Absolute Order: Custom Chest Auto-Sorter

by marcsanz-dev

With Absolute Order, a player can set chest rules once and then deposit matching items from the inventory with a single click, instead of dragging each stack by hand.

What it does

Absolute Order lets players design chests with sorting filters so that items placed in them stay grouped by type. A dedicated Deposit button, or a configured hotkey, moves matching items from the inventory into the open container. The system scans the inventory and extracts only the items that match the chest filters, leaving essential tools and food where they are.

Version 2.0.0 adds transfer in both directions. Pulling a matching item from an open container into the inventory with one click works alongside deposits, and restocking the hotbar grabs only the exact stack needed for the next trip. Strict enforcement actively rejects a wrong item when someone tries to force it into a sorted chest. The mod is client-side only, so servers can run without it. It requires Architectury API, Cloth Config API, Fabric API and MixinBooter, with Mod Menu optional. Builds are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 12 release versions, 1.12.2 – 26.3, under the MIT License and as open source.

Key features

  1. Chest filters

    Chests can be assigned sorting filters, and an item dropped into a filtered chest stays grouped with its type.

  2. Deposit and pull

    A dedicated button or configured hotkey deposits matching items, and a single click pulls a matching item from a container into the inventory.

  3. Drag-based filter editing

    Filters can be built by dragging items into a list, removing them with a flick, and reordering the list to set sorting priority.

  4. Strict enforcement

    A wrong item is denied with a rejection animation when someone tries to force it into a sorted chest.

  5. Import from selected slots

    Items in selected inventory slots can be added to a filter list with one click.
