StorageGuide
Players who spend hours searching chests for one item can use StorageGuide, a Fabric mod that turns a storage room into a server-backed, searchable inventory map.
What it does
An operator defines a shared storage wall once, and the server assigns each item type to a chest slot. Every player then follows the same managed layout, so no one has to memorize signs or open random chests to find where quartz is kept. Searching for an item highlights the exact chest that holds it, and the match is shown with a local marker.
The mod suits multiplayer bases, shared storage rooms and survival builds where sorting is not kept up. Packed shulker boxes are routed by their contents and box color, and a default tidy layout keeps new items in place. An optional Big Brother system warns when an item is placed outside its assigned chest. Chest markers stay visible with common Iris shader pipelines such as Photon. Fabric API is required, and Mod Menu is optional for its settings screen. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. It is published for Minecraft 26.1 – 26.2 with four release versions and is open source under the MIT License.
