Search on MCMOD
by bling-yshs
With the cursor over an item in the inventory, an item list or any item display, pressing B opens that item's page on mcmod.cn for Search on MCMOD.
What it does
Search on MCMOD works in any part of the interface that shows item information, including the item bar and item lists added by other interface mods. Hovering over an item and pressing the B key (changeable in the settings) opens the item's information page on mcmod.cn in a browser. When no direct page exists for the item, the mod runs a search on mcmod.cn for its name instead.
The mod is client-side only, so only the player's client needs it and a server can run without it. It is released under the MIT License and is open source, with public source code and an issue tracker. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and the release range covers 1.7.10 – 26.1.2 across 32 game versions. The latest builds are 0.1.0 for 26.1.2 on Fabric and NeoForge and 0.1.0 for 1.20.6 on Forge, all dated 2026-06-14.
