ShulkerSorter

Sort, merge and label your shulker boxes with a single keypress.

ShulkerSorter is a lightweight Fabric mod that automatically organizes all items across your shulker boxes by category. Press one key — your ores go into one box, your redstone into another, your tools into a third. Every box gets a clean label. No more shulker box chaos.

Works in singleplayer, multiplayer survival (with mod on server), and multiplayer creative (no server mod needed).

Features

One-Key Sorting

• Press J to sort all shulker boxes in your inventory instantly
• 11 categories — Redstone, Transport, Nature, Mob Loot, Decoration, Blocks, Tools, Food, Ores, Brewing, Misc
• Stack merging — Partial stacks of the same item are merged before distributing
• Affinity sorting — Boxes keep their dominant category when re-sorting

Overflow Modes

• Fill — Pack items across available boxes when a category has no dedicated box
• Dominant — Each box is dedicated to one category only

Undo

• Press Shift+J to instantly undo the last sort and restore your inventory

Loose Items

• Optionally sort loose items from your inventory into shulker boxes
• Mark items with [KEEP] in their name to exclude them from sorting

Auto-Labeling

• Sorted boxes get named by their category (e.g. "Ores #1", "Blocks #2")
• Labels follow your game language (English, German)
• Add [LOCKED] to a box name to exclude it from sorting

Tooltip Preview

• See shulker box contents without opening them
• Configurable max lines shown in the tooltip

Feedback

• Chat notifications with box and item count
• Sound effects on successful sorting
• Animated "Sorting..." HUD overlay

How It Works

1. Fill some shulker boxes with mixed items
2. Keep the shulker boxes in your inventory
3. Press J — all items are categorized, merged, and distributed
4. Each box gets labeled by its category (e.g. "Tools #1", "Ores #2")
5. Not happy? Press Shift+J to undo

Boxes with [LOCKED] in their name are skipped. Loose items with [KEEP] in their name stay in your inventory.

Perfect For

• Hoarders — Finally organize that inventory full of random shulker boxes
• Builders — Keep building blocks neatly separated from tools and ores
• Miners — Auto-sort your mining haul into clean categories
• Base Organizers — Label and sort boxes before storing them in your base

FAQ

Does this mod work on servers?
Yes! In singleplayer and multiplayer creative it works client-only. For multiplayer survival, install the mod on both client and server — sorting runs server-side via custom packets.

Does it affect performance?
No. ShulkerSorter only runs when you press the sort key.

Can I customize categories?
Yes! Use the in-game config screen or edit shulkersorter.toml to add, remove, reorder, or disable categories with custom item patterns.

What if I don't have enough shulker boxes?
Sorting is cancelled safely — no items are lost.

Can I undo a sort?
Yes! Press Shift+J immediately after sorting to restore your inventory.
