A client-side Fabric mod that instantly organizes your Minecraft inventory with one keypress.
No clutter. No digging. Just press R and everything is in its place.



AutoInventorySorter automatically organizes your Minecraft inventory. Press R to sort everything — items are grouped by type, rarity, name, quantity, or durability depending on the mode you choose. It also locks specific hotbar slots so your sword and pickaxe never get displaced, and automatically refills consumed items like food, torches, and arrows.
It runs entirely on the client side — no server installation needed, works on any server including vanilla, Paper, and Fabric.
Press R to instantly sort your inventory or any open chest/container. The entire operation completes in under 5ms with no lag or disruption.

Lock specific hotbar slots to always hold certain item types. Defaults:
Locked items automatically return to their assigned slot every time sorting runs. Fully customizable via config.
When you consume the last item from a hotbar slot, AutoInventorySorter immediately pulls a replacement from your inventory. Supports:
Checks every 0.25 seconds, runs silently in the background.
Exclude specific items or inventory slots from sorting entirely. Useful for maps, compasses, named items, or any item you want to keep in a fixed position.

This mod is 100% client-side. It does not require installation on the server and works with:
Always check a server's specific rules on client mods before using.
Does this work with Forge or NeoForge?
Not yet. Fabric only for now. A Forge/NeoForge port is on the roadmap.
Does it support modded items?
Yes. The sort system works with any item, vanilla or modded.
Can I change the sort key from R?
Yes. Edit sortKey in the config file, or use Mod Menu if installed.
Will this cause issues in multiplayer?
No. The mod only reorganizes your local inventory and does not send any extra packets to the server.
