Frosty's Sorting Depot
by FROSTYTRIX
Frosty's Sorting Depot lets players set up mechanical item sorting with a controller, linker nodes and filter cards placed in the world.
What it does
Items pushed into a Depot Controller hub are routed to destinations set by filter cards and priority stamps. A linker node is placed against a chest, barrel, shulker box or other storage block, and a filter card inside it decides what reaches that inventory. Items flow first to the matching destination with the highest priority, so a configured network can sort a base without manual transfers.
The mod is a lightweight sorting network built on the standard NeoForge item capability, so it works with vanilla containers and modded storage such as Create vaults and Mekanism crates. Routes take items from the hopper or dropper above a node, and one controller can drive several inventories. The mod is open source under the MIT License and runs on NeoForge for 1.21 – 26.2, with files for 26.2 as the latest.
Key features
Depot Controller hub
A controller receives items from hoppers, droppers and pipes and distributes them to connected inventories.
Filter cards
A card can match a single item, a tag such as minecraft:logs, or everything left over through an overflow setting.
Priority stamps
Stamps set a priority from 1 to 5 per destination, and higher priorities fill first.
In-world configuration
Right-clicking a card opens a new screen where its mode and entries are set, without commands.
Routing speed
A linker node routes items from the hopper's speed and pulls inventory above it into the network.

Use cases
Base storage sorting
A base with many chests can send each item type to a fixed chest through one controller.
Overflow storage
An overflow filter catches leftover items so nothing jams the network when specific destinations are full.
Who it’s for: Players building automated storage on NeoForge who want routing without command blocks. Server owners can run it, since the environment is client and server.
