StashFinder
by Muhofy
StashFinder helps players locate an item across their storage by indexing chests as they are opened and searching the records from a single keypress.
What it does
Each chest a player opens is recorded silently in the background, so the index builds up during normal play without any setup commands or manual tagging. Searches run entirely on this cached local data, which means they do not scan the world and do not touch the server. Pressing F opens a search by item name, and results appear immediately with the distance and direction to each matching chest, along with a full slot-by-slot preview. Results can be sorted by nearest, most recently indexed, most items or alphabetically.
When a chest is chosen, a 3D waypoint with a floating label appears above it and scales with distance, fading on arrival. An off-screen directional arrow points toward targets that are outside the view. Pressing G opens Chest Records to browse every indexed chest. Chests can be renamed, for example to Weapons or Food Storage, and records are kept separately for the Overworld, Nether and End and saved per world. Recent searches are kept in a history overlay that can be re-applied with one click.
StashFinder is client-side only, so it works on a server without any server-side installation. It is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and is published for Fabric 1.21.11, with files dated from 2026-03-13 and last updated 2026-03-15.

StashFinder automatically indexes every chest you open and lets you instantly search for any item across all your chests — with distance, direction, and a full slot preview. Open a chest → it gets silently recorded. That's it. No setup, no commands, no manual tagging.
