About this Mod

Immersive Chests

Immersive Chests is a client-side Minecraft mod that dynamically repositions the camera when interacting with containers and workstations, creating a more grounded and immersive gameplay experience.

Instead of opening GUIs from a static viewpoint, the camera moves relative to the block you are interacting with — supporting directional views, contextual positioning, and immersive workstation interaction.


Features

  • Immersive camera positioning for containers and workstations
  • Context-aware orientation and camera alignment
  • Support for top-down, side-facing, and directional views
  • Stable orientation-relative offset system
  • Configurable camera distance, height, tilt, and behaviour
  • Support for many vanilla and modded container blocks
  • Client-side only

Supported Blocks

  • Chests (single and double)
  • Barrels
  • Ender Chests
  • Shulker Boxes
  • Furnaces, Smokers, Blast Furnaces
  • Crafting Tables
  • Hoppers & Hopper Minecarts
  • Dispensers & Droppers
  • Brewing Stands
  • Lecterns
  • Enchanting Tables
  • Beacons
  • Smithing Tables
  • Stonecutters
  • Looms
  • Cartography Tables
  • Anvils

Additional modded container blocks may also work automatically through generic container detection.

VERSION NOTICE

Please raise an issue on the gitHub page to request a version of the game you play a lot if it is not supported. Anything recent or a specific snapshot I'm happy to work on. I can only support versions that use cloth + fabric loader, sorry guys no alpha releases. I will continue with current releases and any version already out I will continue to support with any updates I make to this mod.
