AutoInventorySorter
by devxkamlesh
With AutoInventorySorter installed, one press of R sorts the player's inventory by item type, rarity, name, quantity or durability.
What it does
The mod is a client-side Fabric mod that reorganizes the inventory in a single keypress. Pressing R sorts everything, grouping blocks, tools and food together. A chest or container opened at the same time can be sorted in the same action, and the mod also works on personal inventories, barrels and shulker boxes. Because it runs entirely on the client, no server installation is needed, and it functions on vanilla, Paper and other Fabric servers.
Hotbar slots can be locked so that a chosen sword, pickaxe, axe or Totem of Undying stays in its place and is never displaced by automatic sorting. When a locked slot's item is used up, the mod pulls a replacement from the inventory. Sorting modes, slot locking and excluded items are configured in-game through the Hotbar tab in Mod Menu, and an auto-sort option or an in-inventory sort button can be enabled as well.
The mod is published for Fabric only, across seven release versions 1.21.5 – 1.21.11, with 1.0.0 for 1.21.8 as the latest file. It is released under the MIT License and is open source, and both its source code and issue tracker are public.
