🧰 Open Inventory & Inspect Gear

Open Inventory & Inspect Gear is a light, simple and powerful mod that lets you open / check / inspect a player’s inventory, inspect their equipment, and interact with their backpack.

Whether you’re an administrator or a player, this mod provides powerful but secure tools:

open a player’s inventory,
open their backpack while standing behind them,
inspect their equipment in read-only, with no possibility of stealing.

Every feature is fully configurable: you can enable or disable commands, show or hide sections (backpack, storage, hotbar, armor, utility), and fine-tune permissions, distance limits, and language localization.

Backpack and inspect commands can target the nearest player by default, or a specific player if specified.
You can also force your player to specify a player via configuration.

✨ Features

✅ Open another player's inventory with a simple command.
🎒 Open a nearby player's backpack from behind.
🛡️ Inspect a player's equipment in read-only (no stealing possible).
🎯 Commands target the nearest player by default, with optional player argument.

👑 Admin command that ignores config and shows everything.
👑 Admins can manage the inventory of offline players
🔄 Reload config without restarting.
🌍 Editable language files: EN / FR / DE / ES / IT / RU / PT / TR / PH (by ChatGPT sorry).
🔐 Permissions per command and per feature.
🚀 Optimized performance & permission handling.

🌍 Language Files

On first launch, the plugin generates lang_EN.json.
Changing the language setting will automatically generate the corresponding file (e.g. lang_FR.json). I’ve used ChatGPT to translate multiple languages in order to improve accessibility. But all messages are fully editable.
