Bring your inventory into the world
Tangible UI turns supported Minecraft container screens into interactive panels anchored beside the blocks that use them. Open a chest, furnace, crafting table, or workstation and keep moving and looking around while its inventory remains in the world.
### Features
- World-space panels with opening and closing animations
- Vanilla-inspired and holographic visual themes, switchable in-game
- Multiple panels can stay open at once; panels hide with distance and return when you come back
- Slot hovering, item pickup and placement, drag distribution, double-click collection, shift-click transfer, and supported keyboard shortcuts
- Drag items between open panels with the server validating both containers and slots
- Creative middle-click cloning and middle-drag filling
- Furnace, brewing, enchanting, recipe, anvil, and beacon controls use their actual menu behavior
- Inventory actions are processed and validated by the server
- Adjustable panel size, animation duration, auto-hide distance, and holographic glow
