Item Searchbar

By Dev-SebiOwner

No reviews yet

A persistent search bar on every container screen. Matching items get a yellow highlight, everything else dims, and the query survives closing one chest and opening the next.

Description

Item Searchbar

Finding one stack in a wall of double chests means opening each one and reading it. Inventory Search puts a search bar on every container screen: type what you are after, and matching items light up while everything else fades back.

The query sticks around. Close the chest, walk to the next one, open it — the highlights are already there, with no retyping.

Searchbar with "gun" search to find gunpowder

Features

  • Works on every container — player inventory, chests, barrels, shulkers, ender chests, furnaces, anvil, enchanting table, brewing stand, hoppers, dispensers, villager trading, beacon, loom, smithing table, stonecutter, horse inventory, and modded screens built on the same base class.
  • The query persists across screens. It is only cleared when you clear it.
  • Highlights the whole screen, including the player inventory rows below a chest.
  • Search operators — @modid, #tag, !negation, "quoted phrases", and multiple terms ANDed together.
  • Search more than names — registry ids by default, plus optional lore, enchantments and full tooltip text.
  • Fully configurable look — highlight colour and thickness, dim colour and opacity, optional fill, optional pulse, bar at the top or the bottom.
  • No hard dependencies beyond Fabric API. Config is plain JSON, with a /invsearch client command for the common toggles.
  • No server install. The mod never sends a packet.

Query syntax

Input Meaning
stone substring match, case-insensitive
stone brick both terms must match
"stone brick" one exact substring, spaces included
@minecraft only items from that mod
#logs only items in that item tag
!gunpowder exclude matches

An empty query renders the screen exactly like vanilla.

Controls

Key Action
Focus search bar unbound by default, set it under Controls
Clear search unbound by default
Click the bar / the x focus / clear
Esc first press unfocuses, second closes the screen
Enter unfocus, keep the query

While the bar is focused, E types a letter instead of closing the screen. When it is not focused, hotbar keys and shift-click work exactly as in vanilla.

Commands

/invsearch toggle, /invsearch autofocus, /invsearch creative, /invsearch clear, /invsearch reload — all client-side.

Requirements

  • Fabric Loader 0.19.3 or newer
  • Fabric API

Multiplayer

Safe on servers, including vanilla ones. The mod only decorates your own screen and never sends or requires a custom packet.

Notes

  • Settings live in config/invsearch.json; the creative inventory is skipped by default because it has its own search field.
  • Tooltip search is off by default — it is the only expensive matching mode.
  • The query is memory only and does not survive a game restart.
