Inventory Search
by NotStampyC
Inventory Search is a NeoForge technology mod that lets players find items across inventories, containers and entities with a single command.
What it does
A search command looks through a player's inventory for a chosen item. The Inventory Searcher item extends that search to other players' inventories: right-clicking it opens a screen where the wanted item is placed into a slot, and the mod then reports where matching items are held. The same item can be used by punching an entity to search that entity's contents. Client and server both need the mod, and it is published for NeoForge 1.21.8, with the latest file, 1.1.0, dated 2026-06-11. It is not open source and is released under All rights reserved.
