ChestPreview

🎯 ChestPreview

Look at a chest to see a list of everything inside it: item icons, names and combined stack counts, without opening it.

⭐ Features:

• A panel lists the contents of the chest you are looking at: item icon, name, stack count and quality level.
• Shows how full the chest is (slots used / total slots) next to its name.
• Identical items are combined into a single row with a total count (can be turned off).
• Sort rows by value, weight or name, ascending or descending, and optionally limit how many rows are shown.
• The panel resizes to fit its contents, and large chests spill into up to 3 columns.
• Clean, semi-transparent black panel using Valheim's own font.
• Only works on chests you are allowed to open, so private chests stay private.
• Hidden while the inventory, menus, console, chat or other text windows are open.
• Only shows player-built chests; world/dungeon loot chests stay a surprise.
