Indexer
by AgusTheKing
Indexer is a storage mod that moves items from a central point into the containers that match configured filters, so players do not have to sort chests by hand.
What it does
Items go into one central point, and the controller sends each of them to the matching containers based on the filters set for those containers. Once the filters are set, the base stays organized without manual sorting. The mod also detects furnaces and refills their fuel with coal or charcoal, without any additional configuration.
Indexer is published for Fabric and Forge across 12 release versions, 1.20.1 – 1.21.11, and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. The code is open source under the MIT License. A source code repository and a wiki are linked from the project.
Key features
Central deposit point
Items placed into the central point are sent on to the containers that the filters assign them to.
Filter-based distribution
Each container's filter decides which items it receives, so resources sort themselves into the right places.
Automatic furnace fueling
Furnaces connected to the network are refilled with coal or charcoal automatically, with no setup needed.
Transfer speed upgrades
Basic, Copper, Advanced, Elite and Definitive upgrades raise how many items the controller moves per cycle, from 5 up to 256.

Use cases
Organizing a storage base
A large base with many chests can route incoming resources by filter, so each chest holds one kind of item.
Keeping furnaces running
Smelting setups stay fueled without a player checking each furnace for coal or charcoal.
Who it’s for: Players who run large storage bases and server owners who want chests organized without manual sorting. Players who prefer to sort by hand may not need it.
