BetterPeek

See what's inside, without opening anything.

BetterPeek adds a tiny preview window that shows the contents of any chest, barrel, hopper, dropper, dispenser or shulker box. Aim at it, glance at the preview, move on. No more cracking open ten chests to find that one diamond.

What you get

• World containers — once you've opened a container, BetterPeek remembers what's inside. The next time you look at it, you see the contents floating in the corner of your screen.
• Shulker boxes in your inventory — hover a shulker box item in any GUI (your inventory, a chest, the creative menu) and the preview appears next to your cursor. Works on every server, every time — shulker contents travel with the item.
• One key to toggle — press V to turn the preview on or off. Configurable in Options → Controls → BetterPeek.
• Zero server install — fully client-side. Works on vanilla, Spigot, Paper, Fabric, Realms, anything.
• Light on resources — detectors are reused frame-to-frame, no garbage in the render path.

Requirements

• Minecraft 1.21.11
• Fabric Loader 0.18.4 or newer

• Java 21
