Super Duper Grabber

🫳 Super Duper Grabber allows players to pick up and place chests using special grabber tools.

It supports both vanilla chests and custom chests from the Iron Chests: Restocked, with configurable slowness effects to balance gameplay. The mod integrates with Cloth Config API for customizable settings and Mod Menu for a user-friendly configuration interface.

You’ll say it’s useless, I’ll say partially yes 🙃, but actually at the beginning of the development phase I thought of presenting this as a vanilla tool that doesn’t break the atmosphere of the game.

The idea itself I borrowed from the mod Chest Transporter (versions up to 1.12.2), consider it a transfer to new versions

⚙️ Usage

Single Grabbers (Wooden, Iron, Diamond):

• Shift + Right-Click on a chest to pick it up.
• Shift + Right-Click on a block to place the grabbed chest.

Double Grabbers:

The mechanics of picking up and placing chests are slightly altered here, as this grabber can grab multiple chests at once.

• Shift + Right-Click on a chest to pick it up (can hold multiple chests).
• Shift + Right-Click on a double chest’s second half while holding a chest to pick it up, or place all held chests if grabber inventory is full.
• Right-Click without Shift on a chest or adjacent block to place a held chest, connecting it to form a double chest if possible.
• Shift + Right-Click on a block next to a chest to place a held chest without connecting it (like placing a chest with Shift).
• Right-Click without Shift on the top of a chest to place a held chest without connecting.
