ItemSearch: Ctrl+F

ItemSearch

Press Ctrl+F inside any container to instantly filter your items.

Tired of scrolling through a packed shulker box or storage chest looking for one item? ItemSearch adds a lightweight Ctrl+F search bar to every container screen — inventory, chests, barrels, shulker boxes, and more — so you can find what you need at a glance.

Features

• Ctrl+F to search — opens a small search box inside any AbstractContainerScreen. Type to filter; matching items stay highlighted, everything else dims.
• Works everywhere — chests, barrels, shulker boxes, your own inventory, and other inventory-style screens.
• Smart Creative Mode handling — on the Survival/Inventory tab, ItemSearch dims your own items just like everywhere else. On the Creative item-palette tabs, ItemSearch stays out of the way so vanilla's own creative search keeps working.
• Match by item ID (optional) — toggle whether the search also checks the item's registry ID (e.g. minecraft:diamond_sword), not just its display name.
• Fully repositionable search box — open the settings screen, then drag the search box anywhere on screen and resize it with scroll or +/- buttons.
• Adjustable dim strength — control how strongly non-matching items are darkened.
• Lightweight & client-side only — no server install required, safe for singleplayer and any multiplayer server.

Controls

Key	Action
Ctrl + F	Open/close the search box (while a container screen is open)
