It is designed to be quick and easy to use and is inspired by the Spotlight system-wide search on macOS and other desktop application launchers.<\/p>\n<p>Click the image below to go to YouTube to watch a video of Blip in action.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/kvs01urkPoA\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Click the image below to go to YouTube to watch a video explaining Blip&#8217;s functionality.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/V03D6UsprnQ\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s how it works:<\/p>\n<p>The search is activated by a configurable key binding (default `J`), which activates a text box. When you type into the text<br \/>\nbox, Blip uses your query to search for items. When you press Enter (or return, on Mac), the top result is placed in<br \/>\nyour hand. You will be given a single item if in Creative mode. If in Survival mode, the first stack will be moved into<br \/>\nyour hand, and whatever was in your hand will move to where the selected item stack was.<\/p>\n<p>You may optionally specify a number before or after the query separated by a space to specify the number of items to put<br \/>\nin your hand. For example, the queries **carr 16** or **16 carr** would give you 16 carrots.<\/p>\n<p>## Installation<\/p>\n<p>You need to install the Fabric Mod Loader. See https:\/\/fabricmc.net.<\/p>\n<p>Download the latest release from GitHub or<br \/>\nModrinth.<\/p>\n<p>To install the mod, follow this guide: https:\/\/docs.fabricmc.net\/players\/installing-mods.<\/p>\n<p>## Uninstallation<\/p>\n<p>Remove `blip-*.jar` from the mods folder.<\/p>\n<p>Blip does not generate or modify any other files.<\/p>\n<p>## Nightly<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re feeling bold, you can download the latest nightly build here. **This is the active development version<br \/>\non the main branch, not a stable release. Expect issues. It may not work at all.**<\/p>\n<p>## Development<\/p>\n<p>To build the project from source, simply run the command `.\/gradlew build`. The completed jar will appear in<br \/>\n`build\/libs\/blip-v*.jar`.<\/p>\n<p>## Contributing<\/p>\n<p>There are many ways in which you can contribute:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; For bug reports, please create an issue on the GitHub repository detailing exactly how the error occurred and attaching any<br \/>\nrelevant crash reports or logs.<br \/>\n&#8211; For feature requests, please create an issue on the GitHub repository detailing what the feature or enhancement should<br \/>\nbe and how it would improve the project.<br \/>\n&#8211; For pull requests, please maintain good coding practices and take feedback eagerly.<br \/>\n&#8211; You can also contribute simply by sharing the mod with other people who might like it \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>## Questions and Answers<\/p>\n<p>**Will there be a Forge version?**<\/p>\n<p>Maybe, but I don&#8217;t have that planned right now. I don&#8217;t know Forge, but if you do, maybe you could try it!<\/p>\n<p>**What versions of Minecraft does Blip run on?**<\/p>\n<p>I will generally try to support only the latest release of Minecraft. I will not be testing on snapshots and I will<br \/>\nprobably not go out of my way to support older versions of Minecraft. But you won&#8217;t know until you try!<\/p>\n<p>**Why is it called Blip?**<\/p>\n<p>Blip is a simple name that is easy to say, and I strive to make Blip simple and easy to use. Also, instead of moving<br \/>\nitems from the Creative inventory into your hotbar, they just *blip* into your hand!<\/p>\n<p>**Why is the versioning like that?**<\/p>\n<p>Normal semantic versioning follows the pattern `MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH`, which is useful for developers, but not so much<br \/>\nusers. To differentiate major versions of the software, I have changed the pattern slightly to<br \/>\n`vEDITION-MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH`. _Edition_ is for big user-facing upgrades so that _major_ can be updated independently to<br \/>\nindicate non-backward-compatible changes (as it is supposed to).<\/p>\n<p>## Thanks to<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Mojang for developing an awesome game.<br \/>\n&#8211; The FabricMC project for creating Minecraft modding frameworks.<br \/>\n&#8211; GitHub, for hosting my code.<br \/>\n&#8211; Apache, for the fuzzy search system FuzzyScore.<br \/>\n&#8211; IntelliJ, for developing a great IDE.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>![Blip icon](https:\/\/code.macver.org\/Bog\/Blip\/media\/branch\/main\/src\/main\/resources\/assets\/blip\/icon.png)<\/p>\n<p>Blip Icon \u00a9 2025 by BogTheMudWing is licensed under CC BY 4.0.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>![Bog The MudWing](https:\/\/blog.macver.org\/about-me)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A fast and easy fuzzy-search item grabber.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":32033,"template":"","meta":{"_minecraft_slug":"blip","_minecraft_project_id":"5TCUapTl","_minecraft_author":"BogTheMudWing","_minecraft_license":"MIT","_minecraft_downloads":790,"_minecraft_follows":19,"_minecraft_client_side":"required","_minecraft_server_side":"unsupported","_minecraft_storage_type":"zip","_minecraft_archive_name":"blip.zip","_minecraft_size_bytes":87505146,"_minecraft_version_count":6,"_minecraft_updated_at":"2026-05-15T21:22:18.961312Z","_minecraft_date_created":"2025-06-21T01:16:48.641064Z","_minecraft_date_modified":"2025-10-11T19:54:56.108416Z","_minecraft_project_url":"https:\/\/modrinth.com\/mod\/blip","_minecraft_icon_attachment_id":32033,"_minecraft_imported_at":"2026-06-01T14:25:00+00:00","_minecraft_import_hash":"2ca41f617acad87b8e9c3bde28be171e","_minecraft_versions":"","_minecraft_links":"","_minecraft_gallery":"","_minecraft_api_metadata":""},"mod_category":[97,98,92],"mod_loader":[99,100],"minecraft_version":[40,41,73,74,38,78,79,80,81],"class_list":["post-32032","mod","type-mod","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","mod_category-fabric","mod_category-quilt","mod_category-utility","mod_loader-fabric","mod_loader-quilt","minecraft_version-1-21-10","minecraft_version-1-21-11","minecraft_version-1-21-2","minecraft_version-1-21-3","minecraft_version-1-21-4","minecraft_version-1-21-5","minecraft_version-1-21-6","minecraft_version-1-21-7","minecraft_version-1-21-8"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
