About this Mod

Chest sorter

Sort your Chest, Shulker and Player inventories by simply pressing a key.
It will sort items by ID. You can re-assign the default keybinding R in the vanilla settings.

Why?

There already are chest sorting mods, but I was not able to find any without a server plugin/mod. I need a client-only solution, which I can use on vanilla servers. Thus I made this mod.

WARNING: KICK-able

This mod will simulate your player clicking the inventory very fast to sort it. You can get kicked from vanilla servers for packet spam if you over-use this tool.

And be super careful if the server is cheat-protected, as then they might do more than just kick you for packet spam.

A burst of packets is not a big thing, if you do not perform it too much. Give it a try on vanilla first.

Support

This mod will rarely see updates. As I only add support for versions which I actually use. That means one of each primary version normally.

I linked Discord. Join and nag me to update the mod - then I'll do it :)

Known issues:

It will "sort" items into bags :/ Dunno if it does the same with shulker boxes. Will eventually look into this.
