🫳 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
