Low-effort item sorting to keep your workshop organized. Works with Vanilla clients!
About this Mod
Quicksort
Features
- Lightweight item sorting. Keep your workshop organized quickly and easily.
- Vanilla-friendly. Does not add any new blocks to your server.
- Serverside-only. Does not have to be installed on clients.
- Fully customizable. Define your own quicksort chest types.
Usage
- Place an emerald or diamond block in the center of your storage area.
- Create a Quicksorter by putting regular chest on top of that block.
- Items placed in the Quicksorter will automatically be distributed to nearby chests that contain matching items.

Fine Points
- The Quicksorter must have a clear line-of-sight to the receiving chests
- The receiving chests must be within a cube-shaped area centered on the Quicksorter.
- The Quicksorter's range depends on the type of block used:
- Emerald: 5 blocks away
- Diamond: 10 blocks away
- Items are transferred regardless of whether the item appears to not make it to the chest

Quicksort server crashes on startup – what to do?

Server lagging with Quicksort – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Quicksort consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
