Sort Chest

Description

Sort Chest is a lightweight client-side mod for Minecraft Forge 1.20.1 that adds a handy "Sort" button to every chest interface. With one click, it organizes your chest's contents by automatically combining partial stacks of the same item and grouping them together.

Unsorted When sorted

How It Works (for the user)

Open any chest (single, double, barrel, etc.).
Look for the new Sort button in the chest GUI (usually near the top or bottom of the window).
Click the button, and instantly:
- All partial stacks of the same item are merged into full stacks (up to their maximum stack size, e.g., 64 for most items, 16 for snowballs/eggs, 1 for tools).
- Items are moved so that identical items are grouped together in contiguous slots.
Your chest becomes neatly organized without any manual dragging or rearranging.

Features

Works with all chest types: vanilla chests, trapped chests, barrels, and even modded chests that use the standard container GUI.
Fully client-side: no server installation needed; works on any multiplayer server.
One-click simplicity—no configuration required.
Preserves stack size limits and respects item NBT data (so enchanted tools or named items won't merge incorrectly).
Compatible with other inventory mods.
