Inventory sorting

Hotbar slot locking

Chest sorting

🤔 What does this mod do?

AutoInventorySorter automatically organizes your Minecraft inventory. Press R to sort everything — items are grouped by type, rarity, name, quantity, or durability depending on the mode you choose. It also locks specific hotbar slots so your sword and pickaxe never get displaced, and automatically refills consumed items like food, torches, and arrows.

It runs entirely on the client side — no server installation needed, works on any server including vanilla, Paper, and Fabric.


✨ Features

🎯 One-Key Sorting

Press R to instantly sort your inventory or any open chest/container. The entire operation completes in under 5ms with no lag or disruption.

📂 5 Sort Modes

Mode What it does
ITEM_TYPE Groups by category — weapons, tools, food, blocks, misc
RARITY Common → Uncommon → Rare → Epic → Legendary
NAME_AZ Alphabetical by item name
QUANTITY Largest stacks appear first
DURABILITY Best-condition tools sorted to the top

🔒 Hotbar Slot Locking

Lock specific hotbar slots to always hold certain item types. Defaults:

  • Slot 1 → Sword
  • Slot 2 → Pickaxe
  • Slot 3 → Axe
  • Slot 9 → Totem of Undying

Locked items automatically return to their assigned slot every time sorting runs. Fully customizable via config.

🔄 Auto-Refill

When you consume the last item from a hotbar slot, AutoInventorySorter immediately pulls a replacement from your inventory. Supports:

  • Food
  • Blocks
  • Torches
  • Arrows

Checks every 0.25 seconds, runs silently in the background.

🚫 Blacklist System

Exclude specific items or inventory slots from sorting entirely. Useful for maps, compasses, named items, or any item you want to keep in a fixed position.

👤 Profile System

Four built-in sort profiles you can switch between:

Profile Best for
Survival General play — balanced layout
PvP Combat — weapons and potions prioritized
Mining Pickaxes, torches, shovels, ores up front
Building Blocks sorted by type and quantity

⚡ Performance

  • Memory overhead: ~2 MB
  • CPU usage: less than 0.1% average
  • Sort time: ~5 ms for a full inventory
  • No tick impact on gameplay
