Chest Tracker Unofficial Port Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I start tracking my chests?
The mod automatically begins tracking items the moment you place them into chests, barrels, or supported custom containers—no setup required. Open your inventory and look for the Chest Tracker button, or use the default keybind to open the search menu and start looking up items you've stored.
What containers does this mod track?
Chest Tracker tracks vanilla chests, barrels, and many modded custom containers out of the box. If a container isn't being tracked, check the mod's configuration file to see if it needs to be manually added to the supported list.
Can I search for items across different dimensions?
Yes, Chest Tracker searches your entire storage network across all dimensions in your world simultaneously. When you search, matching items will be highlighted no matter which dimension their container is in.
How do I use keybinds to search without opening a menu?
Bind a keybind in your controls settings to open the quick search menu, then type the item name directly—you don't need to navigate through your inventory. Press Enter to search and the mod will highlight all matching containers in your loaded chunks.
Why aren't my items showing up in search results?
Items only appear in search results if their container is loaded in memory; chunks far from your player position won't be tracked. Make sure you've actually placed items in the container (the mod doesn't retroactively scan existing storage), and verify the container type is supported.
Can I use this on multiplayer servers?
Yes, Chest Tracker works on vanilla multiplayer servers and Realms because it tracks items entirely on your client side without requiring server plugins. Your search data is stored locally and won't affect other players.
How do item tag filters work?
When searching, you can filter results by item tags (like 'logs' or 'ores') to narrow down large storage rooms instead of searching for individual item names. Type the tag name in the search box to see all items that belong to that category.
Will this mod cause lag or performance issues?
Chest Tracker is designed to be lightweight since it runs client-side, but tracking very large storage networks may use more memory. If you experience slowdowns, try reducing the render distance for highlighted containers or disabling visual effects in the mod's settings.
Does this mod work with other storage mods and item viewers?
Chest Tracker is designed to work alongside popular item viewers and storage mods, though compatibility depends on how those mods handle custom containers. If a specific mod's containers aren't being tracked, check if there's a compatibility patch or configuration option.
How do I clear or reset my tracked item data?
You can delete individual container entries or clear all tracked data through the mod's settings menu. Be aware that clearing data is permanent and you'll need to re-place items in containers for them to be tracked again.
