Punch To Deposit
by Shafif090
Punch To Deposit lets a player left-click a nearby chest or ender chest to deposit held items into it, without opening the container first.
What it does
Holding an item and punching a chest or ender chest moves that item into the container. The action uses the normal inventory interaction the game already provides, so it works in singleplayer and on multiplayer servers alike. Tools, swords, bows and shears are left out, so they stay in the hand.
A floating PUNCH DEPOSIT label appears above chests that are within range, which shows where the action applies. The label and the hover text can each be turned off, and the whole mod can be disabled from its settings. Settings open from the Mods menu through ModMenu, or with the config button in the options screen, and the P key is used in-game to change them.
Punch To Deposit is a Forge mod for 1.8.9 only, published as version 1.0.0. It is client-side only, so servers run without it and players install it alone. The code is under the MIT License and is open source.

How it compares
Smart Storage is a Forge mod for 1.19.2 – 1.20.1, with client and server environment and All rights reserved license, so it does not match this mod's 1.8.9 build. Sophisticated Item Actions covers Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 – 26.3 and is also client and server, under All rights reserved. ChestLabels is client-side only and open source under the MIT License, but it targets 1.20 – 1.21.1 and adds labels rather than a deposit action.
