AutoSort

Automatic chest sorting for Vintage Story. Drop everything into one chest, close it, and AutoSort tidies each container and routes every item to the right chest across your whole storage room.

Features

• Sort on close — closing a chest you changed re-sorts the network. It's idempotent: an already-sorted chest never reshuffles.
• Semantic grouping — items are classified into 17 categories (weapons, tools, armor, food, materials, mechanical parts, etc.) and laid out top-to-bottom, left-to-right.
• Variant clustering — every variant of an item stays together (all gears, all planks, all fruit…).
• Cross-chest consolidation — one item type ends up in one chest, overflowing to the next only when it's full.
• One virtual storage — connected nearby containers are treated as a single inventory. With room detection (on by default), a closed door keeps two storage rooms separate.
• Chests and jars stay separate — never mixed.
• /sort overlay — an optional read-only HUD showing the contents of the container you're looking at, mirroring the real GUI and updating in real time.

Commands

• /autosort (alias /sort) — toggle the overlay
• /autosort show / /autosort hide (also on / off)

Installation — important

• Server: required. Install the mod on the server — this enables the sorting for everyone, including players who don't have the mod.
• Clients: optional but needed for the overlay. The /sort HUD is client-side, so each player who wants it must also install the mod on their own client. Players without it still benefit from the server-side sorting; they just won't see the overlay.

Fully configurable via&nbsp;<span class="inline-block rounded-[4px] outline-none hide-focus-ring ring-focus" tabindex="0" role="button">ModConfig/autosort.json</span>&nbsp;(radius, room restriction, specialisation threshold, supported container types&hellip;).
