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

• Barrels
• Ender Chests

• Brewing Stands
• Lecterns
• Enchanting Tables

Additional modded container blocks may also work automatically through generic container detection.
