Copper Ledgers
by dmendio
Copper Ledgers lets players assign chests to item types through a ledger, so copper golems know where each item belongs.
What it does
A ledger is a book crafted from eight copper ingots and placed on a chest to dedicate it to the item types listed inside. Players open the ledger with a right click, add items by clicking them in the inventory screen, and remove them the same way. Chests without a ledger keep behaving normally, and a double chest can carry one ledger for the whole pair.
Copper golems read the ledgers when they sort items: an item listed in a ledger goes to that chest, and a ledger chest can accept items even when its list is empty. Items that match no ledger fall back to the default behavior. The book can be returned to the crafting table to get its copper back.
The mod runs on Fabric, requires Fabric API, and is published for 26.2 and 26.3, with 1.0.3+26.3 as the latest file for 26.3. Copper Ledgers must be installed on both client and server because it adds custom items and GUIs. The source code is public and the code is released under CC0 1.0 Universal, so it is open source.
Key features
Ledger chests
A chest with a ledger accepts only the item types listed for it, letting players set aside storage for ores or other groups.
Ledger item list
Items are added or removed from a ledger by clicking them in the inventory screen, and the list stays visible when reopened.
Golem sorting
Copper golems move items into the ledger chests that list them, so sorting follows the layout the player planned.
Crafted book
The ledger is a book made from eight copper ingots, and it can be recovered by throwing it at a crafting table.
