Chest Search
by were491
Chest Search lets players type an item name into a search bar above a chest and see matching slots highlighted in it.
What it does
The mod is a client-side Fabric addition for the 1.18.2 game version. Its search bar appears on chest screens, and a gallery view shows where an item sits across the chest. Only Fabric Loader and Fabric API are needed, and the code is under the MIT License, so it is open source.
It was made for players who want chest searching without opening the full Roughly Enough Items screen. Players who do not want to install Fabric API for other reasons have the same option, since the search works in a chest screen alone. Because the environment is client-side only, servers run without it.
Key features

Searching happens inside the chest screen itself, without opening the full Roughly Enough Items interface.

What the author says
Adds a search bar to chests so you can see where an item is more easily (see gallery?). Only requires fabric loader, fabric api is not necessary. So originally this was made because I thought that Roughly Enough Items didn't have such a feature for this like Just Enough Items did, but as it turns out I just forgot…
