drawn only on the client, which exchanges packets with the server while the world runs. Because the environment is client-side only, servers run without it and players alone install it.
Key features
Most common item display
The chest shows the item stack that occurs most often among its contents.
Display above the chest front
The most common stack is drawn above the front face of the chest, where it is visible without opening the chest.
Client-side packet exchange
The mod sends and receives packets to and from the server, while the logic that displays the stack stays on the client.
