About this Mod

curseforge
modrinth

This is a client mod that adds a search bar to all GUIs.
The search bars have a custom texture.

You can control the position of the bar and the texture used for each GUIs in config file.
You can use this mod in your modpacks without crediting me !

A search bar is automatically added to all GUIs (even those from other mods). You can disable the search bar individually, change the texture, or change the position of the search bar for each GUI.

There are maybe some bugs or conflicts with other mods.

Works with JEI, REI and EMI.

Each GUI is added to the config file once it has been opened in-game.

Configs Tutorial :

Hey! This is a quick guide on how to use the config system of the SearchingGUI mod.

  • Where’s the config?

You'll find the config file here:

Modpack/config/searchinggui/config.json

Each GUI you open while using the mod gets automatically added in the config file.

  • What can you change?

For each GUI, you can tweak:

offsetX and offsetY

moves the search bar around (also move the texture)

textureOffsetX and textureOffsetY

moves the background texture (can be useful with custom textures)

texture

choose "default", "default_detached", or a custom texture file like "mytexture.png", the custom texture has to be in Modpack/config/searchinggui/textures/gui/mytexture.png.
With custom texture you have to put the .png extension.

enable

true or false to toggle the search bar for this GUI

Example

"example_gui_id": {

  "offsetX": 0,

  "offsetY": -20,

  "textureOffsetX": 0,

  "textureOffsetY": 0,

  "texture": "default_detached",

  "enable": true

}

This shows the bar 20 pixels above its normal spot with a different background.

That’s it!

You don't need to reload resource packs or restart the game to apply modifications.

Frequently Asked Questions

SearchingGUI server crashes on startup – what to do?

Is SearchingGUI compatible with forge and neoforge?

SearchingGUI officially supports forge, neoforge for Minecraft 1.21.5, 1.21.4, 1.21.3. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with SearchingGUI – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if SearchingGUI consumes the most tick time.
