🤔 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

|---|---|
ITEM_TYPE |
Groups by category — weapons, tools, food, blocks, misc |
RARITY |
Common → Uncommon → Rare → Epic → Legendary |
NAME_AZ |
Alphabetical by item name |
QUANTITY |

🔒 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.
