Mod that adds container searching system, to improve minecraft's looting expirience
About this Mod
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
