SmartStorage

Auto-sorts items into the right chest when shift-clicking, instead of dumping everything into the currently opened chest.

How it works

When you shift+click an item from your inventory while a chest is open:

• SmartStorage searches for nearby chests that already contain that item type
• If a match is found, the item goes there automatically
• If no match exists, vanilla behavior kicks in (item goes to the open chest)

No more manually placing wood in the wood chest, stones in the stone chest. Just shift+click and let the mod handle the sorting.

Features

• Automatic smart sorting — items go where they belong
• HUD notification — visual feedback when an item is auto-sorted
• Configurable scan radius — from 1m to 50m (default: 10m)
• Multiplayer-friendly — only targets chests you own (configurable)
• Vanilla-compatible — fallback to default behavior when no smart match exists
• Localization-aware — item names display correctly in your language
• Optimized — caching system to avoid lag on large bases

Usage tips

• Set up once, sort forever: put one wood log in your "wood chest", one stone in your "stone chest", etc. From then on, shift+clicking any wood/stone auto-sorts to the right place.
• Increase the radius if your storage room is large
• Disable temporarily by setting Enabled = false in the config (no need to remove the mod)
