Overview

Chest Tracker is an essential quality-of-life mod designed to solve the common problem of losing track of items in complex storage systems. Functioning as a client-side memory bank, the mod automatically logs the contents of chests, barrels, shulker boxes, and even ender chests the moment you open them. It then provides a powerful, search-oriented interface—similar to Applied Energistics 2—allowing you to find exactly which container holds a specific item without having to manually check every block.

Because the mod is entirely client-sided, it works seamlessly on vanilla servers, Realms, and modded environments. It does not require any server-side installation, as it simply 'remembers' what your character has seen. This makes it a powerful tool for both survival players and those managing massive automated farms on SMPs or specialized servers like Hypixel Skyblock.
