Quick Container Insert
by armaninyow
Quick Container Insert lets a player push items from the main hand into a nearby container without opening its screen, by holding the interact key while looking at it.
What it does
Holding an item and interacting with a supported container deposits one item directly, bypassing the GUI entirely. Holding the interaction keys keeps transferring items continuously, after an initial delay, at a configurable transfer speed. Supported containers include barrels, chests, trapped chests, ender chests, hoppers, droppers, dispensers, shulker boxes, furnaces, blast furnaces, smokers, brewing stands, decorated pots, and chest-carrying boats, rafts and minecarts.
Smart slot routing sends fuel to the fuel slot of furnaces and brewing stands, Blaze Powder to the fuel slot of brewing stands, bottles to their bottle slots and ingredients to the ingredient slot. When a container is full or refuses an item, a red message fades above the hotbar and a failure animation plays. The mod is licensed under CC0 1.0 Universal and is open source; its source code and issue tracker are public. Files are published for Fabric only, for 1.21 – 26.2 across 16 release versions, with 2.1.0 for 26.2 as the latest file.
Installation requires Fabric API, Cloth Config API for 1.21.x builds and YetAnotherConfigLib for 26.x builds. Mod Menu is optional and allows the animation toggles and transfer speed settings to be changed in game. Some functions run on both the client and the server, so the mod must be installed on both sides for them to work.
