SimpleSorter
A lightweight client-side Fabric mod for effortless inventory management in Minecraft.
✨ Features
🔑 One-Key Smart Sorting
Open any container (inventory, chest, ender chest, etc.) and press R to instantly organize your items.
- Auto Stack Merging — Automatically consolidates partial stacks of the same item into full stacks, freeing up valuable slots
- Category Sorting — Items are arranged following the standard Creative Mode tab order:
- Tools & Utilities
- Combat
- Building Blocks
- Natural Blocks
- Functional Blocks
- Redstone
- Food & Drinks
- Ingredients
- Spawn Eggs
- Pure Client-Side — Sorting is performed by simulating player clicks, making it fully compatible with any server — no server-side installation required
🖱️ Mouse Tweaks
Shift + Drag to Quick-Move
Hold Shift and left-click drag across multiple slots — every slot you pass over will be instantly quick-moved to the opposite inventory.
💡 Much faster than Shift-clicking each slot one by one!
Shift + Double-Click to Move All Same Items
While holding an item on your cursor, Shift + Double-Click on a matching item to instantly quick-move all identical items from that inventory to the other side.
💡 Perfect for pulling all your diamonds or iron ingots out of a chest at once.
Space + Double-Click to Move Everything
Hold Space and Double-Click any slot in a container to instantly quick-move every single item from that inventory to the opposite side.
💡 One move to empty an entire chest — the ultimate moving day tool!
⚙️ In-Game Configuration
Press Z + I (default combo) to open a graphical settings panel in-game:
- Category Sort Order — Customize the priority of item categories
- Z-Key Guard Toggle — Disable the Z-key requirement to open settings with just I
Also accessible from Mod Menu if installed.
