Villager Chest Organizer: A Chest sorter mod
Villager Chest Organizer lets players hire villagers as dedicated organizers that sort items from a source container into matching chests, barrels and fallback storage.
What it does
A hired organizer takes items from a chosen source container and moves them into storage by item frame, by tag sign, or into a fallback container for anything unmatched. Hiring costs a configurable currency item, and each hired villager receives a unique name such as Organizer 1 or Organizer 2. Hiring also writes a signed linked book for that specific organizer, and that book is later used to assign the organizer a source container with a feather.
The mod runs on Forge for Minecraft 1.20.1 and needs both the server and every player to have it installed, since it is classed as client and server. Its gameplay settings are server-side and cover the main behavior of organizers, while the sorting uses the real carried inventory rather than fake transfers.

Use cases
Storage rooms
A storage room with a source barrel of mixed items can be split into wheat, log and other chests, with leftovers going to a fallback chest.
Multiplayer bases
Server owners can set the gameplay options centrally, so every player's organizers follow the same rules.
Who it’s for: Players who keep large storage rooms and want items sorted without manual transfers, and server owners who want the sorting rules configured in one place.

What the author says
This mod adds hireable worker NPCs that automatically move items from a chosen source container into nearby labeled storage. Instead of building complicated automation lines, you can hire an Organizer, assign it to a source chest, barrel, shulker box, hopper, or other supported storage, and let it sort items by item…
