Amazing Chest
by pcal43
Amazing Chest adds a Sorting Chest block that pulls matching items from a hopper chain into itself, so players set up item sorting without building a sorter.
What it does
A Sorting Chest works like a chest with a filter. Players place it at the end of a chain of hoppers, and it keeps the items it is set to accept while routing the rest onward. Items that match the filter arrive on their own, and changing what the chest accepts rearranges the flow without rebuilding the chain. Create chain hoppers like shown, and put items the chests want to show up in the chests.
The mod is aimed at storage setups on Fabric servers, where sorting happens for every player at once. It is a server-side only addition: players join without installing anything, and the server runs it alone. Amazing Chest works with the Lithium mod only after one of its hopper optimizations is disabled in lithium.properties, by setting mixin.block.hopper=false, because that optimization conflicts with the Sorting Chest.

Files cover Minecraft 1.18.1, 1.18.2, 1.19 and 1.19.2, and the latest Fabric file, 0.0.8+1.19.2, dates from 2022-08-30. The mod was first published on 2022-02-26. The author's notes say the mod works much like the Tango Tek sorting system, without needing to build one.
Key features
Sorting Chest block
A placeable block that automatically pulls in the items it is set to accept from connected hoppers.
Filters for matching items
Each chest accepts only the items it matches, so a hopper chain can feed several chests with different contents.
Sorting of stackable and unstackable items
Both kinds of items can be sorted, including many different item types going into the same chest.
Reorganizing items between chests
Sorting can move items already stored in one chest into different chests, so an existing storage room can be reorganized.
