⚠️ Common Mistakes

Installing without checking requirements

👍 Pros

Huge community trust with 1,257 endorsements and 215k downloads — clearly a go-to for many players.
Saves time by showing container contents at a glance, no more opening empty boxes.
MCM and JSON configs give you control over what gets labeled and how.

👎 Cons

Only works for nearby containers — you'll still need to get close to see the label.
Requires MCM and JSON knowledge for full customization, which might be overkill for casual players.
