About this Mod

Always Open Chest removes the vanilla block-above restriction for storage blocks, so you can open chests, ender chests, and shulker boxes even when something is placed on top of them.

This is a lightweight Fabric mod for 1.20-1.21.11 that keeps vanilla behavior intact everywhere else. It just makes storage setups less annoying, especially in compact builds, redstone rooms, and tightly packed bases.
