SortCraft

by Nayruden

SortCraft is a Storage mod that sorts items from a chest into other chests by the text on signs, without redstone.

FabricNeoForgeServer-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.21 – 26.3

What it does

Chests are linked by placing a sign on each one. An input chest holds the items to be sorted, and every other chest carries a sign whose lines name the category it should receive. A player right-clicks the input chest and its items move to the matching chests at once, so no hopper or redstone circuit is needed to set the sorting up.

Categories are defined in simple YAML files on the server, and sign text must match a category name exactly. Server owners who prefer not to edit files by hand can build their categories visually with the companion webapp CategoryCraft. Because the mod works from item data, it can also sort modded items loaded from mod jar files.

SortCraft is server-side only: the server needs it, and players join without installing anything. It is published for Fabric and NeoForge across 15 release versions, 1.21 – 26.3, and the code is open source under the MIT License. A quickstart video and a concise quick reference are linked from the project, with a full example for server setup.

Key features

  1. Redstone-free sorting

    Items move from an input chest to labeled chests on a right-click, with no hoppers or redstone wiring.

  2. Sign-based categories

    Each target chest is labeled with a sign whose text matches a category name, such as ores or tools.

  3. YAML category configuration

    Categories are written in plain YAML files, so server owners can keep their sorting rules in version control.

  4. Visual category builder

    The companion CategoryCraft webapp lets owners build and organize categories without editing the files directly.

  5. Modded item support

    Items from loaded mod jar files can be sorted into categories, not only vanilla items.
