Immersive Crate View (WIMC) Mod Porting

📦 Factory Crate Preview

Factory Crate Preview is a direct modern port of the original What’s In My Crate (WIMC) concept for modern Minecraft modding.

It is a lightweight client-side utility that lets you preview stored crate contents directly from inventory tooltips. Instead of placing or opening every crate just to check what is inside, simply hover over a supported crate item and view its stored inventory in a compact tooltip grid. 🔍📋

✨ Features

📦 Preview crate contents directly in item tooltips  
🔍 Inspect stored items without placing the crate  
🧰 Designed for Immersive Engineering-style crate workflows  
🏭 Useful for factories, workshops, storage rooms, and industrial bases  
⚡ Lightweight client-side quality-of-life feature  
🧱 No new ores, mobs, dimensions, machines, or progression systems  
🖥️ No dedicated server requirement  
🛠️ Built for a cleaner modern modding environment  

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🏭 Why Use It?

Managing many crates can quickly become annoying when you need to place each one just to see what it contains.

Factory Crate Preview helps with:

📦 Sorting storage crates  
🔩 Managing industrial materials  
🧰 Checking supply containers  
🏭 Organizing factory inventories  
🚚 Moving crates without losing track of their contents  
⛏️ Reducing unnecessary block placement just for inspection  

It is simple, focused, and made for players who use crate-heavy industrial storage systems.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🔍 How It Works

Hover over a supported crate item in your inventory.

If the crate contains stored items, Factory Crate Preview displays them directly inside the tooltip using a compact inventory-style preview.

No extra menu.  
No new block.  
No complicated setup.  
Just hover and inspect. ✅

🧩 Compatibility

Factory Crate Preview is designed for modern Minecraft with NeoForge.

The mod is focused on Immersive Engineering-style crate behavior and may be expanded to support additional industrial crates or compatible storage containers in future versions.
