No more boring vanilla block entities, if any vanilla block has a container that should be visible, this mod will show it's content! (Or if it doesn't it will eventually..)

Inside The Block is a visual-focused mod that reimagines vanilla container blocks by making them 3D, hollow, and interactive. Blocks like the furnace are no longer opaque cubes — you can actually see what’s happening inside them in real time. 

FEATURES (v1.1.0)

  • 3D hollow Blast Furnace and Smoker model
  • Fixed missing textures inside the models
  • Fixed a bug with retrieving the fluid texture that had the game crash in some cases

FEATURES (v1.0.0)

  • 3D hollow Furnace model
  • Items visibly cooking inside the Furnace in real time
  • Fully synced with the Furnace’s internal state
  • Purely visual — no changes to vanilla mechanics

PLANNED FEATURES

  • Support for additional container blocks (Blast Furnace, Smoker, etc.)
  • More detailed item animations
  • Optional configuration settings
  • Compatibility improvements and optimizations

IMPORTANT

  • I really care about my mods! So make sure to comment!
  • Suggestions and feedback are welcome!

Inside The Block focuses on immersion and visual clarity, making Minecraft’s world feel more alive by showing you what normally stays hidden. 

(Technically still Minecraft - just with less mystery inside your blocks!)
