# Places

Name your base, or only the chests that are yours, and search just there.

Places are new in Sorted **0.1.42**.

A place is a group of containers you give a name, such as your base, a friend's base or the farm. In the search you can then look in that place only. A place is an area around a storage room, the chests you picked one by one, or both.

## Make a place where you stand

1. Open the chests of your storage once, so Sorted knows them. See [Chest memory](https://voxelsprout.com/sorted/wiki/chest-memory).
2. Stand in your storage room and press \`, or click ![the Search button](https://voxelsprout.com/media/sorted/icons/search.svg) under your inventory.
3. Under **Place**, below the range tabs, click **New place...**. Once you have places it reads **Places...**, and **New place...** is at the top of that list.
4. Type a name for it, such as `Base`. Every place starts with a chest icon; the button beside the name picks another: a house, a castle, a farm, any item and more. The icon shows next to the place under **Place** in Find Items.
5. Under **What it holds**, keep **The storage around me**. Under it Sorted says how many containers it takes and how big the place will be: the containers within 16 blocks of you and those next to them, with a little room around them for more chests.
6. Click **Create**. You are back in the world with the place's containers lit up, so you can see what it took.

When the storage around you is already in a place, or Sorted knows no storage within 16 blocks, **The storage around me** says so and can't be picked. Open the chests there once and try again.

## Search only there

Pick the place under **Place** in **Find Items**. The search then shows only what is stored in it, within the range tab you picked, so a place and **Nearby** is what is in that place and near you. **Anywhere** searches every container again. The place you pick is remembered per world.

When nothing in the place matches but containers outside it would, the screen says so. A place in another dimension says which one next to its name.

## Pick chests one by one

Where a group shares a village, an area around you takes everyone's chests. Make a place with **Only the containers I pick** under **What it holds** instead, and put your own chests in it one at a time.

1. Open the chest. Once this world has a place, a ![the bookmark](https://voxelsprout.com/media/icons/bookmark.svg) button sits above the chest, left of the other buttons. It is filled while the chest is in a place, and pointing at it names the places.
2. Click it and click a place to put the chest in it or take it out. Several places can hold the same chest.
3. **New place...** opens the same dialog with **Only the containers I pick** ticked: type a name and click **Create**, and the place starts with this chest.

This also works on a place made from an area: take out a chest inside it that is not yours, or add one outside it.

The button shows once the world has a place. To have it from the start, or never, set [**Places button on containers**](https://voxelsprout.com/sorted/wiki/settings#setting-places-button-on-containers) in the **Search** tab of the settings to **Always** or **Off**.

## Rename, reorder or remove a place

**Places...** in Find Items, or [**Your places**](https://voxelsprout.com/sorted/wiki/settings#setting-your-places) in the **Search** tab of the settings, lists this world's places with their icons. Click one and it shows on the left, with how many containers it holds, how big it is and how far away. From there:

* **Search here** opens Find Items on that place only.
* **Show its containers** lights them up in the world.
* **Rename...** changes its name and its icon.
* **Remove** takes the place away. Click it twice; the chests and what is in them stay.

Drag a place by the dots at the left of its row to move it up or down. The search lists the places under **Place** in the same order.

Places are kept on your computer per world and per server, next to the [Chest memory](https://voxelsprout.com/sorted/wiki/chest-memory). Clearing the world's cache keeps them.

* **Places button on containers default Once you have a place:** The button above a chest for the places it is in: **Off**, **Once you have a place** or **Always**.
