Bnnch: Sort
by TraumaER
Bnnch: Sort is a NeoForge inventory sorting mod that arranges items by four methods through a keybind, a slash command or an optional button.
What it does
Sorting runs by keybind, by command, or from an optional button shown on chests, shulker boxes and the player inventory. A hold modifier key sorts the section under the mouse, and the chosen method is shown in an on-screen overlay. Items can be ordered by name, category, count or namespace, in ascending or descending order, and a reverse method flips the current order with one keypress. Partial stacks are merged before each sort.
Alt-clicking a player inventory slot marks it so sorting leaves that slot alone, and locked slots show a colored tint with a tooltip explaining how to release them. Preferences persist across sessions and respawns for each player. The mod runs on the client and the server, so both sides need it. It is published for 1.21.1 only, with the latest NeoForge file 0.2.2+neoforge-1.21.1 dated 2026-02-13, and the source is open under the MIT License.
Key features
Four sorting methods
Items can be ordered by name, category, count or namespace, each in ascending or descending order.
Slot locking
Specific player inventory slots can be held back so sorting skips them, with a tint and tooltip marking each one.
Smart stack merging
Partial stacks of the same item are combined before sorting runs, leaving fewer slots in use.
Sort button in containers
An optional small button appears on compatible containers, showing the current method in its tooltip, and can be disabled in the client config.

Use cases
Tidying a shared chest
Server players can sort a chest by category or count with one click, without issuing commands.
Keeping a personal layout
Per-player preferences keep a chosen method and held slots across deaths and reconnects.
Who it’s for: Players who keep large storage on a NeoForge 1.21.1 server and want sorting that also works on the client. Server owners can use the slash commands and the configuration options to control how sorting behaves.
How it compares
Creative Tabs + is client-side only, under the MIT License and open source, with Fabric, Forge and NeoForge files for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1, and it changes creative tab layout rather than inventory order. AE2Fix is server-side only, under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 and not open source, on NeoForge for 1.21 – 1.21.1, so it addresses a different mod entirely.
