Better Material Lists
by Tomyto
Better Material Lists adds another way to manage schematic material lists, with a new interface for reading and checking off items.
What it does
Players who build from a schematic can open its material list in a clearer screen, scroll through the entries and check off items as they gather them. Progress is saved to files, so checked items remain after leaving the world. The mod is client-side only, so servers run without it and players need only the Fabric loader to use it. Its files cover 1.21.10 – 26.3 and it is released under CC0 1.0 Universal, which places the work in the public domain and makes it open source.
Key features
New material list screen
A new interface displays schematic material lists with a layout that is easier to scroll than the default view.
Checking off items
Entries can be marked as collected, so builders track what remains to gather while working through a schematic.
Saved progress
Checked items are written to files, so progress survives leaving the world or closing the game.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.

What the author says
By using the writting to file function in litematica, you can now access those files in a nice new UI. You can scroll up and down easily, check things off and bring them back. Everything is saved using files, so you dont loose progress when leaving the world or area!
