Stardew Chest Buttons
Stardew Chest Buttons brings two of Stardew Valley's chest-screen buttons to Minecraft, one to deposit matching items and one to tidy the contents.
What it does
On opening a chest, double chest, barrel or shulker box, a pair of icon buttons shows up along the screen's left edge. One deposits every item in the player's inventory that matches an item already stored in the container. The other sorts the chest and consolidates partial stacks so the contents are arranged neatly. Both actions happen in a single click, which removes the need to drag items one stack at a time.
The buttons are drawn on the client, while each item move is checked by the server before it takes effect. The server validates the transfer, so the mod is cheat-safe and the chest contents stay consistent for every player. Stardew Chest Buttons needs Fabric API, and it runs on Fabric Loader only. Both the client and the server must run it, and on the client alone the buttons never show.
Key features
Deposit matching items
One click moves items from the inventory into the open container wherever a matching stack already exists.
Sort and consolidate
The tidy button merges partial stacks and sorts the whole chest in one action.
Works on common containers
The buttons appear on chests, double chests, barrels and shulker boxes.
Server-checked transfers
The client draws the buttons, while the server validates every item move before the change is applied.

Use cases
Storage-heavy survival bases
Players who keep many chests full of mixed items can refill and reorganize them without dragging each stack by hand.
Multiplayer storage hubs
Server owners running shared storage can give every player the same one-click deposit and sort actions, with the server checking each transfer.
Who it’s for: Players who manage large storage systems in survival or multiplayer worlds, and server owners who want shared chests to stay tidy.
How it compares
Chest Sort is a client-side only Fabric mod under the All rights reserved license, not open source, with files for 1.21 – 26.2. Inventory Enhancer is also client-side only, under the Apache License 2.0, not open source, and published only for 26.2. Stardew Chest Buttons differs by needing both the client and the server, since its server validates each move, and it is under the MIT License, not open source.

What the author says
No more dragging items one stack at a time. Deposit and tidy a chest in a single click. Fully server-aware. The buttons are drawn client-side, but every item move is validated on the server, so it's completely cheat-safe. The mod is required on both the client and the server; if only the client has it, the buttons…
