About this project

What does Chest Radar add?

Banner

I made this mod because I was tired of opening 40 chests to find my diamonds. Chest Radar remembers every chest, barrel and placed shulker box you open, so when you ask "where did I put the diamonds" you actually get an answer : which container, how many, and how far.

Main grid
Its fully client-side. Nothing to install on the server, no packet sent, the mod just writes down what your client already saw when you opened a container. The downside is pretty simple : a chest you never opened, the radar doesnt know about it.

It works with custom server items too (names, lore, datapack enchants), they are recorded exactly like your client got them. So a "Void Sword" with three lines of lore can be found by any of those words.

Find Anything

  • G opens the radar : everything indexed around you, in a grid or a list, sorted by name, quantity or distance.
  • R searches the item in your hand, or the one under your cursor in a container. Results go in the chat with coords and distance.
  • Click an item and the mod takes you there : the container gets outlined through walls with its name and quantity, and a compass stays on screen until you arrive.

Compass + Located Container(s)

The search bar understands a bit more than just text :

Term Matches
diamond name, id, enchants
-pickaxe excludes
"void sword" exact phrase
ench:sharpness / id:iron_ingot / lore:sold by enchant, id or lore
in:base / kind:barrel / dim:nether by container name, type or dimension
>64 / m:32 / d:7 by quantity, distance or age

In game

  • Preview : look at a container you already opened and its content shows next to your crosshair, without opening it (in Jade if you have it).
  • Changes : when you close a chest you already knew, the chat tells you what moved since your last visit. Honestly its the feature I use the most.
  • Shulkers and bundles : whats inside counts as the actual items, so a shulker full of iron counts as iron.

What's inside with Jade

Plan & Collect

  • Pins : middle click to pin an item, Shift + middle click to give it a target.
  • Craft planner : pick a recipe and you see what you have on you, what's in your chests and whats missing.
  • Collection route : one trip through all the chests you need, nearest first, with each stop shown above your hotbar.

Craft planner

Good to knowwwwwIs it a cheat ? It only records what your client was already shown. But the highlight draws through walls, and some servers see that as ESP no matter where the data comes from. If your not sure, turn the highlight off (theres a keybind for that) or just ask your staff.

A chest is missing ? Either you never opened it, its outside your search radius, or its in another dimension. Every line shows how old it is, because the radar only knows what was inside the last time you opened it.

Everything can be turned off, and every setting explains what it does. Your data is in config/aeternum/chestradar.json (settings and pins) and aeternum/chestradar/ (one index per world or server).

Needs Fabric API. Works with ModMenu, Jade and Arpenteur if you have them.

Thats it, if you find a bug or something feels off let me know :)
