🧰 Vanilla Helper
Quality-of-life helpers for vanilla Minecraft — fair-play, client-side only, compatible with any server.
Vanilla Helper adds the small conveniences vanilla always needed, without ever giving you an unfair advantage. Everything runs on your client: install it, join any vanilla or modded server, and it just works. Every feature can be toggled and fine-tuned individually from an in-game settings screen (default key: V).
✨ Features
🔍 Container search — a search bar above every container; non-matching items are dimmed (or matches highlighted). Searches names, IDs, tooltips (enchantments, potions) and even inside closed shulker boxes and bundles. Ctrl+F to focus.
📊 Mini-HUD — coordinates, facing, biome, FPS and an in-game clock. Pick the corner, reorder the lines, choose from 9 colors.
🛡️ Protections — durability alerts, nearly-broken tool protection, double-press drop confirmation (with your own custom item list), and misclick protection for villagers, iron golems and named/tamed animals. Sneak to bypass any of them.
🔭 Zoom — hold C to zoom in (adjustable factor).
⏱️ Item despawn timer — color-coded countdown above dropped items before they despawn.
💀 Death coordinates — your death spot posted in chat on respawn, plus a warning before your items despawn.
📋 Copy coordinates — F6 copies your position to the clipboard (plain or as a /tp command).
🔢 Item counter — tooltips show how many of an item you own across your inventory and the open container.
⚖️ Fair play by design
The settings screen groups features into two categories:
- Fair play — everywhere: honest helpers, fine on any server
- Singleplayer only: features that would be unfair in multiplayer (exact phantom timer, weather forecast…) live here and are automatically disabled when you join a server — whatever the config says
🗺️ Planned
One-click chest sorting, quick-stack to containers, ModMenu integration, and more.
