Chest Searchbar Forge
Chest Searchbar Forge puts a search field on chest screens, so players can find items in storage by typing their names.
What it does
Players open a chest and type into a search bar to filter the items it holds. The bar is for chest screens only, and the mod runs on the client alone, so a server does not need it. Files target Forge for 1.12.2 and 1.16.5, with 1.0 for 1.16.5 as the latest build, first published on 2025-12-14 and last updated on 2026-01-04.
The author notes that a NeoForge version is considered, and states that ports to other game versions are not planned, so requests for another version go to the author. The code is released under the Apache License 2.0, but the project is not open source.
Key features
Item search in chests
Typing in the bar filters the chest contents, so a single item can be located without scanning each slot.
Chest screen integration
The search field appears on chest screens and does not change how items are stored or moved.
Client-side operation
Only the player's client runs the search, so it can be added to a single-player or multiplayer client without server changes.
