🛠️ Technical Details

Minecraft Version: 1.21.4

📋 Requirements

• Fabric API ≥ 0.102.0 (Required)
• Fabric Loader ≥ 0.15.0 (Required)

🔧 Why Server-Side Logic?

Smart Sort uses server-side container scanning to access real chest contents, not client-side placeholders. This ensures:

• ✅ Accurate detection - Reads actual chest contents even when closed
• ✅ No desync issues - Client and server always agree
• ✅ Mod compatibility - Automatically detects ALL items from installed mods
• ✅ Multiplayer support - Works reliably on servers
• ✅ Safe operations - No item duplication or loss possible

⌨️ Default Controls

All keybindings are configurable in Minecraft's Controls settings

💡 Pro Tips

1. Store your items organized - Keep similar items in the same chest for faster scanning
2. Create multiple profiles - One for each activity (mining, farming, exploring, etc.)
3. Use the preview - Check the preview panel before applying to see what will change
4. Watch the notifications - They tell you exactly what's missing
5. Stand close to chests - Stay within 5 blocks for reliable scanning
6. Excess items - Items not in your profile are automatically stored back in chests
