Noob's Container Searcher
by noobfly
Noob's Container Searcher lets a client search the contents of storage blocks it has already opened, using a G-key search screen.
What it does
The mod keeps a local record of container contents after the client sees them. A query can target an item's display name, its registry id, its lore text, remaining durability, or the enchantments on it, and selecting a hit shows the coordinates of each saved container that holds it, with that item outlined. Physical storage such as chests, double chests, barrels, furnaces and shulker boxes is covered, and the record is only as current as the last time each container was opened.
Because the data lives on the client, the mod is client-side only: a server does not need it, and players join without installing anything on the server. It is published for Fabric and NeoForge across nine release versions, 1.21.1 – 26.3, and its source code is public while the license is All rights reserved, so the code is not open source. Searches cover only containers opened before, so unopened chests and virtual menus such as shops and trader screens stay out of the results.
Key features
Saved container contents
Contents of chests, barrels, furnaces and shulker boxes are stored locally after they have been viewed.
Search by several fields
One search box covers display name, registry id, lore, durability and enchantments, so a single query can cover several of these at once.
Result highlighting
Clicking a result shows the saved coordinates of the container and highlights the matching item.
Item finder
A quick search for the item held in the main hand is bound to Left Alt + R.
