The buttons
Which buttons Sorted adds to the inventory and chest screens, and what each one does.
The buttons sit in vanilla button frames, so a resource pack that restyles buttons restyles these too. Their icons are sprites that a pack can replace. Hover a button to see what it does.
Under your inventory #
In your own inventory and in every chest, from left to right:
| Button | What it does |
|---|---|
| Search | Opens the Search. The same as `. |
| Quick Empty | Only with a chest open. Moves your main inventory into the chest. See Quick Fill, Quick Empty and Pull All. |
| Quick Fill | Tops up the stacks you carry: from the open chest, or from the chests around you. |
| Quick Stack | Puts items away in the chests that already hold them: into the open chest, or into the chests around you. See Quick Stack. |
| Sort | Sorts your inventory. See Sorting your inventory. |
Above a chest #
| Button | What it does |
|---|---|
| Pull All | Moves everything in the chest into your inventory. |
| Sort | Sorts the chest. See Sorting chests. |
These show on chests, barrels, shulker boxes and ender chests.
Clicks and modifiers #
| Click | What it does |
|---|---|
| Click a sort button | Sorts. In a chest, the layout is picked for you. |
| Shift+Click a sort button | Sorts in columns, one kind of thing per column. |
| Ctrl+Click a sort button | Sorts in rows, one kind of thing per row. |
| Shift+Click Quick Stack | Also puts away items that have no chest yet. |
| Alt+Click an item | Keeps it: it is never sent to a chest. See The keep list. |
| Alt+Scroll an item | Keeps more or fewer stacks of it. |
On a Mac, Ctrl+Click can reach the game as a right-click. A right-click on a sort button does the same as Ctrl+Click, so rows work either way.
Where the buttons do not show #
- In the creative inventory.
- In chest screens a server uses as a shop or a menu. See Servers.
- On servers where Sorted is switched off.
