About this project
What does Noob's Container Searcher add?
Noob's Container Searcher
Noob's Container Searcher is a client-side Fabric mod that helps you find items inside containers(Villagers are also container!) you have already opened before.
The mod saves container contents locally when you open a physical container such as a chest, double chest, barrel, furnace, shulker box, or other storage block. It does not scan unopened containers, does not reveal hidden inventories, and only searches through data that your client has already seen.
How to Use
- Open a physical container first, such as a chest, barrel, furnace, or shulker box.
- The mod saves the container contents locally after your client sees them.
- Press
Gto open the search GUI. - Search for an item by name, item id, lore, durability, or enchantment.
- Click a result in the GUI to show the matching saved container coordinates and highlight the matching item when you open that container.
You can also search the item in your main hand with Left Shift + S.
All keybinds can be changed from Minecraft's Controls menu under Noob's Container Searcher.

Important Notes
This mod only works with containers you have manually opened before. It does not search the world for unopened containers and does not read server-side inventories that were never shown to your client.
Virtual menus such as server shops, markets, or trader menus are ignored when possible, because the mod is intended for physical storage containers only.
