Frosty's Sorting Depot

Mechanical item sorting that anyone can set up in five minutes. No power. No pipes. No fuss.

Sorting Depot adds a lightweight, fully mechanical sorting network to Minecraft. Feed items into a Depot Controller and they route themselves into the right inventories based on Filter Cards and Priority Stamps — and it works with any storage block, vanilla or modded, that exposes the standard NeoForge item capability (chests, barrels, shulker boxes, Create vaults, Mekanism crates, and more).

No energy systems. No conduits of its own. Just place, link, and sort.

How it works

  1. Place a Depot Controller. Items pushed into its top — by a hopper, dropper, pipe, or an inventory sitting directly above it — enter its buffer.
  2. Put a Linker Node against a chest (or any inventory) and drop a Filter Card inside it.
  3. Configure the card by right-clicking open a new GUI: Item mode binds up to 5 items, Tag mode binds up to 3 of the items' tags (e.g. #minecraft:logs), and Overflow mode catches everything.
  4. Wire it up with the Linker tool: right-click the node, then right-click the Controller.
  5. Done. Items flow to the first matching destination by priority (set with a Priority Stamp), and anything unmatched falls into the Overflow Chest — never lost, never voided.

Features

  • 🧭 Depot Controller — the hub. Routes ~4× a hopper's speed and pulls from the inventory above it.
  • 🏷️ Filter Cards — Item, Tag, and Overflow modes, configured in-world.
  • 🔢 Priority Stamps — 1–5 priority per destination; higher fills first.
  • 📦 Overflow Chest — a real double-able, animated chest that catches the unmatched.
  • 🖥️ Depot Terminal — a dashboard showing every destination's filter and fill at a glance.
  • 🔌 Comparator output — read how full the Controller's buffer is for redstone automation.
  • ♻️ Never voids items — if nothing can take an item, it waits safely in the buffer.
  • 🤝 Cross-mod by design — built entirely on the standard item-transfer capability.

Requirements

  • Minecraft 26.2 · NeoForge
  • No dependencies.

    This is a VERY lightweight mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 mostly consisting of a few blocks and items. It was created as a private joke between me and my friends, but i figured that other people could still maybe enjoy it !
