Getting started

Sort a chest in one click, put everything away, install Sorted and set your keys.

Sort in one click #

A chest full of mixed items sorted with one click
  1. Open a chest. Above it, on the right, is the sort button. Click it.
  2. Press E for your inventory. Below it is a row of buttons: search on the left, and quick fill, quick stack and sort on the right. See The buttons.
  3. Press R to sort your inventory. Your hotbar is left alone.
  4. Walk up to your chests, open your inventory and click Quick Stack. See Quick Stack.

  • On Fabric, Fabric Loader 0.16 or newer.
  • Mod Menu is optional, for a settings button in the Fabric mod list. /sorted config opens the settings without it.

Install #

  1. Install Fabric Loader or NeoForge for your Minecraft version.
  2. Download Sorted from Modrinth, and what the table above lists for your version. Pick the Sorted file for your Minecraft version and loader.
  3. Put the files in the mods folder of your Minecraft folder.
  4. Start the game and open a world.

With the Modrinth app or another launcher that reads Modrinth, installing Sorted picks the right file and pulls in what it needs for you.

Minecraft 1.21 itself isn't supported: play 1.21.1, which joins the same servers.

Every Minecraft version has the same Sorted: the same buttons, screens and settings. Pick the file for your version on Modrinth; there is one for each.

Sorted comes in English, Dutch, German, French and Russian, and follows the language you play in. The Russian translation was made by a member of the community.

The walkthrough #

Sorted has a short walkthrough of the buttons, Find Items, keeping items and the keys. Type /sorted onboarding, or press Start next to Walkthrough in the Help tab of the settings. On its last page you can click a key to change it.

Keys #

  • R sorts your inventory while an inventory or chest screen is open.
  • ` opens the search for items in your chests. See Search.
  • The keep list has no key until you set one. /sorted keep opens it too. See The keep list.

Set or change a key #

  1. Press Esc and open Options..., Controls... and Key Binds..., in that order.
  2. Scroll to the Inventory group. The Sorted keys are there: Sorted: Open Container Search, Sorted: Quick Sort Inventory and Sorted: Open Keep List.
  3. Click the button next to one, for example Sorted: Quick Sort Inventory, and press the key you want.
  4. A key shown in red is also used by something else. Pick another one, or change the other one.

Settings #

Type /sorted config in chat, or open Sorted from Mod Menu or the NeoForge mod list. Every option is on the Settings page.

Nothing on the server #

Sorted is client-side only. It works on vanilla servers, Realms and in modpacks, and needs nothing installed on the server.

On a server, Sorted moves items with the same clicks you would make by hand, at a limited speed. Some servers do not allow inventory mods. Check the rules. See Servers.
