Tidy Storage Logistics Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I start using the mod after installing it?
Open your player inventory near any chest or storage container and look for the on-screen buttons (Q, R, D). The mod includes an animated tutorial book in your inventory that walks you through every control and feature—read it first to learn the basics.
What's the difference between Quick Stack, Restock, and Dump?
Quick Stack (Q) sends matching items from your inventory into containers that already hold them. Restock (R) fills up partial stacks in your hotbar and inventory using supplies from nearby containers. Dump (D) moves all unlocked items into any available container space.
How far away do containers need to be for the mod to detect them?
The mod scans a configurable range around you—check the storage settings screen in your inventory to adjust the scan distance and see which containers are being detected in real time.
Can I lock specific items so they never get moved?
Yes. Press Alt and left-click any inventory slot to lock it; locked slots won't be affected by Quick Stack, Restock, or Dump actions. Lock your tools, weapons, or valuables to keep them safe.
How do I craft recipes using items stored in nearby chests?
Open your recipe book or a recipe viewer mod, find the recipe you want, and click it—the mod will automatically pull matching ingredients from nearby containers to complete the craft without you opening each chest.
What containers does this mod work with?
The mod works with standard chests, barrels, shulker boxes, and many modded storage containers. Use the container whitelist and blacklist menu in your settings to include or exclude specific block types from detection.
Why aren't my items being sent to a specific container?
Check that the container is within your scan range, that it's not blacklisted in your filters, and that it either already contains matching items (for Quick Stack) or has empty space (for Dump). Containers highlighted with colored outlines are valid targets.
Can I see which containers the mod is targeting before I use Quick Stack or Dump?
Yes—the mod highlights destination containers with colored outlines and shows action-bar messages telling you where items are being sent, so you always know what's happening.
Does this mod cause lag or performance issues?
The mod is designed to be lightweight, but if you experience slowdowns, try reducing the scan range in your storage settings or using container filters to limit which blocks are scanned.
What happens if I lock a slot but then try to Dump all items?
Locked slots are completely protected—Dump will skip them and only move unlocked items into nearby containers, so your locked gear stays exactly where it is.
