Searchable Containers: Retraversal
by moechakucha
Searchable Containers: Retraversal puts a search bar above an open container, so players can filter the items inside it on the client.
What it does
While a container screen is open, a search bar appears above it, and typing into it filters the items shown. Searching matches only the display name of an item by default, and the search can be switched to include item tooltips through the searchTooltips config option. Right-clicking the search bar clears the current query.
Selected items can be moved quickly between inventories with arrow buttons placed to the right of the search bar. Button tooltips are switched on or off through the config file, while the gap separating the search bar from the interface is adjusted with the verticalPadding entry. Pressing Ctrl + H hides the search bar, and Ctrl + F focuses it again; these keys can be rebound in the options, though Ctrl still has to be held.
The mod runs on the client only, so the server and other players need nothing installed. Files are published for 1.19 and 1.19.1, with 2.0.3 for 1.19.1 as the latest build, and the source code is released under the MIT License.
