Suggestion: REI integration perhaps if you search an item with percent signs at the front and back it will show the item and its recipe but it will also show all items in nearby for example %dir% will highlight all items with the letters "dir" on screen but it will also show all items with those letters on REI, simply put percent signs make REI also render where items are in chests. I think it would be rather cool
this mod is great , thanks for making it.
u can even see your visualized storage through walls and floors which is great.
dont ever change it ;-)
also the rei selection works great for when u dont have the item in your inventory.
hower u cant ask where is it from a open recipe in rei maybe u can look at that. if u want a little point of critisism
In reply to wackoamd:
Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it.
The searching working on the REI recipe screen should be functional now.
Hi, for some reason this does not work with JEI?
In reply to MrPleasant_exe:
Assuming you mean REI (JEI is a forge mod), what doesn't work about it? Does it not trigger a search when you press the key over an REI item?
Can this mod be loaded server-side only without conflicting with vanilla/other clients? I'd like to provide it as an opt-in synchronization for players using Chest Tracker.
In reply to HeckinChloe:
Yeah it can, it won't interact with clients that don't have Where Is It.
Is this compatible with AE2?
In reply to itsDinkd:
Haven't tested AE2 specifically, but it should work with any item that exposes an Inventory.
In reply to JackFred2:
I'm pretty sure AE2 does not for it's internal storage
In reply to SlackSystemTV:
I'll have a look into that then, shouldn't be too large a fix
I'd like to be able to find an item I know I have but do not have in my inventory. Example: I placed a diamond somewhere, but where? I have not one in my inventory so cannot search it. (this is only an example). I tried using the blue-prints window but that did not work. Any ideas/suggestions/possible fix/update?
Edit: Also the mod icon shows a simple green box. I cannot seem to make this happen, all options fixed out still show a completely highlighted and shaded box over the chest/furnace/etc that has the item I'm searching for. (it might be phosphur or sodium, unsure).
ALSO: Everything else, aside from my suggestions/questions works great and I love the mod :)
In reply to rellikpd:
I'd suggest using REI alongside the mod to look for items you dont have on you.
As for the highlights, the icon is an old image; it used to be borders but I swapped this for the box for simplicity's sake in the code.
In reply to JackFred2:
Thanks for the quick reply. I had considered JEI or similar, but was wanting to avoid modding minecraftt as much as possible to stay as "vanilla" as possible whilst still adding some quality of life features. I like the idea of a wire-frame, but I've gotten used to the (as you said) simpler solid overlay, and after turning the time-out time down some it is actually really nice.
I download the mod, but the chest with the item are not highlighted. can someone help me?
In reply to dragonoir4:
Are you using shaders? They currently don't work properly with the highlights.
edit: The mod is also needed on the server to work.
In reply to JackFred2:
Any updates about this being compatible with shaders? I have been looking for this kind of mod for ages.
Do you think you could add a mode that requires specific containers to be "opted in" with a button instead of automatically added to your ChestTracker manifest? Then we could keep track of only containers we wish instead of any we've opened in a radius.
In reply to LexiTehGallade:
This is the Where Is It page, but in ChestTracker there's a toggle in the in-game menu to disable adding of new chests; you can enable it when you wish to remember new containers.
In reply to JackFred2:
My bad I got confused because they both register in mod menu under the same name. (Where is it)
