LogiChest
by StarlitLuna
LogiChest is a Forge storage mod that moves items between chests through Hubs and Sorters, with whitelist grids that decide what each Sorter pulls and routes.
What it does
Hubs, Sorters and Link Keys let a player connect several chests into one routing network. A Hub is placed next to a chest that holds the ingredients for a Link Key, and the Hub crafts the key automatically from those ingredients over a set amount of time. Each Sorter is then linked to a Hub with a key and pulls items from the inventory it touches, the way a hopper does, but only the items matching its whitelist. The whitelist is a 5×2 grid, and any slot left empty means that slot passes nothing.
The mod suits storage rooms, production lines and any base with several chests, where sorting by hand takes time. Multiple Sorters linked to the same Hub share transfers fairly among active Sorters through round-robin routing. Server owners can change the crafting time, the number of Sorters per Hub, the transfer rate and the base delay between routing attempts in the Forge config file. The mod is installed on the client and on the server, and files are published for Forge across six game versions under All rights reserved, not open source.
Key features
Hubs and Link Keys
A Hub crafts Link Keys automatically from items dropped into the chest beside it, and each key ties Sorters to that Hub.
Whitelist Sorters
A Sorter's 5×2 grid decides exactly which items it routes, and empty slots let nothing through.
Round-robin routing
Several Sorters linked to one Hub take turns, so transfers spread evenly across all active Sorters.
Vanilla-style interface
The screens follow the look of the vanilla furnace and chest, with progress indicators and tooltips on each control.
Adjustable behavior
Crafting time, Sorters per Hub, transfer rates and routing delay can all be tuned in the config file.

How it compares
Item Sorter is an open source Forge mod for 1.20.1 that runs on the client and server, licensed under the MIT License. Hopper+ is a Forge client-side only mod for a range of 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 under All rights reserved, so only players install it. LogiChest also covers six game versions with Hubs and Sorters, but it needs both sides and is not open source.
