Notes
If Chest Sorting is set to Distance containers are sorted based on distance from the player. Cycling 'forward' opens the next chest farther away than the current open chest. Cycling 'backward', opens the next chest nearer than the open chest. If the farthest or nearest chest is reached, the next open chest will 'loop around', the same as with unsorted chests.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Simple and functional—does exactly what it says with no bloat.
- Mouse wheel and arrow key support means you can cycle without breaking your flow.
- Freshly updated (Sept 2025), so it's likely compatible with current game versions.
⚠️ Cons
- Low endorsement count (62) means it's not widely tested by the community yet.
- UI mods can conflict with other inventory overhauls; no compatibility notes provided.
For players who hate digging through multiple chests to find that one stack of iron. If you're a hoarder with a base full of containers, this saves you time. Skip if you're happy with vanilla inventory management or use a complex sorting mod that might conflict.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Test the cycling with both arrow keys and mouse wheel to see which feels more natural for your playstyle.
- If you use other UI mods, install Cycle Chests last and check for conflicts in your mod manager.
- Remember that the mod only works on nearby chests—make sure you're close enough to the containers you want to cycle through.
