Storage Radar

Find items across nearby containers with a chunk-based radar and player-only private glow highlighting.

📡 StorageRadar — Never Lose an Item Again!

StorageRadar is a lightweight yet powerful Paper/Spigot plugin that lets you instantly locate any item across all nearby containers — chests, barrels, shulker boxes, furnaces, hoppers, and more. Simply run a command, and matching containers will glow just for you — completely invisible to other players.


🌟 Key Features

🔍 1. Precise Item Search

  • Search by exact item name (e.g., diamond matches only diamond, not diamond_ore)
  • Smart normalization: Search queries automatically resolve spaces and missing underscores (e.g., shulker box or shulkerbox will successfully locate shulker_box)
  • Or simply hold an item and type /find to search for it automatically

📡 2. Chunk-Based Radar System

  • Search radius is measured in chunks, not blocks — giving you precise area control
  • chunk-radius: 01×1 chunk grid (only your current chunk)
  • chunk-radius: 13×3 chunk grid (~48×48 blocks) — DEFAULT
  • chunk-radius: 25×5 chunk grid (~80×80 blocks)
  • chunk-radius: 37×7 chunk grid (~112×112 blocks) — Maximum

✨ 3. Player-Only Glow Highlighting

  • Matching containers glow at their exact location
  • The glow is 100% private — only you can see it, other players are completely unaffected
  • Powered by Paper's native visibility API (no ProtocolLib or client-side mods needed)

⚡ 4. Quick Shortcut (Shift + Clicks)

  • Hold Shift (Sneak key) and click both Left Click and Right Click within 250ms to instantly execute /find on the item in your main hand!

⚡ 5. Async & Performance-Safe

  • Container scanning runs asynchronously in the background — zero server lag
  • Configurable max-results cap to protect performance on large storage rooms
  • Double chests are handled gracefully (highlighted as a whole without counting items twice)

📊 6. bStats Integration

  • Includes anonymous statistics tracking using bStats. You can easily toggle this on or off in the configuration file.
