What it does

The mod adds a search bar to chest screens, so a player can find an item stored in a chest without opening and checking every slot. Chest Search is client-side only, so only the player's client needs it and servers run without it. It requires HalpLibe 5.2.4 or newer, and the mod is published for Babric on b1.7.3 with snapshot builds included.

Key features

  1. Chest search bar

    A search bar on chest screens filters the visible items as the player types, making a specific stack easier to locate.

  2. Configurable options

    Settings for the mod appear in a Chest Search category inside the game settings menu.

  3. Modified Babric base

    The mod uses a heavily modified version of Fabric Babric, derived from Better Adventure, to run on b1.7.3.

How it compares

Full comparison

Sort Chest is client-side only, open source under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, and published for Babric on b1.7.3, so it sorts stored items rather than searching them. Melrose Extended Chests is open source under the MIT License and needs both the server and every player, because it runs as a client and server mod on b1.7.3.
