Nobody enjoys rummaging through inventories to organize the contents. Why not hand that job down to the gremlins? Magic Chest auto-sorts your inventories while you have them closed, so that when you open them they are completely sorted and it's easy to find your stuff.

How It Works

   1. Stacks of the same material are combined.

   2. Stacks are sorted by item name.

   3. Stacks of the same item name are sorted by Data (i.e. Wool Color)

   4. Stacks with the same name and Data are sorted by Quantity (So the incomplete stack will be last)

  • Note: Chests that are renamed in an anvil or that do not have the default Minecraft inventory title are excluded from sorting.
