Chest sorting

Vanilla gives you no quick way to tidy a chest short of dragging items by hand. Sunday Market fixes that from two directions: a sort action built into linked chests, and a Sorter golem that keeps your containers organized on its own. Neither touches a plain, unlinked vanilla chest — sorting lives where your storage is already connected.

Sort a linked chest

When you link chests together they share one inventory, and that shared view comes with a sort action. Open the link, trigger the sort, and the contents reshuffle in seconds — similar items merge into full stacks, so no more half-stacks of cobble scattered across three rows.

It's on-demand: you sort when you ask, and the result comes out predictable. See linked chests for how to connect containers in the first place.

Let a golem do it

For hands-off tidying, put a copper golem on Sorter duty. Bind it to a run of containers and it keeps them organized as items flow in — no command, no clicking, just a golem quietly doing the filing. See the Sorter golem for how to assign the job and set its route.

Quick-stash first, sort second

A separate feature, inventory unload, moves matching items from your inventory into nearby chests fast. The combo:

1. Walk into your base with a full inventory
2. Run /unload near your storage — items distribute to matching chests
3. Sort the linked chest, or let the golem catch up — everything lands tidy
4. Total time: about ten seconds

See Inventory tweaks for the full /unload command family.

What it doesn't do

• Doesn't add a sort button to a plain vanilla chest — sorting needs a linked chest or a golem
• Doesn't filter — it tidies what's there, it doesn't selectively keep or discard
• A one-off sort doesn't run continuously — that's the golem's job, not the manual action's
