🎯 ChestPreview

Look at a chest to see a list of everything inside it: item icons, names and combined stack counts, without opening it.

A panel lists the contents of the chest you are looking at: item icon, name, stack count and quality level.
Shows how full the chest is (slots used / total slots) next to its name.
Identical items are combined into a single row with a total count (can be turned off).
Sort rows by value, weight or name, ascending or descending, and optionally limit how many rows are shown.
The panel resizes to fit its contents, and large chests spill into up to 3 columns.
Clean, semi-transparent black panel using Valheim's own font.
Only works on chests you are allowed to open, so private chests stay private.
Hidden while the inventory, menus, console, chat or other text windows are open.
Only shows player-built chests; world/dungeon loot chests stay a surprise.

Settings are in BepInEx/config/MagicMike.ChestPreview.cfg (or edit them in r2modman/Gale/Configuration Manager).
