Auto sorter
by Talloran20
Auto sorter adds two blocks that move items between storage containers on Fabric, with no manual transfer needed.
What it does
The first block is a sorting sentencer that reads a redstone signal and, while powered, takes items out of the chest it is connected to and sends them onward. The second block, a resource receiver, compares each received item against its inventory filter slots, and an item that matches is moved into the storage in front of it. Together the two blocks let a warehouse route items by type without a player moving them by hand.
Auto sorter runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric only, for Minecraft 1.20.1, with Fabric API required alongside it. The mod is released under the MIT License and is open source, with its source code and issue tracker public.
Key features
Sorting sentencer block
A block that takes items from the connected chest when it receives a redstone signal and passes them on.
Resource receiver block
A block that checks each incoming item against its filter slots and sends matching items to the storage in front.
Filter slots
The receiver's inventory filter slots decide which item types it accepts, so one setup handles many item kinds.
Warehouse routing
Both blocks work together to split a shared stock into separate storages, sorting items without a player.

Use cases
Automated warehouse
A storage room where a redstone signal pushes items from a central chest into typed storages through receivers.
Item distribution
Items arriving from a farm or mining line are routed by type, so each storage holds only its matching resource.
Who it’s for: Players building automated storage systems in survival or on servers, who want items routed by type through redstone circuits.
