Description

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

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.
