quiet-unboxing plugin

Quietly is a server-side silent container opening mod, supporting Minecraft 1.21.1 – 1.21.10, and both Fabric and NeoForge.

Its goal is simple:

• Allow players to start silent container opening by Shift + right‑click once (click, not hold)

• Show opening progress with a Boss Bar

• Keep the container animation

• Do not play the vanilla container open/close sounds

• Do not trigger vanilla CONTAINER_OPEN / CONTAINER_CLOSE Sculk Sensor events

Features

• Server‑side driven – the mod must be installed on the server; client installation is optional

• A universal silent‑opening process for all containers that have an inventory GUI

• Opening time is calculated based on the number of different item types inside the container

• Preserves animations for chests, barrels, ender chests, shulker boxes, etc.

• Silences the vanilla container open/close sounds

• Blocks the associated vanilla Sculk Sensor events

• Built‑in English and Chinese localization

How to use

1. Look at a container that has an inventory GUI.

2. Hold Shift (sneak).

3. Right‑click once with your main hand to start the silent opening process.

4. Keep sneaking until the Boss Bar is fully filled.

5. The container will then open silently.

Current behaviour

• Trigger: only with the main hand, Shift + one right‑click

• Must keep sneaking during the entire opening process

• Releasing sneak, walking out of range, or opening another interface will cancel the process

• Opening speed formula: 12 + (number of different item types) * 4 ticks

• “Different item types” means unique item entries in non‑empty slots, not stack counts

Supported containers

• Any generic container that provides an inventory GUI

• Vanilla containers with special animations and silent‑handling:

  • Chest / Trapped Chest

  • Barrel

  • Ender Chest

  • Shulker Box

• Other GUI blocks (furnace, crafting table, hopper, etc.) also support the silent‑opening logic
