Balanced Crates Quark Sorting
by vomiter
Balanced Crates Quark Sorting fixes the placement of Quark's inventory sorting button when it appears inside the Balanced Crates interface.
What it does
Where Balanced Crates opens its own screen, the Quark sorting button is usually hidden, which takes away a convenience players of crate storage would otherwise use. This mod moves the button slightly so it no longer overlaps the crate interface, and it gives the crate screen its own button. Balanced Crates and Quark are both required. The mod is Forge only, built for Minecraft 1.20.1, and it runs on the client alone, so servers do not need it. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features

Dedicated crate button
The crate screen gets its own sorting button, separate from the one Quark places in the player inventory.

What the author says
Balanced Crates is a neat mod that adds a more practical way to store and manage items, especially if you like having crate-style storage in your world.
