Quality of Queso
by Dillon8775
Quality of Queso is a client-side quality-of-life mod that adds container search, sorting and inventory management tools, with a search bar for inventory and chests.
What it does
The mod groups several inventory conveniences in one package. Container filtering and sorting, locked slots, an item counter and an armor status display help players handle large storage. A search bar finds items inside chests and the player inventory, and a chest search covers containers across the world. Precise inventory management builds on other inventory mods, and smaller additions include removal of fog, bundle and door sounds, and a multi-server config with a blacklist for servers.
Balm, DillonLib, Fabric API and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) are all required, so each one must be installed alongside Quality of Queso. Only the player needs the mod; a server may leave it out. Files target 1.20.1 – 26.3 across Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and snapshot builds are published. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source, though source code is publicly available.
Key features
Container search
A search bar locates items in inventories and chests, with chest searching covering storage beyond the one opened.

Containers can be filtered and sorted, and a sort action can fill stacks on the client.
Locked slots
Chosen inventory slots can be locked so they are not moved or used by accident.
Item counter and armor status

How it compares
More Search Bars is a client-side only Fabric, NeoForge and Quilt mod under the MIT License, open source, for 1.21.9 – 26.2, with a focus on search bars alone. Salt's Inventory Update runs on client and server with Fabric, Forge and NeoForge files for 1.20.1 – 26.3 and is open source under the MIT License. Quality of Queso, by contrast, needs the client, is not open source, and includes sorting, locked slots and counters beyond search.
