Swift Vault Flow Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I set up my first chest with Swift Vault Flow?
Open any chest and look for the Swift Vault Flow menu panel. Drag items into the filter list or select a preset layout that matches your storage type, then assign colors to different zones by clicking the painting tools. Once your rules are saved, press the deposit button to automatically sort matching items from your inventory into their assigned slots.
Can I use this mod with shulker boxes?
Yes, the mod saves your custom filter and color settings directly onto shulker boxes, so your sorting rules stay intact when you move or transport them to different locations.
What's the difference between Area Mode and Trace Mode?
Area Mode lets you paint entire rectangular sections of a chest grid in one click, while Trace Mode lets you draw custom outlines around irregular or non-rectangular slot patterns for more precise organization.
How do I pull items back into my inventory?
Click the pull button in the Swift Vault Flow menu, or press your configured keybind, and the mod will transfer matching items from the chest back into your hotbar or inventory based on your active filter rules.
Can I organize multiple chests with the same rules?
You can manually set up each chest with the same filter and color scheme, but the mod saves settings per-container, so you'll need to either recreate the layout or use preset templates to keep your color coding consistent across multiple chests.
What happens if I try to put the wrong item in a reserved slot?
The mod will reject the item with a clear animation and prevent it from entering that slot, keeping your sorting rules intact.
Does this work with ender chests and minecarts?
Yes, Swift Vault Flow works with vanilla chests, barrels, ender chests, and chest minecarts, so you can organize storage across different container types.
How do I add a whole category of items like 'all wood' without dragging each one?
Use the Tag Import tool in the filter menu to add entire item categories with one click, or use the Search Import feature to quickly find and add matching items through a search bar.
Can I copy colors between slots to keep a consistent theme?
Yes, use the Eyedropper Tool to pick a color from an existing slot and apply it to other slots, which helps maintain a clean visual theme across your chest.
What if I want to turn all the items currently in a chest into filter rules?
Use the Import Extracted tool, which scans all physical items currently stored in the chest and automatically converts them into active filter rules.
