Auto-Sorter
by Duckii Mods
Auto-Sorter groups matching items in the player inventory as they are picked up, and adds a Sort button to the inventory screen for manual sorting.
What it does
When a player picks up an item, the mod moves it next to matching stacks so that similar items stay grouped together. Sorting runs in the background and does not need any command, and the sort can also be triggered on demand from the inventory screen. Players who gather large numbers of items on long trips tend to see their inventory fill with scattered stacks, and this mod is meant to reduce that clutter.
Auto-Sorter is built for Fabric and targets 1.21 – 1.21.11, with the latest file, 1.1.0, covering 1.21.11. It is installed on the player's side alone, so servers need nothing. The code is open source under the Apache License 2.0, and the source and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Automatic sorting on pickup
Items are arranged into groups as soon as they enter the inventory, so no manual step is needed during play.
Sort button in the inventory
A button in the inventory screen lets the player sort all items whenever they choose.
Groups matching items
Stacks of the same item are kept together, which makes specific items easier to find.
Quiet background operation
The sorter stays active without extra prompts, and it runs lightweight alongside normal play.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
1.21.x12 of 12 versions with builds
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
After a long trip
A player returning from a long trip can let the sorter group the loot instead of arranging stacks by hand.
Manual reorganization
The Sort button lets a player tidy the inventory at any moment, for example before a building session.
Who it’s for: Players on Fabric who collect many item types and want the inventory kept in order. Because the mod is client-side only, it suits single-player and multiplayer players alike, since servers need nothing installed.

What the author says
Inventory management can be annoying especially after mining, exploring, or collecting lots of items. Auto Sorter automatically organizes your inventory the moment items enter it, keeping everything grouped, clean, and easy to find.
