About this project
What does Chest Renamer add?
Purpose. Few mods allow you to identify chests in Minecraft. I have implemented my own version of this feature.
Usage. By pressing the R key (the default) while looking at a chest, you can open a menu to assign a name to it. Once the player clicks the "Rename" button, a label displaying the new name appears above the chest.
Compatibility. The mod allows you to name any inventory whose class name contains "chest", "shulker" or "barrel." This works with both vanilla chests and modded chests (verified with Iron Chests).
