Chest Tracker

by JackFred

With Chest Tracker, a player can search every container they have opened and find out which chest holds a given item, all from a client-side GUI.

FabricQuiltClient-side onlyGNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 onlyOpen source1.16.2 – 1.21.4

What it does

Chest Tracker keeps a record of item contents on the client. Contents are saved locally, so the record works on Realms and multiplayer servers as well as single-player worlds. Pressing Y opens a search, and the GRAVE key opens the main GUI, where clicking an item searches for it in the current dimension. A search bar with several filters narrows the results.

The mod is client-side only, so it needs nothing on a server. It requires Fabric API and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL), and it bundles Searchables and Where Is It. Chest Tracker is published for Fabric and Quilt across 26 release versions, 1.16.2 – 1.21.4, and snapshot builds are published as well. The code is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only. Development of the 1.x line has stopped, and Chest Tracker 2.0 is in progress.

Key features

  1. Client-side item memory

    Containers the player opens are recorded on the client, so the search covers them later.

  2. Main search GUI

    A dedicated screen opens with a key and lists items; clicking one searches the current dimension for it.

  3. Search filters

    A search bar and several filters let the player narrow results to the items they need.

  4. Container name display

    Custom names of containers are shown in the world, and the option can be turned off in the Memory Bank Settings.

  5. Recipe viewer and tooltip integration

    Where Is It connects the search to REI, JEI and EMI, and Shulker Box Tooltip and WTHIT or Jade can show container contents.

Use cases

Finding items across a large base

A player with many storage chests in one dimension can locate a specific item without opening each container.

Playing on a multiplayer server

Because the record is kept on the client, a player on a server or Realm gets the same search without any server install.

Who it’s for: Players who keep many containers in survival or multiplayer worlds and want to search their contents without visiting each one. Server owners need nothing installed, since only the client runs the mod.

Questions

Does Chest Tracker need to be installed on the server?

No. Only the player's game needs it, and servers run without it.

Which loaders does Chest Tracker support?

Chest Tracker is published for Fabric and Quilt. Fabric API is required on Fabric, and the latest file for both loaders targets 1.21.4.

Why does Chest Tracker need YetAnotherConfigLib?

YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) is a required dependency, so it must be installed alongside Chest Tracker for the mod to start.
