Client Sort Mod is a client-side utility mod that adds versatile inventory sorting and item management for Minecraft Fabric, Forge, NeoForge, and Quilt.
Minecraft inventory cleanup is one of those small tasks that adds up fast: you sort a chest, top off stacks, restock a container, and move items around, then repeat the same work again ten minutes later. Client Sort Mod solves that friction by putting sorting, stacking, restocking, and transfer tools into one place, and its 3,060,107 downloads show that a lot of players have found that approach worth using.
Key Features of Client Sort Mod
- Creative-style sorting order — The sort action arranges items by the same position they use in the creative inventory search tab. That matters because the result feels predictable instead of random, so you can build a mental model for where items will land every time you use it.
- Fill Stacks for partial items — This button tops up incomplete stacks in the other inventory by pulling matching items from the origin inventory. It is especially useful when you want tidy storage or fully stacked supplies before heading out, and it can save a lot of tiny drag-and-drop adjustments.
- Restock without creating new items — Restock refills the other inventory using items already present in the origin inventory, which keeps the behavior controlled and transparent. That is useful when you want to replenish a container or setup without accidentally shuffling in extra items from somewhere else.
- Transfer as much as possible — The transfer action pushes the maximum amount of items from one inventory into another. In practice, that makes quick cleanup and bulk movement much easier when you are emptying a storage block or consolidating materials after a mining trip.
- Slot ignoring and rule overrides — The mod includes slot ignoring plus sorting and matching overrides, so you can fine-tune which slots participate in each action. That kind of control matters when a container has special slots, custom layouts, or spots you never want the sorter to touch.
- Automation and sound feedback — Auto operations and interaction sounds help the mod feel responsive rather than opaque. The sounds give you confirmation when an action triggers, while automation helps reduce repetitive input when you are doing the same inventory task again and again.
- Editor-based customization — The in-game editor is where the mod becomes more than a one-button sorter, because it lets you adjust the behavior instead of living with defaults. It is also where you can enable Fill Stacks for the player inventory, which is disabled there by default for a good reason: it keeps the feature from being too aggressive unless you deliberately turn it on.
