Description
LogiChest is a lightweight Forge logistics mod built to take the frustration out of inventory management with smart item routing and simple, survival-friendly automation.
Instead of relying on pipe networks, complicated machinery, or redstone-heavy sorting contraptions, LogiChest gives you a clean and intuitive way to organize storage rooms, automate production lines, and manage item flow using two core blocks: Hubs and Sorters.
A Hub acts as the center of your network. Place one next to a chest or inventory, insert the required crafting ingredients (fully configurable), and it will automatically forge a LogiLink Key over time.
That key allows you to link Sorters to the Hub, creating a flexible logistics system where each Sorter can route only the items you specify.
Each Sorter includes a simple 5×2 whitelist grid, ensuring that only chosen items are transferred while everything else is ignored.
Features
Automatic Link Key Crafting
Hubs work like a furnace: provide ingredients and Link Keys are crafted automatically over time with no extra steps required.
Hub and Sorter Networks
Connect multiple Sorters to a single Hub to build scalable logistics setups for storage systems, farms, or factories.
Whitelist-Driven Sorting
Every Sorter uses a configurable filter grid. Only matching items will ever be moved or routed.
Vanilla-Inspired Interfaces
Clean, familiar GUIs styled after vanilla chest and furnace menus, complete with progress indicators and tooltips.
Configurable and Modpack-Friendly
All major mechanics can be adjusted through a Forge config file, allowing easy balancing for servers and packs.
Hopper-Style Transfers
Sorters behave like intelligent hoppers, pulling only valid items and sending them directly into the correct destination inventory.
Fair Item Distribution
When several Sorters share the same Hub, transfers are handled with round-robin routing to keep distribution even and consistent.
Configuration Options
LogiChest includes server-friendly settings for tuning speed and complexity:
- keyCraftTimeTicks — Time required to forge Link Keys
- maxLinkedSorters — Maximum Sorters connected to one Hub
- transfersPerCycle — Items routed per tick
- hopperCooldownTicks — Delay between routing attempts
These options make it easy to customize LogiChest for both casual survival worlds and large SMP servers.
Recommended Uses
- Automated storage sorting without pipe networks
- Routing items into smelters, farms, or processing lines
- Compact logistics setups using only vanilla inventories
- Combining with hoppers and redstone for advanced automation
LogiChest is designed to remain lightweight, intuitive, and perfectly at home in long-term vanilla-style gameplay.
