Search Carefully Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I start searching a chest?
Open any chest as normal. Instead of seeing all items at once, you'll see magnifying glass icons representing hidden items. Click or interact with the chest to begin the search process, and items will reveal themselves one by one over time.
Why do some items take longer to find than others?
The mod assigns rarity tiers to items, and rarer items take significantly longer to reveal during searching. Common items like dirt or saplings appear quickly, while epic or legendary items require more search time.
Can I speed up the searching process?
You can customize search speed through the mod's configuration settings. Some players reduce search times by adjusting the rarity multipliers in the config file, though this changes the tactical balance of the mod.
Does this mod work with modded chests and containers?
Search Carefully applies to most standard containers, but compatibility depends on how other mods implement their chests. Chests from major mods typically work, but some custom containers may not trigger the searching system.
What happens if I close the chest before finishing the search?
Closing the chest interrupts the search, and unrevealed items remain hidden. You'll need to open the chest again and restart the search process to find those items.
Can I customize the search menu sounds and visuals?
Yes, the mod includes customization options for the searching interface. You can modify sound effects and visual appearance through the mod's configuration or in-game settings menu.
Does Search Carefully affect chests I place myself?
The mod primarily affects chests found in generated structures like dungeons, mansions, and temples. Player-placed chests typically function normally without the searching mechanic, depending on your configuration.
Will this mod cause lag or performance issues?
Search Carefully is generally lightweight and shouldn't cause significant performance problems. If you experience lag, check your config settings and consider reducing the number of simultaneous searches or adjusting animation settings.
How do I know what rarity tier an item has?
When an item reveals during searching, it displays its rarity tier (common, uncommon, rare, epic, etc.) in the chest interface. You can also hover over revealed items to see their rarity information.
Can I disable Search Carefully for specific chest types?
Yes, the mod's configuration allows you to whitelist or blacklist specific chest types and structures. You can exclude certain containers from the searching mechanic if you prefer them to work normally.
