CleanContainer
by hasteinMC
CleanContainer sorts the contents of chests, barrels, shulker boxes, minecart chests and ender chests, and can also sort the player's own inventory.
What it does
Sorting works on the player's inventory and on the storage containers they open, so stacks of the same item are gathered together. A quick sort key arranges the player's inventory with one press, and the key can be changed in the game's controls settings. Transfer actions move items between a container and the inventory, and enderchest transfers work with the player's inventory as well.
The mod also offers a hotbar lock that keeps hotbar items from being moved or sorted, and a setting in the game options that changes where the UI buttons sit. Its bug fixes address potions that were duplicated during sorting and item durability that was duplicated.
CleanContainer is licensed under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later and is not open source. It needs Fabric API. The server and every player need the mod installed. Files target 1.20.4 – 1.21.1, with 1.5.0 for 1.21.1 as the latest release, published on 2024-09-28.
Key features
Container sorting
Chests, barrels, shulker boxes, minecart chests and ender chests can be sorted in place, grouping matching items together.
Player inventory sorting
The player's own inventory can be sorted separately from any container that is open at the same time.
Quick sort key
A key binding in the game controls triggers a quick sort of the player's inventory, and the binding can be changed.
Hotbar lock
A toggle keeps hotbar items from being moved or sorted, so a set layout stays in place during sorting.
