About this Mod

image Search My Items 🔎✨ Search My Items is a mod that adds a simple (but super immersive) mechanic: you must “search” items inside containers before you can fully access them. Any container that spawns with a loot table will require searching — turning looting into a more realistic scavenging experience 🧰😄By holding torch in your hand or off-hand you can speed up the process of searching, you can also speed it up by having night vision effect applied on yourself.


What does it affect?

This includes all loot-table generated containers, such as:

🧱 Chests in structures (villages, dungeons, temples, etc.)

🪵 Barrels

📦 Any other loot-table based containers supported by your modpack


⚙️ Config Support

The mod comes with a config file, so you can easily tweak the mechanic to fit your project:

🛠️ Adjust how searching works

⏱️ Change difficulty / pacing

🎮 Make it more hardcore or more casual — your choice
