ChestESP 1.2 - Normal Chests Toggle, Easier Installation, Automated Testing
2024-11-15

This version of ChestESP is available for Minecraft 1.21.3, 1.21.2, 1.21.1 and 1.21.

Changelog

• Added an “Include normal chests” option so you can turn off the ESP on normal chests while still keeping it enabled on other containers. (#5)

• ChestESP now includes ModMenu (v11.0.3 in Fabric 1.21 - 1.21.1, v12.0.0-beta.1 in Fabric 1.21.2 - 1.21.3) so you don’t have to install it separately anymore.

• ChestESP now includes Cloth Config (v15.0.140 in Fabric/NeoForge 1.21 - 1.21.1, v16.0.141 in Fabric/NeoForge 1.21.2 - 1.21.3) so you don’t have to install it separately anymore.

• If you already have a different version of ModMenu or Cloth Config installed (e.g. from a modpack), Fabric/NeoForge will prioritize your version over the one that comes with ChestESP, so you don’t have to worry about version conflicts.

• Added automated testing (in both Fabric and NeoForge versions) to make sure ChestESP keeps working correctly. Every time ChestESP changes or is ported to a new Minecraft version, GitHub Actions will run the mod and take screenshots of chests with various settings. While I still do manual testing too, I can’t possibly check every type of chest in every Minecraft version with every ChestESP setting, so this is a huge help.

• You can view the automated test results in the Actions tab of ChestESP’s GitHub repo (if you’re logged into a GitHub account). You can also run this test on your own computer by adding -Dchestesp.e2eTest to your JVM arguments (the results will appear in your screenshots folder, not on GitHub).

Installation

ChestESP can be installed just like any other Minecraft mod. Follow the instructions below for your modloader of choice.

Important: Always make sure that your modloader and all of your mods are made for the same Minecraft version. Your game will crash if you mix different versions.

Installation using Fabric

1. Install Fabric Loader.

2. Add Fabric API to your mods folder.

3. Add ChestESP to your mods folder.

Installation using NeoForge

1. Install NeoForge.

2. Add ChestESP to your mods folder.

Note: Older ChestESP versions also required that you add Cloth Config and ModMenu to your mods folder. As of ChestESP 1.2, you no longer need to do this.
