Container Indexer
by crxzy3882
Container Indexer lets a player search the inventories of nearby chests and other containers for an item by name, then pull it straight to the player.
What it does
A search window opens with the K key by default. The player types an item name, such as diamond, and presses Search. Matching is case-insensitive and also checks item IDs. Results list each container that holds the item, with counts and coordinates, so the player can see where the stack is before walking over.
Source filters are checkboxes on the Containers list. Each container type can be included or excluded from the scan, and those choices are kept across restarts in a small client config file. Minecart containers, including Chest Minecart and Hopper Minecart, are covered by the scan. Clicking a result highlights its container and transfers the item into the inventory, with an optional preference for enchanted items.
The mod is a client-side utility for Fabric 1.21.11 only. Players join a world or server with it installed; the server needs nothing. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Its public issue tracker is the only linked project resource.

How it compares
Auto Sorting Machine is an MIT-licensed Fabric mod for 1.21.11 that needs both client and server, so it cannot be added on the client alone.

Basic Chest Search is open source under the MIT License, but it targets 1.21.9 – 1.21.10 instead of 1.21.11.
