ChestAtlas
If you have ever spent twenty minutes digging through a wall of identical double chests searching for a single stack of iron ingots, you know the pain. Minecraft's storage systems are notoriously chaotic, and the larger your base grows, the harder it becomes to remember where you put that enchanted bow or that stack of netherite blocks. ChestAtlas is a client-side mod that solves this problem permanently by quietly indexing every container you interact with and giving you a powerful, searchable database of everything you have ever stored.
What Is ChestAtlas for Minecraft?
ChestAtlas for Minecraft is a fully client-side utility mod that remembers the contents of every chest, barrel, shulker box, trapped chest, and ender chest you open. It captures not just the item names but also their enchantments, lore, custom names, and attributes. The moment you close a container, ChestAtlas logs its contents into a local database tied to your current world or server. There is no server-side installation required, no permissions to request, and it works on any server, whether vanilla or heavily modded.
The mod is designed to be completely unobtrusive. It runs in the background, requires zero configuration to start working, and only tracks what you have personally seen. This makes it safe for multiplayer environments where server owners might be wary of mods that scan the world. ChestAtlas only knows what you already know, so there are no unfair advantages or hidden exploits.
Instant Search Across Every Container
Press the default hotkey (K) to open the search screen, type the name of an item, an item ID, or even an enchantment, and ChestAtlas instantly displays every matching result across every container you have ever opened. The results are sorted by relevance, distance, or time, and you can click any column header to re-sort the list. The interface includes a real, draggable scrollbar and a resizable row count that adapts to your GUI scale, so the window never gets cut off on smaller screens.
Search by Enchantment, Lore, or Custom Name
One of the most powerful features is the ability to search by enchantment. Typing "sharpness" will return every sword or tool that has the Sharpness enchantment at any level, even if the item's name does not mention it. You can also search by lore text, custom item names, or item IDs. Hovering over any result displays the exact vanilla tooltip, complete with enchantment glints and attribute modifiers, so you know precisely what you are looking at before you travel across your base to retrieve it.
Filter and Navigate Results
Results can be filtered by dimension, so you can quickly narrow down whether an item is in the Overworld, the Nether, the End, or your ender chest. A distinct purple breadcrumb line shows the nesting path when an item is tucked inside a shulker box or bundle inside another container, such as Barrel to Purple Shulker Box to Dirt Block. This makes it easy to understand exactly where an item is located, even when it is buried several layers deep.
Guided Navigation Back to Your Items
Clicking a search result starts tracking that container. ChestAtlas then displays a compass-style HUD with live direction and distance to the container. If the container is in another dimension, the HUD tells you which one. A guide beam is rendered in the world, pointing the way, and the target container glows in a rectangular outline so you can spot it from a distance. When you open the container, the exact slot holding your item is highlighted. If the item is no longer there, ChestAtlas tells you directly inside the container GUI, so you are never left wondering. The waypoint clears automatically once you arrive, and this behavior can be toggled off in the settings.
Automatic Logging with Full Control
ChestAtlas requires no setup. Every container you open is logged the instant you close it. It works with chests, trapped chests, barrels, shulker boxes of all colors, ender chests, and most modded storage blocks, because it relies on Minecraft's own item and container-menu systems rather than a hardcoded list. It also recurses into shulker boxes and bundles sitting inside other containers, so nothing is ever missed. Ender chests are tracked as a single shared entry, since they represent the same inventory everywhere.
Blacklists for a Cleaner Search
If you do not want every barrel of cobblestone cluttering your results, ChestAtlas offers three independent blacklists managed from the Settings screen. The item blacklist lets you search through every item in the game and toggle any of them off with one click. The container type blacklist excludes entire container types, such as barrels, while still tracking chests and shulker boxes. The specific container blacklist allows you to exclude one exact container without affecting its type, by holding a rebindable hotkey and clicking the container in the world. You can review or undo any of these choices later.
Privacy and Data Storage
Everything ChestAtlas remembers is stored locally on your own PC, per world for singleplayer or per server for multiplayer. Nothing is ever sent anywhere. Renaming a singleplayer save or changing a server's address starts a fresh index for that world. Stale entries are automatically detected and cleaned up if a container is destroyed or replaced, so your index stays accurate over time.
Compatibility and Localization
ChestAtlas is fully localized into English, German, French, Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese, and it automatically matches whatever language your Minecraft client is set to. It supports recent versions of Minecraft and runs on the Fabric loader, making it a lightweight addition to any modpack. The mod does not hardcode a list of known containers, so it works automatically with most modded storage blocks and items, making it an essential tool for players who love complex storage rooms.
