About
ChestESP highlights nearby containers through walls, making them easier to spot while exploring. It supports chests, trapped and ender chests, barrels, shulker boxes, decorated pots, chest boats and minecarts, hopper minecarts, hoppers, droppers, dispensers, crafters, furnaces, blast furnaces and smokers. You can choose box highlights, lines or both, set colors for container types, and enable or disable individual types or the mod as a whole; some types are off by default to reduce screen clutter. The mod also works with Lootr chests.

No harmful code found
We checked its files and read their code, without running it.
What it can do on your computer
- Can update itself
- It can add or replace files in your mods folder, for example to update itself. Only in its files for Fabric 1.20.1 to 1.21.10.
- Connects to the internet
- It has code that can go online, for example to check for updates, load skins or send crash reports. Found in the mod's own code, in Cloth Config v20, a library it includes and in Mod Menu, a library it includes. See Privacy
- Creates settings files
- The mod keeps its settings in the config folder of your game, where you can change or delete them. 1 file in your config folder.
Why we show this: a mod runs on your computer like any program, so harmful code in it can take your accounts or files. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade, and a Warning in a latest file for a recent Minecraft version lowers it.
How we checked
- FilesWe download the files from Modrinth or CurseForge and look at what is inside them and what their code can do, without running them. Fixed rules tell what is harmful.28 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. The answer above is about the 16 for recent versions. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks. See each file in Releases
- Their codeWe turn the code of the files back into readable code and follow what it does, without running it. This shows what it downloads, what it sends and where your login goes.Read without running it
- Looked for, not foundWe looked for these in the file and did not find them.Folders outside the game, other programs, the webcam or microphone, an AI service.

Sends system details, usage statistics and unknown data
Sent to api.modrinth.com and an address built while the game runs.
Only some of its files send unknown data.
We found this in its code, read without running it.
Why we show this: a mod can send things about you over the internet, like your player name or your login. Contacting an address to check for updates or download files sends nothing about you. Not in the grade: sending data can be normal for what a mod does.
How we checked
- Files readWe read the code without running it. We list each web address the code contacts while you play, and what it sends. Code that is never used is left out.The code of all 16 files, for recent Minecraft versions. See each file in Releases
- api.modrinth.comChecks for a new version of the mod.From a bundled library.Unknown data
- Address built while the game runsThe code builds this address while the game runs: it is not written in the file.Sends usage statistics.System details (operating system, Java version)
AI
No sign so far that AI was used to make it
We looked for AI tools in its texts, files and images and found none.
We have not read its code history yet.
No sign of AI in the game
We found no AI service, AI library or AI model file in its code.
Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI, and AI in the game can send what you write to an online service. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.
How we checked
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a substantial part of the code is AI output, when an asset is mainly AI output, or when the project or its page relies on generative AI.Not on Modrinth.
