Show Container Contents

This is a simple quality of life mod that lets you see the contents of a container, as well as its remaining capacity in the interact hover text.

You can configure the following:

• []Maximum entries to show - default -1, meaning unlimited

  []Sort type - Name, Value, or Weight - default Value

  []Sort ascending - default false

  []Entry text - default <color=#AAAAAAFF>{0} {1}</color> ({0} is replaced by the amount and {1} is replaced by the item name)

  []Overflow text - if more items than max entries - default <color=#AAAAAAFF>...</color>

  []Capacity text - default <color=#FFFFAAFF> {0}/{1}</color> ({0} is replaced by the slots used and {1} is replaced by total slots)

Colors are RRGGBBAA hexadecimal (Alpha doesn't seem to do anything). For example, to get the colors in the first screenshot:

EntryText = <color=#FFFFAAFF>{0}</color> <color=#AAFFAAFF>{1}</color>

Apparently if you use BetterUI, you need to set the following in the BetterUI config file:

chestHasRoomStyle = 0
