An inventory and storage mod for Minecraft, on Fabric and NeoForge
Sort your chests, put things away, and find them again.
Sorted adds a few buttons to your inventory and chest screens. They sort, move items to the chests that already hold them, and search everything you have put away. Nothing is needed on the server.
Also on CurseForge. New versions reach Modrinth first; CurseForge checks every file before it goes live.
Each clip is recorded in the game, in a storage room with real chest contents. Click a clip to pause it.
Stand in your storage room, open your inventory and click Quick Stack. Every stack goes to the nearby chest that already holds that item, or the same material.
One click sorts the open chest and puts what belongs together side by side. Shift+Click lays it out in columns, Ctrl+Click in rows, Alt+Click compact.
Press R with your inventory open, or click the sort button. Tools, weapons and armor come first, then food, then blocks grouped by material, then the rest.
A shulker box in your inventory shows its main item on the lid, so you can see which box is which without hovering each one. Sorting puts each box next to the items it holds.
Hold Alt and click an item: it is no longer sent to chests. Alt+Scroll sets a number instead. Keep 2 stacks of rockets, and only what is above that leaves.
/sorted keep lists every rule, and a list can be shared as a code
Sorted remembers what was in every chest, barrel and shulker box you have opened, per world and per server. Press ` and type a name to see the total and which containers hold it.
Placed shulker boxes show what is in them on top, with the name you gave them. Chests and barrels can do the same once you turn it on.
Labels on chests and barrels are off by default. Turn them on in the settings, in the In the world tab.
How it worksPick your items back up and each goes to the slot it was in, hotbar and armor included.
Read moreThe buttons use vanilla button frames, so a resource pack that restyles buttons restyles these too.
The buttonsWith BuildPrint installed, its material list shows how many of each block are in your chests, and can light them up.
About BuildPrintSorted groups things by what they are, not by their names. A click sorts, and Ctrl+Click lays the same chest out in rows. Pick a chest to see it.
Sorted only runs on your client, so it works on vanilla servers, Realms and in modpacks. Everything it does is the clicks you could make by hand, only faster. Whether you may use it is up to the server, so check the rules.
Clicks go out as a row, 15 a tick by default. If a server kicks you during a sort, Sorted slows down on that server and remembers it.
Chest screens a server uses as a shop or a menu get no buttons and are never sorted, so a click cannot buy something.
On servers that do not allow automation, such as Hypixel, Sorted switches itself off completely. You can add servers to the list.

Minecraft 26.x
Minecraft 1.21.x
Played before each release: 1.21.11 and 26.3 on Fabric, 26.1.2, 26.2 and 26.3 on NeoForge. The other versions are built from the same code; bug reports for them help.
How each part works, with every setting and its default.
Open a chest and click the sort button above it, on the right. For your inventory, press R or click the sort button under it. Your hotbar is left alone. Shift, Ctrl or Alt with the click sorts a chest in columns, rows or compact. See Sorting chests and Sorting your inventory.
Stand near your chests, open your inventory and click Quick Stack. Every stack goes to a chest within reach that already holds that item or the same material, and those chests light up. Your hotbar stays, and so does anything on your The keep list. See Quick Stack.
Fabric on every Minecraft version from 1.21.1 to 1.21.11 and from 26.1 to 26.3, and NeoForge on 1.21.1, 1.21.3, 1.21.4, 1.21.5, 1.21.8, 1.21.10 and 1.21.11 and on 26.1.2 to 26.3. Minecraft 1.21 itself isn't supported: play 1.21.1. Every version has the same Sorted, with the same screens and settings, and only needs Fabric API on Fabric. The Modrinth app picks the right file for you.
1.21.11 and 26.3 on Fabric, and 26.1.2, 26.2 and 26.3 on NeoForge, are played before each release. The others are built from the same code but not tested each time, so a bug report for them helps.
No. Sorted only runs on your client. It works on vanilla servers, Realms and in modpacks.
In the game's own Controls screen: press Esc, click Options..., Controls... and Key Binds..., and scroll to the Inventory group. The Sorted keys are there: Sorted: Open Container Search, Sorted: Quick Sort Inventory and Sorted: Open Keep List. Click the button next to one and press a key.
Sort is on R and search on `. The keep list has no key until you set one.
It runs on your client, so it works on any server you can join. It moves items with the same clicks you would make by hand, only faster. Some servers do not allow inventory mods, so check the rules.
Sorted has a list of servers that ban this kind of mod, and switches itself off completely when you join one. See Servers.
Quick Stack only puts an item in a chest that already holds a fair amount of it, or of the same material. One stray item in a chest full of other things does not count, so that chest is skipped. Items with no chest stay with you.
Shift+Click Quick Stack to put those away too, in the chest that fits best. Also check the The keep list: kept items never leave.
Press `, or click the magnifier under your inventory, and type its name in Find Items. Click the item and every container that holds it lights up, through walls. It finds what is in the containers you have opened. See Search.
Type /sorted report, or press Write a report... in the Help tab of the settings. You see everything that would be sent, and nothing goes until you press Send. When your report gets an answer, the game tells you.
Or share your latest.log, from the logs folder of your Minecraft folder, with the Minecraft version, your loader (Fabric or NeoForge), the Sorted version and a short description of what happened, on Discord. See Bug reports.
