Search

For better search you can also use tags: #item, #resourcepack, #enchantments, #damage, #count, #lore. After the tag you can write your stuff.

Also you can scroll your mouse to use autocompleter for tags like #item, #resourcepack, #enchantments. Example: #item scroll -> #item Diamond

Here you can see 3 examples of using tags for search, 1 picture shows an example with the tag "#item YOUR_STUFF", the second with the tag "#enchantment YOUR_STUFF", the third with the tag "#damage YOUR_STUFF"
