InvSearch

InvSearch - Minecraft storage search

Find any item in your base before your patience despawns.

InvSearch is a fully client-sided Minecraft storage search mod for Fabric and NeoForge that indexes your chests, groups stored items, shows where every result is located, and helps you walk straight to the right container. It works in singleplayer and on multiplayer servers without needing the server to install anything. It includes an in-game storage GUI and an embedded web dashboard hosted directly by Minecraft, so you can search your storage without running a separate web app.

What It Does

Large bases are fun until every chest becomes a mystery box. InvSearch turns your storage room into a searchable inventory network. Open storage around your base, let the mod build its local client-side index, then search by item name, enchantment, or component data to see where everything is stored.

Storage Dashboard

The embedded dashboard shows grouped stored items, item counts, sorting controls, and the current indexed chest total. You can sort stored items alphabetically or by amount, then choose an item to inspect its locations.

In-Game Storage GUI

InvSearch also includes a Minecraft client GUI, so you can browse your storage without leaving the game. Open it with the default I hotkey or /InvS gui, then search items, click results, inspect chest locations, use Locate, adjust settings, and open the community Discord directly from the mod UI.

Typing in the search box still works as a broad search. Clicking a stored item switches to exact item highlighting, so searching for stone can show every matching stored item, then clicking Stone highlights only chests that actually contain Stone. Enchanted and component-based variants stay separated when relevant.

The GUI remembers the active search or selected item when you reopen it. The settings menu also includes a Stored Items range slider, so the stored item grid can show only items from indexed chests near the player when you want a local view of your storage.

Exact Chest Locations

Selecting an item opens its location list. InvSearch shows the chest location, distance from the player, amount stored, enchantment details when relevant, and a Locate action for the exact chest.

The location panel includes a range slider for limiting visible locations, in-world highlights, and locator-bar markers by distance. The Look button turns your player toward the selected target so it is easier to spot.

Highlights And Locator Bar

Search results can highlight matching chests in-world. Matching chests can also appear on Minecraft's locator bar, helping you find storage even from far away. Locate focuses the selected chest, while exact item and variant selection keeps broad searches from lighting up unrelated chests.

How It Works

1. Open storage around your base so InvSearch can build its local client-side index.
2. Search from the in-game GUI, dashboard, commands, or hotkeys.
3. Click an item for exact-item chest highlights, then narrow results with range controls when needed.
4. Follow the highlight, locator bar marker, distance readout, Locate action, or Look button to the right chest.

Commands

• /InvS gui opens the in-game storage GUI.
• /InvS search dirt searches for matching stored items.
• /InvS search dirt! fills the search bar and uses the exact/closest-result suffix behavior.
• /InvS search clear clears the current search.
• /InvS materials highlight highlights chests that contain materials still needed for the current StrutrAape build.
• /InvS materials clear clears the needed-material chest highlight.

Hotkeys

I opens the in-game storage GUI by default. Backspace clears the search by default. Both are grouped under InvSearch in Minecraft's keybind settings.

Community
