Inv Search Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I start using this mod?
Open any storage container (chest, barrel, etc.) in your world and the mod will automatically begin indexing it. Once you've opened a few containers around your base, use the in-game search menu (default keybind) to search for items by name.
Do I need to set up anything on the server?
No, the mod runs entirely on your client side, so it works in singleplayer and on any multiplayer server without any server-side installation or configuration needed.
How do I access the web dashboard?
The mod hosts a local web dashboard on your machine while the game is running; check the mod's settings or in-game menu for the localhost address and port to open it in your browser.
Why can't I find an item I know I have?
The mod only indexes containers you've personally opened during your current session; if the item is in a chest you haven't opened yet, open that container to add it to the index.
What happens to my index if I close the game?
Your index is saved locally, so it persists between game sessions; however, if you move or reorganize your storage, you should re-open those containers to update the index with their new contents.
Can I search for partial item names?
Yes, the search function supports partial text matching, so typing 'iron' will find iron ore, iron ingots, iron blocks, and similar items.
Does the highlight feature work through walls?
The mod highlights matching chests and shows distance markers on your locator bar, allowing you to navigate to them even if they're not directly visible; the 'Look' button will also turn your view toward the selected container.
Will this mod cause lag or performance issues?
The mod is designed to be lightweight since it runs client-side and only indexes containers you open; performance impact should be minimal even with large bases.
Can I use this mod with other inventory or storage mods?
The mod indexes standard Minecraft containers and most modded storage blocks, but compatibility depends on how those mods implement their containers; check the mod documentation or community forums for specific mod compatibility.
How do I clear or reset my index?
Check the mod's settings menu for an option to clear the index; you can then re-open your containers to rebuild it from scratch if needed.
