Smart Inventory
by guldam
Smart Inventory adds a compact panel beside container screens that sorts, deposits, withdraws and tidies items in one click.
What it does
When a player opens a chest, barrel, ender chest, shulker box, hopper or dispenser, a small side tab opens a panel that matches the vanilla look. From the panel the player picks an action and the items in the container, the player's inventory, or both are reordered, stacked or cleared without dragging anything. The panel slides out beside the screen, so the player never leaves the window.
Localization is included, and the interface follows the Minecraft language setting automatically. The panel adapts to each container type and displays the matching icon. Smart Inventory requires Fabric API and is published for Fabric only, covering 26.1.2 alone. Client and server both need it, so a server running it must be paired with players who also install it.
Key features
Sort and stack
One click reorders the container contents and merges partial stacks of the same item.
Deposit and withdraw
Matching items can be moved between the container and the player's inventory in one action.
Clean up whole inventory
The same actions apply to the player's own inventory, so both sides of the screen can be tidied.
Supported containers
Chests, barrels, ender chests, shulker boxes, hoppers and dispensers all open the panel with a matching icon.
Translated interface
The panel text is translated and follows the language set in Minecraft.

Use cases
Crowded storage rooms
Players with many chests can sort and consolidate stacks without moving each item by hand.
Shulker box packing
A shulker box can be opened and tidied from the same panel used for chests and barrels.
Who it’s for: Players who manage large item stores in survival or creative worlds, and server owners who want the same storage tools for every player on a Fabric server.
How it compares
EasySort is client-side only, open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, and published for 26.2 – 26.3, so it works on a client alone. Inventory Enhancer is also client-side only, but it is not open source, uses the Apache License 2.0 and targets 26.2. Inventory Manager: Smart Storage shares the client and server environment of Smart Inventory, is not open source and is published under All rights reserved for 26.1.2 – 26.2.
