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.
