Inventive Inventory

by Strobel273

Inventive Inventory sorts a player's inventory on a key press, keeps locked slots out of sorting and refilling, and saves hotbar and offhand layouts as profiles.

What it does

Pressing the sort key rearranges the inventory into order. Holding the Advanced Operation Key while sorting keeps the item on the cursor. Holding that key and clicking a slot locks it, and locked slots are skipped by sorting, auto-refilling and profile loading. Items picked up or quick-moved are not placed into a locked slot and are dropped instead. Profiles store the hotbar and offhand state so a layout can be loaded again later, managed from the Profile Screen, opened by holding V, or with commands.

Key features

  1. Sorting on a key press

    One key press sorts the inventory, and the Advanced Operation Key keeps the cursor stack in place during the sort.

  2. Slot locking

    Holding the Advanced Operation Key and clicking a slot keeps its items out of sorting, refilling and profile loading.

  3. Inventory profiles

    Hotbar and offhand states can be saved, loaded, overwritten and deleted from the Profile Screen or with commands.

  4. Auto-refill

    The current stack is topped up from matching items in the inventory, including buckets, bowls, bottles and tools.

  5. Item counter

    The hotbar shows the total of each identical item in the inventory, counted in items or stacks.

How it compares

Full comparison

Inventory Sorting is open source under the MIT License, with Fabric and NeoForge files for 1.19 – 26.3, and it is server required with the client optional. SimplesorterR is client-side only for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, covering 1.20.1 – 26.3, and its code is under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Sorty is client-side only for Fabric alone, with files for 1.21.4 – 26.2 under the MIT License.

Questions

Does Inventive Inventory need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API is a required dependency on Fabric. Mod Menu is optional and only adds a button to open the config screen.

Does the server need Inventive Inventory?

No. It is installed on the player's side alone, so servers need nothing.

Which version range does the mod support?

Fabric builds cover 1.20.1 – 26.3, and the NeoForge file is 1.0.0 for 1.21.8, so NeoForge coverage is narrower than Fabric.
