Chest Item Placeholder

Chest Item Placeholder

Keep item types visible in storage

A quality-of-life mod by Kyler

Chest Item Placeholder keeps a configured number of items in a player-built chest when you transfer a stack. This helps you remember which item types belong in each chest.

W H A T  I S  T H E  M O D

Chest Item Placeholder monitors transfers from player-built chests. If one transfer would take a stack from more than one item to zero, the mod returns the configured reserve to the chest. The default reserve is one item.

If only one item exists, it'll let you take that item out.

The current game routes chest transfers through native code that UE4SS Lua hooks cannot intercept reliably. Chest Item Placeholder observes the completed chest transfer instead.

The mod compares the chest item loss with the local player inventory gain. It returns the reserve only when the same item moves to the local player. It uses the game server inventory transfer function. It does not create replacement items. It does not change item durability or item state data.

The transferred item can appear briefly in the player inventory before the reserve returns to the chest.

  The original LeaveJustOne mod by bburge14 still deserves credit, although this it's own unique implementation, written from scratch. I only built this because the old mod doesn't function properly in the 1. 0 update.

  F A Q

  []Does it support controllers? - Yes. The chest option supports controller focus. The A button and right trigger transfer methods are supported. Sometimes the controller focus on the button won't let you go right back in to the chest, just hit right stick to go back to your inventory, then back in to the chest.[/]

  []Can I take the final item? - Yes. Transfer the reserved single item as a separate action.[/]

  [*]Why does an item briefly appear in my inventory? - The
