SortIt!
SortIt! lets players filter and sort items through a set of added sorting and filtering blocks, aimed at large storage setups.
What it does
Large item-sorter builds made from vanilla hoppers and filters tend to be heavy on resources and hard to get working. This Fabric mod adds a few blocks for item sorting and filtering that keep the vanilla feel of the game. Fabric API is required, and the mod is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only.
Sorters are described as somewhat expensive to run, especially the multi-item variants, which the author positions as mid to late game content. The mod works on the client and the server, so both sides need it. The only published build targets 1.19.2 and is an alpha pre-release, so the author warns that it may break things and that players use it at their own risk. More information is promised for later.
Key features
Item sorting blocks
Blocks that sort incoming items into chosen destinations, so a storage network can route stacks without manual moving.
Item filtering blocks
Blocks that let only selected item types pass, which supports sorting by category in large storage systems.
Multi-item sorters
Sorters that handle several item types at once, intended for later stages of a world with large sorting systems.
Vanilla-like gameplay
The blocks are meant to sit alongside standard hoppers and chests, keeping the feel of the base game.

Use cases
Large storage networks
Players who build big chest rooms can route items by type using the sorting and filtering blocks instead of hand-made hopper chains.
Who it’s for: Players who build large storage systems in survival worlds, and server owners who want sorting blocks on a multiplayer server. The build is an alpha pre-release, so it suits testing rather than stable worlds.

What the author says
Attention!! This mod is currently a pre-release version!! Try it at your own risk. Stuff is bound to break, and things might and will change. This mod tries to alleviate the vanilla problem of having to build somewhat large item-sorter contraptions which can be quite resource-heavy, large and complicated to get…
