Description

Bnnch: Sort

A NeoForge mod for Minecraft 1.21.1 that provides intelligent inventory sorting with multiple sorting methods, customizable preferences, and an intuitive user interface.

Features

  • Four Sorting Methods: Sort items alphabetically, by category, by quantity, or by mod ID
  • Ascending/Descending Order: Reverse any sorting method with a single keypress
  • Slot Locking: Lock specific inventory slots to exclude them from sorting (v0.2.0+)
  • Smart Stack Merging: Automatically combines partial stacks before sorting
  • Visual Feedback: On-screen overlay shows current sort preferences
  • Keybindings: Quick keyboard shortcuts for sorting and cycling preferences
  • Slash Commands: Full command support for sorting and configuration
  • UI Button: Optional sort button on container screens
  • Per-Player Preferences: Settings persist across sessions and respawn

Sorting Methods

Method Description
Alphabetical Sorts items by display name (A-Z or Z-A)
Category Groups items by creative tab, then alphabetically within each group
Quantity Sorts by stack count (highest to lowest, or reversed)
Mod ID Groups items by mod namespace, then alphabetically within each mod

Installation

  1. Install NeoForge for Minecraft 1.21.1
  2. Download the latest release of Bnnch: Sort
  3. Place the .jar file in your mods folder
  4. Launch Minecraft

Usage

Keybindings

Key Action
R Sort the inventory region under your cursor
P Cycle to the next sort preference (method + order)
Alt + Click Toggle slot lock on a player inventory slot

The sort key automatically detects which inventory section to sort based on mouse position:

  • Hovering over a container (chest, shulker box) sorts that container
  • Hovering over your main inventory sorts the 27-slot grid
  • Hovering over your hotbar sorts just the hotbar

Slot Locking

Hold the modifier key (default: Alt) and click a player inventory slot to lock or unlock it. Locked slots are highlighted with a colored tint and are excluded from sorting operations.

  • Locked slots keep their contents in place when sorting occurs
  • Locked empty slots remain empty during sorts
  • Non-full stacks in locked slots can still receive matching items merged from unlocked slots during sorting
  • Lock state persists across death, relog, and dimension changes
  • Only player inventory slots (main grid and hotbar) can be locked — container slots cannot

Hovering over an empty locked slot shows a tooltip with unlock instructions. The modifier key, tint color, and tooltip visibility are all configurable in the client config.

Commands

All commands use the /bnnchsort prefix:

/bnnchsort sortinv [region]    - Sort your inventory
                           Regions: all, main, hotbar (default: main)

/bnnchsort change <method> <order>  - Set your sorting preference
                                Methods: alphabetical, category, quantity, mod_id
                                Orders: ascending, descending

/bnnchsort reset               - Reset preferences to server defaults

/bnnchsort unlock              - Unlock all locked inventory slots

/bnnchsort config [key]        - View configuration settings
                           Keys: method, order, button

/bnnchsort help                - Display help and current preferences
                           Also shows locked slot counts

UI Button

A small sort button appears on compatible container screens (chests, shulker boxes, player inventory). Click it to sort the container contents. The button tooltip shows your current sort method and order.

The button can be disabled in the client configuration.
