stow companion

Faster chest sorting

Update both Stow and the companion to 1.0.3. Vanilla chests (including trapped/double), barrels, ender chests and shulker boxes now sort in one validated server operation, preserving the selected sort order and stack combining. Player inventory and cursor remain untouched.

The server checks the open menu, distance, unchanged contents, permissions, stack limits and exact item/component totals before making changes. Requests are limited to 54 storage slots and 24 KiB. Custom/restricted menus, player-inventory sorts, older/absent companions and oversized data use the existing click queue. Changed contents stop safely; missing replies time out after five seconds without replay.

Acceleration is automatic. Servers with protection/storage mods that require individual vanilla clicks can set fastChestSorting=false in config/stow-companion.properties and restart. Connected-log harvesting is retained.

Minecraft 26.3, Fabric Loader 0.19.5+, Java 25 and Fabric API required. Install alongside the client locally for single-player; on multiplayer servers install this companion on the server and Stow on the client. Replace previous JARs. Existing saved data and maxLogs settings are preserved.

Validation: 112 Minecraft runtime release checks plus 37 Finish/Reopen checks, 61 acceleration-disabled checks across all five queue sort orders, eight block-refill checks and both dedicated-server GameTests passed. Actual multiplayer modpack and Timber/protection-mod compatibility remain unverified.
