ChestTrack
by Galaxxx
ChestTrack is a NeoForge utility that finds chests holding a chosen item by lighting them up with glowing particles, so players do not have to open each one.
What it does
A proximity radar scans the inventories near the player and marks any chest that contains the item being searched for. The marked chests glow with particles, which makes it quicker to locate resources spread across a large storage setup. The search covers chests within range rather than the whole world, and it works alongside the blocks and inventories added by other mods.
The item to find is set in one of two ways. The Search Item slot accepts a stack placed into it, while the Search ID field takes a technical ID such as minecraft:diamond. Because the mod reads Minecraft's technical IDs, a full ID with its namespace is needed for the radar to start; a short name will not do. Players can press F3+H in game to show advanced tooltips and read the IDs of items.
ChestTrack is published for NeoForge only, with 4 release versions covering 1.21.8 – 1.21.11. Players add it to their own game, and a server needs no copy. The code is not open source; the mod is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Proximity radar
The radar scans nearby inventories and triggers glowing particles over every chest that holds the sought-after item.
Search Item slot
Placing a stack in the search slot starts detection for that item without typing anything.
Search ID field
A technical ID such as minecraft:apple can be entered by hand to begin the same detection.
Visual signal
Chests containing the target item stand out with glow particles, so the search is seen at a glance across a storage room.

Use cases
Locating resources in large storage
A player with many chests can start a search and see which ones hold the needed item, rather than opening each chest in turn.
Who it’s for: Players with large chest networks or storage rooms who want to find a specific item quickly. Players who run a storage setup filled by other mods will also find it useful.
How it compares
Where It Belongs is NeoForge and client and server, open source under the MIT License, with files for 1.21.1. Inventory Storages is also client and server, but runs on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 1.21.1 – 26.3 under All rights reserved. ChestTrack, by contrast, is client-side only and covers 1.21.8 – 1.21.11 on NeoForge alone.
