Settings

Every setting, what it does and its default.

Open the settings with /sorted config, from Mod Menu or from the NeoForge mod list. They are saved in config/sorted.json.

The settings are Sorted's own screen, in the Minecraft look to start with. Look: Minecraft switches to the VoxelSprout look, dark, light or the same as your computer, and the choice counts for every VoxelSprout mod you have. Both show the same settings, and the search at the top looks in every tab. A setting you changed has a mark after its name, and so does its tab. Groups few people change start folded away: click a group's name to open it.

Presets #

Each tile sets a few settings at once, and pointing at one shows which. How Sorted sorts: When you ask or On its own. What Sorted remembers: What you open, Everything nearby or Nothing. What labels show: Just the name, A quick look or Everything.

Sorting #

Click to sort containers default Auto: What a plain click on a container's sort button does: Auto picks the layout from the contents, or always Compact, Columns or Rows. Your inventory always sorts compact. See Sorting chests.
Merge partial stacks default On: Before sorting, combine partial stacks of the same item, so only one partial stack is left.
Kept items stay in their slot default Off: When you sort your inventory, items on the keep list stay in the slot they are in, and the rest is sorted around them. See The keep list.
Auto-sort containers on open default Off: Sort a chest, barrel or shulker box when you open it, in the layout you used on it last.
Restore inventory layout after death default On: Put picked-up items back in the slots they were in. See After you die.
Auto-sort inventory on pickup default Off: Sort your inventory again after a pickup, once you have sorted it by hand.
Re-sort inventory after moving items default On: Sort your inventory again after Pull All, Quick Empty or Quick Fill. Off keeps your own layout: incoming items only top up your stacks and fill empty slots.
Actions per tick default 15: How many clicks a sort or transfer sends per tick. 0 is no limit. See Servers.
Modded storage screens default Empty: Screens from other mods that get the chest buttons, by id. somemod:* adds all of that mod. See Containers from other mods.
Modded storage blocks default Empty: Blocks from other mods that open a plain chest screen, by id, so Quick Stack and Quick Fill from your inventory use them. See Containers from other mods.

Reset the keep list: Back to the two rules Sorted starts with: ender chests and elytra.

In the world #

Labels on containers, and the light Sorted draws around them. A preview of your labels stays at the top while you scroll. See Container labels.

Labels on default Shulker boxes: Which containers show labels: Chests (and trapped chests), Barrels and Shulker boxes.
Contents on shulker items default On: The main item on the lid of a shulker box item.
Show default Items + name: Items, Name, Items + name, or Items, name if empty.
Items shown default 4: How many items, the most common first, up to 9. 0 shows the name only.

Outline label text default On: A dark outline around the name, so it reads on light containers.
Rotate to face player default On: Labels on top of a container turn to face you.
Show on the side you face default Chests: Move the label to the side you stand at, per kind of container.

Container cache default On: Remember what is in the containers you open. See Chest memory.
Contents in Jade and WTHIT default On: Their tooltip on a container also shows what Sorted remembers is in it.
Auto-scan nearby containers default Off: Open and close containers within reach that you can see, to keep the memory up to date.
Auto-scan range default 4 blocks: How far auto-scan looks, 2 to 4 blocks, so it stays within your normal reach.

Rescan when others open default On: On a server, mark a chest out of date when another player opens it.
Open every chest before stacking default Off: On a server, Quick Stack reads every chest in reach first, not only the ones Sorted has no recent record of. See Quick Stack.
Clear this world's cache: Forget every container in this world or on this server.

Servers #
