Storage Container Labels
Storage Container Labels draws floating names above chests, barrels and shulker boxes so players can tell storage apart at a glance.
What it does
The mod displays labels above or around named storage containers such as chests, barrels and shulker boxes. Single chests, double chests and the chest variants each get their own labels, and shulker boxes are covered as well. Each container type can be switched on or off separately, so a player can label only the containers they care about.
Rendering is configurable: the distance at which labels appear, their color, size, opacity, vertical offset, fading and visibility can all be adjusted. The config screen opens through Mod Menu, or by running the storage-container-labels config command in chat. The mod needs Cloth Config API and Fabric API, and Mod Menu is optional for the config screen. It is published for Fabric only, on game versions 26.1 – 26.2, under the MIT License, and the source code is open source.

Use cases
Sorting a large storage base
Players with many containers can name them and read the labels from a distance to find the right one quickly.
Multiplayer storage hubs
Shared chests on a server can be marked with names, and each player can tune how the labels look on their own screen.
Who it’s for: Players who keep many named containers in survival or creative worlds, and players on servers with shared storage that want the names visible.
