Configuration

In-game settings

Install Mod Settings to change settings from the pause menu (the Mod Settings... button, or press F6) - pick InventoryWizard. Mod Menu works too. The screen covers the sorting mode, chat messages, the sort buttons, sound on/off and volume, the update check, which containers can be sorted, scrolling a held stack, and partial stack placement. On NeoForge and Forge, open it from Mods → InventoryWizard → Config. Changes apply immediately and are saved when you press Done.

The sound id/pitch and hotbar priorities can only be changed in the JSON file. Locked slots are changed in-game with Alt+Click (see Usage).

Config file

The mod generates config/inventorywizard.json:

{
  "sortMode": "DEFAULT",
  "playSound": true,
  "sound": {
    "id": "minecraft:ui.button.click",
    "volume": 0.5,
    "pitch": 1.2
  },
  "showMessages": true,
  "showButtons": true,
  "scrollAdjustsStack": true,
  "features": {
    "chestSorting": true,
    "shulkerSorting": true,
    "barrelSorting": true,
    "enderChestSorting": true,
    "inventorySorting": true,
    "hotbarSorting": true
  },
  "allowPartialStacksChest": true,
  "allowPartialStacksInventory": true,
  "hotbarPriorities": {

checkForUpdates	Update Check	See below

On a server with the Paper plugin, the server's own config, mode and locked slots are used instead.

Update Check

• With checkForUpdates on, the mod asks Modrinth at startup for the newest release for your loader and Minecraft version. If it is newer than yours, you get one chat message with a download link when you join a world.
• Set it to false to turn off the request entirely (takes effect after a restart).

Partial Stack Sorting Behavior

• allowPartialStacksChest and allowPartialStacksInventory control where leftover partial stacks go in containers and the player inventory.
• If set to true: Each partial stack is placed right after the full stacks of the same item.
• If set to false: Full stacks are sorted first and all leftover partial stacks are placed together at the end. No items are ever removed.
