No Gui Chest
by StrangeSmell
No Gui Chest removes the chest screen, so chests, hoppers, brewing tables, droppers and dispensers work without opening a menu.
What it does
The mod swaps the standard chest interface for an in-world display, so items are handled through the block itself rather than a pop-up window. Chests, hoppers, brewing tables, droppers and dispensers are covered in the current builds.
Key features
Chest without a GUI
Regular chests work without the usual inventory screen, which gives a more immersive look at stored items.
Hopper and dispenser support
Hoppers, droppers and dispensers are included, so automated item handling runs without a menu.
Oversized item rendering
Large item models such as the Dragon Head are rendered on the block, with a few slots shown on the display.

What the author says
Let's remove the GUI and see something more immersive! When lid is not open, you can right-click the top of the chest to open the lid. Items will appear in the chest! Right click on the item in Chest to swap it with the item in your hand. Right click on the other side to close the lid.
