About this Mod

Chest Search

About

This mod adds a search bar to let you search through chest and shulker boxes. It will then highlight with a chosen colour in Mod Menu the items that match what you type. The coolest feature is you can change the colour (if you have modmenu and clothconfig installed to match either your resource pack or how you like to play the game. To do this hit Esc -> Mods -> Search "Chest Search" -> Click Settings -> Change Colour.
