Rattlebox

By pinemellonOwner

Look at a chest, barrel, shulker, or ender inventory to preview what’s inside, then search your indexed stash and drop a waypoint on the hit. Live in singleplayer, live on multiplayer when the server runs Rattlebox, or from cache when it doesn’t.

Description

Rattlebox : Know before you open

Shake the box. Skip the rummage.

Rattlebox is a preview-first client utility for storage. Look at a chest or barrel and see what’s inside before you click. Hover a shulker or ender inventory for a content grid. When you’ve lost something in the base, open search, find the item across all of your storage, and follow a waypoint back to the hit.

How modes work

Mode Description What you get
LOCAL Singleplayer / integrated server Live look-at preview and indexing from the local world
Multiplayer with server mod Multiplayer with Rattlebox on the server (successful handshake) Live sync within supported range
Multiplayer without server mod Multiplayer without the server mod, or after handshake timeout Index by opening containers; search uses what you last saw

On a normal SMP that doesn’t install Rattlebox server-side, expect CACHED: open the chest once, close it, then search finds what you remembered. That’s intentional, not a broken live sync.

Controls

  • H — open stash search
  • J — toggle look-at / overlay preview

Keybinds are remappable in Controls. You can change the mod setting by pressing H and clicking on gear icon from top right

Requirements

  • Fabric builds need Fabric API for the matching Minecraft version

Supported for 1.0.0

Minecraft Fabric NeoForge
26.2 Yes Yes
1.21.1 Yes —

Honest notes

  • Preview and search cover supported storage (chests, barrels, shulkers, ender, and similar container items as implemented), not every block in the game.
  • CACHED multiplayer only knows containers you’ve opened (or otherwise indexed) since the cache was built.
  • Rattlebox pairs fine with general HUDs like Jade; it does not replace them.
