AutoBamboo
AutoBamboo is a Fabric client mod that gathers bamboo from chests players open, sending the stacks into the inventory automatically.
What it does
When a player opens a chest, AutoBamboo pulls bamboo out of it and places the stacks into the player's inventory, so bamboo gathering needs less manual moving. Only the client runs the code, so servers do not need to install anything and players can use it on any server they join.
A toggle key switches the collection on and off; the default is Right Shift, which keeps the behavior under the player's control. The mod is listed under Storage and Management and targets Minecraft 1.21.5 on the Fabric loader, with Fabric API needed alongside it. The code is under the MIT License, but the project is not open source as a repository listing.
Key features
Automatic bamboo collection
Bamboo found in an opened chest moves into the inventory without manual transfers.
Toggle key
A key binding turns the collection on or off, with Right Shift as the default.
Client-only operation
Only the player's game runs the mod, so a server does not need it to be installed.
Time saved while sorting
Players spend less time moving bamboo by hand when stocking up for building or farming.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Stocking bamboo for building
Players who gather bamboo from storage chests for scaffolding or decoration can collect it in one go.
Multiplayer play
Because the mod runs only on the client, players can use it on servers without asking the owner to install it.
Who it’s for: Players on Fabric 1.21.5 who often collect bamboo from chests and want the transfer handled automatically, both in single-player and on servers.
How it compares
Visible Chest Names is an open source server-side mod for 1.21.11 that shows chest contents, so it does not move items. AccessSaves is a client-side mod for 1.21.8 – 1.21.11 under the MIT License and is not open source. Carry On Chest runs on client and server for 1.21 – 1.21.11 and also moves chests, but it needs the server to be installed. AutoBamboo covers only the 1.21.5 build, client-side, without a server component.
