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

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.

Immersive Chests server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (26.1.2). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Server lagging with Immersive Chests – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Immersive Chests consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
