Auto Sorting Machine
by MaikuraKobo
Auto Sorting Machine is a Fabric storage mod that sorts the items in containers near a player, reaching 16 blocks.
What it does
Auto Sorting Machine automatically transfers items between nearby containers, sorting them so storage stays organized without a complicated setup. Its detection covers chests, barrels and hoppers within a 16-block range, which makes it usable in survival builds where storage is spread across a base. Items are moved by the mod itself, so a player does not have to open each container and rearrange stacks by hand.
The mod is a lightweight Fabric addition built for multiplayer, and the author describes it as server-friendly. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Fabric is the only loader it supports, and its only published build targets 1.21.11. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod.
The author presents the mod as a foundation for future storage logistics tools within the Maikura series, so later releases may extend its role. The current version is 1.0.54 for 1.21.11, published on 2026-05-31, the same day the page was first published.
