Super Duper Grabber
by kesevone
Super Duper Grabber lets players pick up a chest, barrel or Iron Chest with a special grabber tool and place it again with its contents intact, without breaking it.
What it does
Grabber tools are crafted in wooden, iron, diamond and double variants. A grabber picks up a chest, trapped chest or barrel and places it elsewhere, so storage can be moved as one unit. The double grabber carries up to two chests at once, which makes moving full storage rooms less tedious. Support covers vanilla chests, trapped chests, barrels and the chests added by Iron Chests.
Carrying a chest applies a slowness effect. The effect is configurable in strength and maximum amplifier, and each grabber type can use different settings, so server owners can tune how heavy a load feels. Settings are edited through Cloth Config API, and Mod Menu gives a settings screen when it is installed. The mod is a Fabric mod for 1.20.1 only, with the latest file 1.0.0 published on 2025-06-30. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Cloth Config API and Fabric API are required; Mod Menu is optional.
