Tired of spending hours sorting your chests?

SortSage is a lightweight, server-side compatible mod designed to streamline your storage management. With SortSage, you don't need complex pipes or thousands of hoppers to keep your base organized. Simply mark your chests, hit a key, and watch your items snap into order.

How it Works

SortSage brings "smart storage" to your world using a simple sign-based system.

Mark your territory: Place a sign (Wall Sign or Standing Sign) on or directly attached to any chest or barrel.
Label it: Type "to sort" on the sign (case-insensitive).
Sort: Press your configured keybind (default: 'O') while standing within range.
Enjoy: All items in the marked chests will be extracted, consolidated, alphabetically sorted, and redistributed across your storage network.

Key Features

Area-of-Effect Sorting: Scans a user-configurable radius around the player to locate all marked storage containers.
Intelligent Consolidation: Items are grouped by type, maximizing stack efficiency. If you have "Cobblestone" scattered across 5 chests, SortSage pulls them all together into the first available inventory.
Alphabetical Organization: Items are sorted by their Registry Name/ID, ensuring your storage remains clean and predictable.
Overflow Handling: Never lose an item! If your marked chests fill up, any remaining items are neatly dropped at your feet as an ItemEntity.
Cross-Mod Compatibility: Built on Forge's IItemHandler capability, SortSage automatically supports Vanilla Chests, Barrels, and most modded storage containers (Iron Chests, Storage Drawers, etc.).
Highly Configurable: Server administrators can easily adjust the maximum sorting radius via the server config file to suit any playstyle or server performance level.
