⬇ Download on CurseForgeThe author built this one for Minecraft 1.16.4 on Forge. On other versions it may install and then do nothing.
HWYLF is a utility mod that allows its users to search for specific items in the inventories around them.
Users can search for items in a few ways:
- Pressing the keybind (Default: v) while hovering over an item will search a 7x7 area around the player for inventories containing that item and outline them.
- Pressing the keybind while outside of an inventory will clear the search, unhiglighting everything.
- Using the search bar in the player inventory
- Users can use the scroll wheel while in the search bar to scroll through the typed word.
- Users can right click on the search bar to clear it
When searching for an item, the inventory containing it is outlined in a wireframe that matches its shape.
Opening the inventory will grey out any items that are not the one you're looking for.
The color and line thickness of the wireframe outline can be changed in the client config.
