Auto Chest Sorter


Overview

This add-on for Minecraft Bedrock Edition automatically sorts items in chests by category.

Without using redstone circuits or complex mechanisms, items are organized automatically simply by placing them into a chest.


Supported Environment

  • Minecraft Bedrock Edition
  • Supported versions: 1.20 and later

Main Features

  • Automatically transfers items to nearby chests whose category matches the item.
  • Achievements are disabled in single-player worlds, but when installed on a server, achievements remain enabled.

Installation

  1. Download the mcpack file from the link below.
  2. Open the file to import it into Minecraft.
  3. Open World Settings → Behavior Packs, then tap “Activate” for Auto Chest Sorter.

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:

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
