Collation

by AstralSorceror

Collation sorts and distributes items across several chests that the player selects, so players with stock spread over many containers can manage it from one set of selections.

FabricClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.20.1

What it does

Players pick a group of chests, and the mod sorts their contents and spreads items between them according to quantity. The selected chests are outlined so the set stays visible while working. A default key starts the sort, and once the chests are chosen, pressing F7 sorts the items.

Collation runs on Fabric for Minecraft 1.20.1 and needs Fabric API. It is client and server, so a server and every player on it need the mod. Files were first published on 2026-04-19 and the latest build is 1.0.2 for 1.20.1, released 2026-04-24. The code is open source under the MIT License.

Key features

  1. Multi-chest sorting

    Items from several selected chests are sorted and redistributed among them in one action.

  2. Quantity-based distribution

    Items are spread between the chosen containers according to how many of each item they hold.

  3. Outlined selection

    Each selected chest is clearly outlined, so the chests included in a sort can be identified at a glance.

  4. Default sort key

    A default key selects chests, and F7 runs the sort once the selection is made.
