1.16/20w06 update: It seems like the 1.15 version of the mod works as well, as long as you update the Fabric API (hint: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/fabric-api/files/2875599)
Version 1.4 (available for Minecraft 1.14 and 1.15) adds the sort icon to all inventory screens, and sorts items by display name / damage / enchants if the item type itself is the same. Also, the shortcut keys (sort chest, sort inventory, move stuff up/down) can be bound in Options/Controls now.
This mod adds some buttons around the standard chest GUI:
- move a whole row, or column, of items from your inventory to a chest or back
- move all items from your inventory to a chest that already occur in the chest
- sort your inventory, or a chest's contents
If you don't like the icons, there's a resource pack to change them (https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/texture-packs/easierchests-alternative-icons).
Clicking one of the green arrows to the left, above, or below the original chest GUI will move all items in that row/colum from/to the chest.
Clicking the broom will sort the chest, or the inventory, next to it.
Clicking the right green arrow moves all items that are already have an instance in the target inventory. In the above example, I could shift-click one of the haystacks to move it, then click the down arrow to move all the other stacks as well.
Imagine you have 4 chests - one for cobblestone, one andesite, one diorite, one granite. You arrive home from mining, with a mixture of all of them in your inventory. Open diorite - click arrow - open andesite - click arrow - open granite - click arrow - open cobble - click arrow, and you'll have all your mining results sorted right where they belong.
You can excempt individual slots from sorting/moving by clicking the middle mouse button on them; these slots get marked with a red circle. Shift-clicking the broom or arrows overrides these exceptions.
This mod works with servers as well, as long as they don't explicitly disable some actions using NoCheatPlus or else. However, this mod doesn't allow to do anything you couldn't do without it, it just saves some clicks; so you might be able to talk to your server owner about it. No plugin is neccesary on the server.
please add "SORT" button too, icons are too big make it flat, and too many...
In reply to sandytigley:
What's wrong with the brush icons? A button would take some space as well.
You do know you can assign the sort buttons to hotkeys? In that case you won't even need to ever use the icons.
broken in 20w17aPlease make it compatible with cursed chest mod
Hello. Thank you so much for the mod. It became much more convenient to play with him. One question, is whether it is possible in future versions to make it possible to assign hot keys to some functions. For example, to move all existing items into a chest. Thank.
Minecraft 1.14.4; If one day this mod is updated again, you need support for Mpcs's Backpacks and Cursed Chests
please make the sort items button stay present in the inventory without the need to open a chest
Just inquiring: Are there any plans to move this mod to Forge now that it is fully out? I am not asking for an ETA, I understand you can't give that. I just like to know if it is in the works or not. I don't think Forge and Fabric play very nice together on one profile, and I really like this mod (even without a middle mouse wheel).
Would love a version or configuration with only sort button
Just fyi works fine in 1.14.3

if i may suggest also adding sorting inventory without having to open a chest, it would be great!
In reply to WereWhusky:
Yes please! This would be amazing.
In reply to lutetiumtl:
alright, we just need to ask the creator if i can upload it
In reply to WereWhusky:
Sorry for not answering earlier, I was on vacation for two weeks.
Yes, I'd be glad to use your icons. However, I had some copyright issues with another project earlier, where person A sent me some files, then person B claimed they were theirs and I stole them, so I want to avoid this now.
Basically I see two possibilities:
- You fork the project on github, replace the png, and send me a pull request stating something like "I made this and you're permitted to use it" in the comment
- You make a resource pack from the png (basically, it just needs the pack.mcmeta and assets/easierchests/textures/icons.png file which you upload yourself, and I'll gladly link to that in my mod description. This would have the advantage of giving people a choice to use it or the default one.
Sorry for the hassle and please don't take that as me distrusting you, it's just that I got burned once and want to avoid this in the future.
Thanks for contributing!
New using the mod, I'm liking it but I'd love to see some changes if possible:
1) Option to hide the green arrows ( I really dont use them )
2) Option to hide the red circles ( OCD about it )
3) Able to inventory sort without having to open a chest, just from the inventory GUI.
4) Allow to remap the keybindings for sorting.
In reply to iPollox:
I second all these!!!
Can the mod not log everytime you open a container?
"Trying to open container with name something"
Hey there, nice mod! You wouldn't be motivated to make it work with the chests from the mod "Cursed Chests", would you? That would be awesome! :-)
In reply to Napkin0815:
+1 to that request, with Reinforced Storage thrown in as well. I noticed it does work with the barrels added by Blockus, though I'm guessing that's because those are just re-skinned spruce barrels.
Thanks!
Is there any way you could add an option to turn the arrows/circles off? They're really kind of an eyesore for me.
Also, is there any way you could move the sort icon to the left side of the GUI so that this is more compatible with NEI-like mods? It's still clickable as is but kind of gets hidden behind the REI menu I have installed and it just looks a bit jank.
Either way this is a fantastic mod and a wonderful alternative for mousetweaks and other such mods that aren't available on Fabric and I'm really glad you made it!
