How to Use
Source Chest (Sorting Source)
Place a Redstone Block in the first slot (top-left) of a chest.
That chest will become a source chest.
You can create as many source chests as you like.
Destination Chests (Sorting Targets)
For each destination chest, place the designated marker item for the desired category in the first slot (top-left) of the chest.
How Sorting Works
After placing items into a source chest, the next time you open that source chest, items will be transferred if a matching destination chest exists within a 16-block radius.
Example:
If you place armor items into a source chest, they will be transferred to the nearest chest within 16 blocks that has an Iron Chestplate in its first slot (top-left).
Sorting Categories
The available sorting categories and their marker items are as follows:
| Category | Marker Item |
|---|---|
| Terrain Blocks | Dirt |
| Wood | Oak Log |
| Stone & Stone Processing | Stone Bricks |
| Processed Blocks | Glass |
| Materials | Stick |
| Plants | Oak Sapling |
| Flowers | Dandelion |
| Crops | Wheat |
| Food | Steak |

Priority Sorting Items
Items that are commonly obtained in large quantities—such as Arrows—are treated as priority sorting items.
If a chest has the same item placed in its first slot (top-left), that chest will be prioritized over category-based sorting.
The following items are handled as priority sorting items:
- Arrow
- Rotten Flesh
- Bone
- Gunpowder
- String
- Spider Eye
- Ender Pearl
- Glass Bottle
- Redstone
- Glowstone Dust
- Blaze Rod
