Sorted Inventory

Press R to instantly sort your inventory. Blocks, tools, and food grouped automatically.

Hotbar Slot Locking

Lock Sword, Pickaxe, Axe, and Totem to fixed hotbar slots — configurable inside the game.

General Settings

Control sort mode, auto-sort on open, and the in-inventory sort button — no file editing needed.


🤔 What does this mod do?

AutoInventorySorter automatically organizes your Minecraft inventory. Press R to sort everything — items are grouped by type, rarity, name, quantity, or durability depending on the mode you choose. It also locks specific hotbar slots so your sword and pickaxe never get displaced, and automatically refills consumed items like food, torches, and arrows.

It runs entirely on the client side — no server installation needed. Works on any server including vanilla, Paper, and Fabric.


✨ Features

🎯 One-Key Sorting

Press R to instantly sort your inventory or any open chest/container. Works on personal inventory, chests, barrels, shulker boxes, and more.

📂 5 Sort Modes

ITEM_TYPE Groups by category — weapons, tools, food, blocks, misc
RARITY Common → Uncommon → Rare → Epic → Legendary
NAME_AZ Alphabetical by item name
QUANTITY Largest stacks appear first
DURABILITY Best-condition tools sorted to the top

Switch modes from inside the game via Mod Menu.

🔒 Hotbar Slot Locking

Lock specific hotbar slots to always hold certain item types. Defaults:

  • Slot 1 → Sword
  • Slot 2 → Pickaxe
  • Slot 3 → Axe
  • Slot 9 → Totem of Undying

Configure each slot and toggle locking on/off from the Hotbar tab in Mod Menu.

🔄 Auto-Refill

When you consume the last item from a hotbar slot, AutoInventorySorter pulls a replacement from your inventory automatically. Supports:

  • Food
  • Blocks
  • Torches
  • Arrows

🚫 Blacklist System

Exclude specific items or inventory slots from sorting. Useful for maps, compasses, named items, or any item you want pinned in place.

Frequently Asked Questions

AutoInventorySorter server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.21.11). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is AutoInventorySorter compatible with fabric?

AutoInventorySorter officially supports fabric for Minecraft 1.21.11, 1.21.10, 1.21.9. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with AutoInventorySorter – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if AutoInventorySorter consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge.
