Where Is It (Unofficial Port)
by ponuing
With Where Is It, players can search for items across nearby inventories by typing a name, ID, tag, fluid, enchantment or potion.
What it does
The mod lets a player locate items stored in chests and other containers close to them, using a detailed search that matches item IDs, names, item tags, fluid contents, enchantments and potion effects, in any combination. Shulker Boxes that carry a custom name can be added as favourites and searched regardless of what they contain. Pressing Y over an item starts a search for its ID.
Its logic runs on the server, so a server running the mod is enough for search to work. Vanilla clients can join such a server without installing anything, and players who do have the mod can use the whereis command or a changeable default key. Recipe viewers such as JEI, REI and EMI are supported alongside the vanilla Recipe Book. The code is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only. Fabric API and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) are required on Fabric and Quilt, and Just Enough Items, Mod Menu and Roughly Enough Items are optional.
Key features
Nearby inventory search
Items are found across containers near the player, so storage spread over a base can be checked from one search.
Detailed search queries
A single query can combine the item ID, the name, the item tag, the fluid contents, enchantments and potions, so a player can narrow the results with several conditions at once.
Enchanted book and potion search
Enchantments can be searched through enchanted books, and potion effects through potions.
Favourite handling
Named Shulker Boxes can be marked as favourites and searched regardless of their contents.
