ChestSort can automatically sort every chest, barrel, etc. after you have used it. Every player can enable or disable this feature if desired with the simple command /sort (or /chestsort). Players can also sort their own inventory using the command /invsort, or automatically using /invsort on|off. You can also use hotkeys (middle-click, double-click, shift-click and shift+right-click) within player inventories, chests etc. to have them sorted, if you do not wish automatic sorting.

The chest contents are sorted by category and/or alphabetically and stackable things will be stacked. By default, items will be put before blocks. Automatic sorting will work with chests, enderchests, shulker boxes, barrels, minecarts with chest and player inventories. The same applies to using hotkeys.

Wool, Terracotta and other dyeable blocks will also be sorted by color, tools by their material, etc. The sorting algorithm can be changed. There is absolutely no chance of item loss / duplication or metadata corruption! Guaranteed!

By default, sorting is disabled. Players need the "chestsort.use" permission to use chest sorting, or the "chestsort.use.inventory" permission to sort their inventory.

If a player uses a chest for the first time after logging in, they will be shown a text on how to enable automatic chest sorting if they have the permission to use ChestSort. Sorting can also be disabled for certain worlds.


All messages are customizable. Includes English, Chinese, Chinese (Traditional), Dutch, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Turkish language.

ChestSort works with all versions between 1.8 and latest! (When using versions older than 1.14, please use ChestSort 9.5.1)

Permissions
chestsort.use
Allows usage of automatic chest sorting and the /sort (and /chestsort) command.

chestsort.use.inventory
Allows usage of automatic inventory sorting and the /invsort (and /isort) command.

chestsort.reload
Allows to reload the config using the /sort reload (and /chestsort reload) command.

There are more permissions, e.g. for each individual, but they are all enabled by default. See config.yml for more information.

If you don't want to use a permissions plugin, you can also set "use-permissions" to false in the config.yml to allow every player to use ChestSort.

Hotkeys
You can use hotkeys to sort inventories without having to enter commands. This is useful if you only want to sort chests from time to time without having to enable the automatic sorting, or if you quickly want to sort your player inventory. Each hotkey can be enabled/disabled in the config.yml. By default, all hotkeys are enabled. Additionally, players can enable/disable each hotkey individually by running /chestsort hotkeys

There are also two hotkeys to quickly fill/empty a chest/barrel/etc. from your inventory by left-clicking (filling) or right-clicking (emptying) outside of the chest's inventory.

Sorting Hotkeys
Middle click
Middle click (mousewheel) on ANY inventory slot
Important: Middle-Click does not work in MC 1.18+ because of client changes. There won't be any errors, middle-click will simply not be detected. I will change this to a different hotkey soon for 1.18+ users.

Shift click
Shift + left click on any EMPTY inventory slot

Double click
Double click on any EMPTY inventory slot

Shift + right click
Shift + right click on any EMPTY inventory slot

Additional Hotkeys
Left-Click a container
Sorts the clicked container (chest, barrel, shulker box, etc.)

Left-Click outside inventory
Puts all matching stuff (except hotbar) into the chest, barrel etc.

Double-Left-Click outside inventory
Puts all items (except hotbar) into the chest, barrel etc.

Right-Click outside inventory
Puts matching items from the chest, barrel etc. into your inventory

Double-Right-Click outside inventory
Empties the whole chest, barrel etc. into your inventory



Video & Screenshots

WorldGuard and other protection plugins
ChestSort will only sort chests that the player has access to. In other words: when some other plugin like WorldGuard prevents access to the chest, then ChestSort will not sort this chest.
This applies to all plugins that cancel the InventoryOpenEvent, as ChestSort will only sort when the InventoryCloseEvent is called.
Furthermore, chests will not be sorted if the player is a spectator or in adventure mode.

Please contact us here or at github when you encounter any bugs or have any ideas for improvements.

If your language is not yet supported, just change the messages in the config file yourself. We will be happy to include the language in the next update if you send us your translation.

ChestSort uses bStats to gather Metrics. You can disable this by editing the plugins/bstats/config.yml file. View the statistics at https://bstats.org/plugin/bukkit/ChestSort

Please note that sorting in versions before 1.13 can be a bit random sometimes, because some item names were inconsistent (e.g. acacia stairs in 1.8 are named "acacia_stairs", while oak planks are just called "planks".) The sorting algorithm has been optimized for 1.13+ only.

The sorting algorithm is extremely fast and should not have any effect on your server performance. Sorting a double chest takes about a quarter of a millisecond.

3rd party Plugins
ChestSort can hook into certain 3rd party plugins if they are installed on your server to allow better sorting for custom items.

CrackShot
All CrackShot weapons will be grouped together and will be put into the default weapons category.

InventoryPages
ChestSort will ignore the "Next Page" and "Prev. Page" buttons when you have InventoryPages installed, so that your GUI does not get messed up.

Better Shulker Boxes / Minepacks / ShulkerPacks
Sort your backpacks just like every other chest! Should work with almost every backpack plugin.

Plugins using GUI inventories
ChestSort tries to detect GUI inventories created by 3rd party plugins. If this detection fails, please message me at GitHub so that I can add support for that plugin.

API for plugin developers
ChestSort provides a method to sort any Inventory instance, using the advanced grouping features that ChestSort provides! Read more about the API here.

If your plugin uses the ChestSort API, feel free to message me and I will be happy to list it here.

Default configuration
The configuration file is automatically generated if it does not exist. On every new ChestSort release, the config file will be updated to include the newest options. Your changes will be kept.

You can view the default configuration file here.
