InvSearch

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 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.

When StrutrAape is installed, the GUI can also show needed build materials under your stored items, making it easier to compare what your build still needs with what you already have in 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 button for the exact chest.

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. When you press Locate, old highlights are cleared so the selected chest is easier to identify.
