ForgeNeoForgeClient-side onlyGNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or laterOpen source1.20.1 – 1.21.1

What it does

The mod changes the Storage Lectern screen once Ars Nouveau is installed, and its features are switched on or off in a client configuration file. Single-row scrolling moves the list one row at a time for more precise browsing, and an optional search bar can take focus as soon as the screen opens or when a key is pressed. Previous search text can also be kept so the quick filter restores it later.

Ars Nouveau is a required dependency and must be present for the addon to load. Since the environment is client-side only, servers do not need the mod, and players who keep it off their clients see the standard Storage Lectern screen. Files exist for Forge and NeoForge on 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, with the 1.0.0 builds as the latest releases, and the code is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later, which makes the project open source. Bug reports and feature suggestions are handled on its GitHub issue tracker.

Key features

  1. Single-row scrolling

    The list scrolls one row at a time, which helps when moving through long storage contents.

  2. Auto-focus search bar

    The search field can be set to take focus when the GUI opens or when a key is pressed, and this behavior is optional.

  3. Saved search content

    An optional setting keeps the previous search text so the quick filter can restore it.

  4. Configurable behavior

    Each addon feature can be adjusted by editing the client configuration file.
