Kit Sorter
Kit Sorter is a Fabric utility that sorts stacked items in nearby storage containers when a player presses a bound key.
What it does
The mod was intended for faction and geopolitical servers, where players keep large stocks of items in chests and barrels. A key press sorts the containers in a storage room, and the sorted items are grouped by part sets such as full armour and weapons. Sorting can be set to run horizontally instead of vertically, and the container window opens around the deposit so players can see the result.
Cloth Config API is required, and its menu holds the settings: which container types are skipped, such as hoppers and barrels, the boundaries of a storage room so unrelated nearby chests are left alone, and the speed at which items move and containers open, so a server does not kick the player for sending too many actions at once. The client-side environment means only the player's client needs the mod. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. Files exist for 1.21.1, 1.21.7 and 1.21.8, with 1.85 for 1.21.8 as the latest Fabric build from 2025-12-21.
Key features
Sorting by key press
Pressing the bound key sorts the items in the storage room the player is standing in.
Part set grouping
Items are sorted into sets such as full armour and weapons, so matching kits end up together.
Configurable boundaries
A storage room can be bounded so that chests outside its area are not touched.
Container type filter
Specific container types, such as hoppers and barrels, can be excluded from sorting.
Speed and direction settings
Item movement speed can be lowered, and sorting can run horizontally rather than vertically.

Use cases
Who it’s for: The mod suits players on survival and faction servers who keep large storage of armour and weapons. Server owners who consider automated sorting cheating can decide for their own server whether to allow it, and the mod carries an obligatory warning about this.
How it compares
Kit Sorter runs on the client alone, with files for 1.21.1 – 1.21.8, and is not open source. Auto-Sorter is also client-side only and covers 1.21 – 1.21.11, but it is open source under the Apache License 2.0. ShadowKits is server-side only and covers 1.21 – 1.21.3, so it needs no client install and is not open source under its GNU General Public License v3.0 only.
