ItemFinder

🔍 Item Finder

Never lose track of your items again.
Item Finder lets you search for any item across all your nearby storage containers: press a key, pick the item, and the mod tells you exactly where it is, highlights it in the world, and guides you there with a particle trail.

📸 Screenshots

✨ Features

🔎 Smart Search

Two search modes:

• Exact pick: click an item icon from the visual grid for a precise match
• Scan All Matches: search by keyword across all containers at once, perfect when you only remember part of a name (type oak to find oak logs, planks, and slabs all at once)

Enter key shortcut: configurable behavior when you press Enter:

• Off: Enter does nothing, use mouse as normal
• Pick first result: instantly scans for the top item in the grid without clicking
• Scan all matches: instantly runs a keyword scan across all containers

Search language toggle: search by English item IDs or your game's display language

🟡 Container Highlighting

• Matching containers get a glowing yellow outline in the world
• Pulse animation (toggleable)
• Auto-fades after a configurable duration

✨ Particle Trail

• Particles stream from your position toward each found container
• The nearest container gets a stronger, brighter trail
• 8 particle types: Flame · Enchant · End Rod · Soul Fire · Witch · Dragon Breath · Portal · Happy Villager

📋 HUD Overlay

• Panel in the top-right corner shows container names and distances while highlights are active
• Shows whether results are from Server (real-time) or Cache (local)
• Disappears automatically when highlights expire

💾 Local Cache (Multiplayer without server mod)

When playing on a server without the mod installed server-side, Item Finder falls back to a local cache:

• Every container you open gets its contents saved locally
• Cache is persistent, data from weeks ago is still remembered
• Each server has its own separate cache file
• Results show how old the data is (e.g. 3d ago) so you know how fresh it is
• A warning is always shown when results come from cache

Confirm / Enter	A (Xbox) / Cross (PlayStation)

🖥️ Server Support

Open to LAN (you are host)	✅	Real-time scan

For server owners: install the mod .jar in your server's mods/ folder. Players who also have the mod will get real-time accurate results. Players without the mod are completely unaffected.

Cache mode note: only containers you have personally opened are searchable. Data may be outdated if others have changed contents since your last visit. A warning is always shown when results come from cache.
