What it does

Chest Radar is a lightweight visual tool for finding items held in storage. Pressing Y while holding an item highlights the containers within range that contain it, with the count shown as text above each one. The text outline changes color depending on how many items a container holds, and delta readouts show how items enter or leave a container as its contents change.

The mod works with vanilla containers, including chests, barrels, shulker boxes and crafters. Its settings can be adjusted in detail, and Cloth Config API provides the configuration screen. Chest Radar is released under the Apache License 2.0, and its source code and issue tracker are public. Files are published for Fabric only, for 1.21.11 only, with version 1.1.1 as the latest file. It requires Fabric API and Cloth Config API, and Mod Menu is strongly recommended to reach the settings.

In multiplayer, the mod has to be installed on both the server and the client to work. If only one side has it, its functions stay disabled. Chest Radar runs on client and server, so both sides need it.

What the author says

Organizing your chests can be very time-consuming, especially in the late-game. This mod fixes that. It's just as simple as pressing 'Y'. * Multiplayer Note: If you want to play on a server or LAN with Chest Radar, it must be first installed on the server and client.
