Overview

Inventory Sorter is a lightweight mod designed to keep inventories organized with minimal effort. Unlike traditional sorting mods that simulate manual item movement from the client side, Inventory Sorter is built with a server-side-first philosophy. This design choice ensures that sorting is handled directly by the server, resulting in cleaner networking, reduced desync (ghost items), and compatibility with unmodded (vanilla) clients.

The mod was originally developed by Kyrptonaught and is currently maintained by Meza for modern Minecraft versions, including 1.20.1 and beyond. It is highly compatible with other mods and works across single-player worlds, modpacks, and multiplayer servers.
