Search Carefully
by Yanbwe
Search Carefully lets players work through containers one step at a time, uncovering their contents gradually in the manner of a tactical search system.
What it does
Items inside a container stay hidden until the player searches them step by step, which gives each chest a short search experience rather than an instant reveal. The system is modeled on tactical search systems from other games, and it applies to loot in containers generated by structures as well as to containers placed by players.
Search duration depends on item rarity, so common items resolve quickly and rarer ones take longer. Textures and sound effects can be replaced for a different look, and most behavior is set through configuration files. The rarity identification system is required, so RarityCore must be installed alongside the mod.
The mod is for Forge only, with the latest file 1201.10.0 for 1.20.1, dated 2026-06-14. Installation covers the server and each player's game. The code is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and the project is open source with public source, issue tracker and wiki links.
Key features
Step-by-step item search
Players search the items within a container one step at a time, and the contents are revealed progressively.
Search time by rarity
Search duration varies by item rarity, so common and rare loot take different amounts of time to uncover.
Loot chest support
The search works with structure loot chests, so containers generated in the world use the same system.
Custom textures and sounds
Textures and sound effects can be customized to change how the search interface and actions look and sound.
Configurable behavior
Search durations and other settings can be adjusted in configuration files to suit a pack or server.
