Quicksort
by pcal43
Quicksort adds a Quicksorter block that distributes the items placed into it among nearby chests that already hold matching items, so a workshop stays organized with little manual effort.
What it does
A Quicksorter is created by placing a regular chest on top of a block. Items put into the Quicksorter are moved automatically into nearby chests that contain the same items, as long as the receiving chests are visible from the Quicksorter. Storage areas can be built around a central block, such as emerald or diamond, to group chests together.
Server owners can define their own Quicksort chest types and edit the configuration file, following the instructions in the default config. The mod adds new blocks on the server, and it works with vanilla clients, so players join without installing anything. Quicksort requires Fabric API on Fabric, and the NeoForge build runs without further dependencies.
Quicksort is published for Fabric and NeoForge across 25 release versions, 1.19 – 26.3. The latest Fabric and NeoForge files are 0.26.0+26.3 for 26.3, released on 2026-09-24. The mod is released under the MIT License and is open source, with its source code and issue tracker publicly available.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players who keep large item stockpiles in chests and want sorting without manual transfers, and server owners who want an automated storage setup that does not require client-side installation.
How it compares
Magic Sorting System reworked is server required, and the client can stay without it. It is released under the MIT License and covers 1.17 – 26.3 on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, where Quicksort runs on the server alone. Sorty only changes the player's side, is open source under the MIT License, and has Fabric files for 1.21.4 – 26.2. Inventory Extended is open source under the Apache License 2.0, and either side can run it while neither needs it.
