Factory Crate Preview is a direct modern port of the original What’s In My Crate (WIMC) concept for modern Minecraft modding.
It is a lightweight client-side utility that lets you preview stored crate contents directly from inventory tooltips. Instead of placing or opening every crate just to check what is inside, simply hover over a supported crate item and view its stored inventory in a compact tooltip grid. 🔍📋

✨ Features
📦 Preview crate contents directly in item tooltips 🔍 Inspect stored items without placing the crate 🧰 Designed for Immersive Engineering-style crate workflows 🏭 Useful for factories, workshops, storage rooms, and industrial bases ⚡ Lightweight client-side quality-of-life feature 🧱 No new ores, mobs, dimensions, machines, or progression systems 🖥️ No dedicated server requirement 🛠️ Built for a cleaner modern modding environment
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🏭 Why Use It?
Managing many crates can quickly become annoying when you need to place each one just to see what it contains.
Factory Crate Preview helps with:
📦 Sorting storage crates 🔩 Managing industrial materials 🧰 Checking supply containers 🏭 Organizing factory inventories 🚚 Moving crates without losing track of their contents ⛏️ Reducing unnecessary block placement just for inspection
It is simple, focused, and made for players who use crate-heavy industrial storage systems.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔍 How It Works
Hover over a supported crate item in your inventory.
If the crate contains stored items, Factory Crate Preview displays them directly inside the tooltip using a compact inventory-style preview.
No extra menu. No new block. No complicated setup. Just hover and inspect. ✅

🧩 Compatibility
Factory Crate Preview is designed for modern Minecraft with NeoForge.
The mod is focused on Immersive Engineering-style crate behavior and may be expanded to support additional industrial crates or compatible storage containers in future versions.
