Packed Chest
by RoxyCoding
Packed Chest lets players pick up a chest or barrel with its contents still inside, then place it again elsewhere.
What it does
Breaking a chest or barrel while sneaking collects it as an item that keeps its contents. Placing that item restores the original block and inventory. Holding Shift while placing a large chest offsets it by one block, which helps when moving double chests. In the inventory, a right-click on a packed chest or barrel reveals what it contains, but those items cannot be taken out from that view. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. It is built for Fabric, with files for 1.21.9 and 1.21.10 and 1.0.1 as the latest file, under the MIT License and open source.

Inspect without moving items
Inspecting a packed chest or barrel through the inventory by right-clicking displays its stored items, yet they stay locked in place.
