ItemSearch: Ctrl+F
Pressing Ctrl+F inside a container opens a small search box that filters the items shown on screen, for chests, barrels, shulker boxes and the player's own inventory in ItemSearch: Ctrl+F.
What it does
Typing into the search box highlights the items whose name matches and dims everything else, so a single item can be found in a packed shulker box or a large chest without scrolling through every slot. The search works in any container screen and in other inventory-style screens. An optional toggle makes the search also check each item's registry ID, such as minecraft:diamond_sword, next to its display name.
The search box can be moved anywhere on the screen, resized, and adjusted with scroll and plus or minus buttons from the settings screen. A dim strength control sets how strongly non-matching items are darkened. The feature can be switched on or off from the Mods list config. ItemSearch: Ctrl+F is client-side only, so only the client needs it and servers run without it. It is released for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 20 release versions, 1.20.1 – 26.1.2, under All rights reserved, and is not open source.
