Flashback Containers
An addon for Flashback that records the containers you open (chests, furnaces, crafting tables, your own inventory...) and shows them in the replay.
Flashback does not record open containers, so in a replay you only see the player standing in front of a chest. With this addon, when the camera is in first person as the recording player, the container window appears on screen just like it did in the game, with the items moving as they were moved.
Features
- Any container. Chests, barrels, shulker boxes, furnaces, anvils, crafting tables, hoppers and every other container with a vanilla-style screen, including your own inventory (E).
- Looks exactly like the game. The addon uses the real vanilla screens, so textures, titles and resource packs are the same as when you played.
- Progress bars and indicators. Furnace flame and arrow, brewing stand bubbles, enchantment costs, anvil cost, beacon level and so on.
- Recorded mouse. The slot under the mouse is highlighted and the item held on the cursor follows it, smoothly between ticks.
- Item animation. Items fly between slots when they are moved. With the mouse shown, only moves that don't go through the cursor fly (shift-click, number keys), the rest is shown by the cursor itself.
- Item tooltips (optional): name and lore of the item under the recorded mouse.
- Works with seeking, pausing and exporting. The window follows the timeline and is drawn together with the hotbar, so the "Hotbar" option in the editor and "No GUI" in the export also hide it.
- Safe for your replays. Replays recorded with the addon still open normally without it, Flashback just skips the extra data.
- Translated into 18 languages.
Settings
- In the Flashback editor: Containers in the top menu bar opens a small window, which can be docked as a tab next to the other editor windows.
- In Mod Menu, if it is installed.
| Setting | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Show mouse | on | Slot highlight and the item held on the cursor |
| Animate items | on | Items fly between slots |
| Show item tooltips | off | Tooltip of the item under the mouse (needs "Show mouse") |
Settings only change how replays are drawn, everything is always recorded.
They are stored in config/flashback_containers.json.
Limitations
- Only the recording player's containers are known. They are shown when the camera is in first person as that player.
- Not recorded yet: the creative inventory, horse/llama inventories, lectern.
Known issues
- Stonecutter: the grid of possible results is empty. Flashback doesn't record the recipe list the server sends, so the replay doesn't know which recipes the server had.
