Command List
| Command | Description | Permission | |---------|-------------|------------| | `/sc <radius> [flags]` | Searches loaded containers within a specified chunk radius centered on you | `searchcontainer.use`OP | | `/sc all [flags]` | Searches all generated containers in the entire world (reads region files) | `searchcontainer.use.all`OP | | `/sc cancel` | Cancels an ongoing search | `searchcontainer.use`OP | | `/sc reload` | Reloads configuration and language files | `searchcontainer.use`OP |

Filter Flags
| Flag | Effect Description | |------|--------------------| | `-name` | Candidate item name contains the display name of the held template (default requires exact match) | | `-enchant` | Candidate item contains all enchantments of the held template, with levels ≥ template levels | | `-lore` | Candidate item Lore contains every line of lore from the held template |
Default Mode (no flags): Exact match — item type, custom name, enchantments, Lore, PDC must all be equal.

/sc all

Operational Mechanism
| Search Mode | Scan Range | Disk Read | Loads New Chunks | |------------|------------|-----------|------------------| | World Mode | N×N chunks centered on player, scans only loaded chunks | No | No | | World Mode | All generated chunks in the world (parses .mca file headers) | Yes | No |
Scans only currently loaded chunks: - Parses the 4096-byte chunk location table at the header of `r.x.z.mca` files - Retrieves coordinates of all chunks ever generated in the world - Scans only currently loaded chunks, does not actively load unloaded chunks - Avoids server lag or loading chunk entities caused by scanning
---
Important Notes
- Must hold an item: Limited by `max-radius`, scans only loaded chunks - Must hold an item: Not limited by `max-radius`, traverses all .mca files in the world but scans only currently loaded chunks - World search may take considerable time on large survival servers or archives with thousands of days; it is recommended to set `max-results-display` appropriately - Must hold an item to search; cannot execute with an empty hand - Supports all `Container` type containers: Chests, Trapped Chests, Hoppers, Dispensers, Droppers, Shulker Boxes, Furnaces, etc.
