About ChestSort (+ API)
From SpigotMCSorts your chests + inventory! Supports WorldGuard etc. (100 % customizable + auto config update)
Tired of sorting your chests?
Let's spend less time on organizing, and more on playing!
When using Minecraft 1.15 or below, please use version 11.5.6
When using Minecraft 1.13 or below, please use version 9.5.1
The chest contents are sorted by category and/or alphabetically and stackable things will be stacked. By default, items will be put before blocks. Automatic sorting will work with chests, enderchests, shulker boxes, barrels, minecarts with chest and player inventories. The same applies to using hotkeys.
Wool, Terracotta and other dyeable blocks will also be sorted by color, tools by their material, etc. The sorting algorithm can be changed. There is absolutely no chance of item loss / duplication or metadata corruption! Guaranteed!
By default, sorting is disabled. Players need the "chestsort.use" permission to use chest sorting, or the "chestsort.use.inventory" permission to sort their inventory.
If a player uses a chest for the first time after logging in, they will be shown a text on how to enable automatic chest sorting if they have the permission to use ChestSort. Sorting can also be disabled for certain worlds.
All messages are customizable. Includes English, Chinese, Chinese (Traditional), Dutch, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Turkish language.
ChestSort works with all versions between 1.8 and latest! (When using versions older than 1.14, please use ChestSort 9.5.1)
