Minestats
by Emalios
Minestats is a NeoForge utility that tracks how many items each registered inventory block produces and consumes per second, for players running item automation.
What it does
A Monitor container block is used together with a Recorder Item. Players register a chest, trapped chest, barrel or other modded inventory block with the recorder, and that block then feeds figures into the statistics system. Once registered, the block is scanned periodically and produces detailed figures such as items produced per second and items consumed per second.
The mod is meant for players who build and tune factories, warehouses and complex automation, and for those who simply like to see numbers. Both technical and casual players can use it. Minestats needs no other mod and runs on client and server. Files exist for 1.21.1 only, with 0.0.5 as the latest NeoForge file. The code is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later, so the project is open source.
Key features
Monitor container block
A Monitor block reads the contents of linked containers and shows how the inventory changes over time.
Recorder Item registration
The Recorder Item adds or removes a chest, barrel or other modded inventory block as a tracked source.
Per-second production stats
Registered blocks report items produced and consumed per second, giving a live view of factory output.
Periodic scanning
Monitored blocks are scanned at regular intervals, so the statistics update without manual checks.

Use cases

Watching storage
A player can track how quickly a storage room fills or empties before it overflows.
Who it’s for: Players who automate item production, server owners who want to measure their factories, and casual players who enjoy statistics.
How it compares
CompactMachinesPOR is a NeoForge mod for 1.21.1 that is client and server and open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, but it packs machines into compact blocks rather than reporting statistics. Mechanical Factory is also NeoForge only for 1.21.1, with the MIT License, and it adds factory machinery instead of tracking inventory rates.
