What it does

AutoOrganize adds the AO Chest. Place a few next to each other and they become a network. Put items into any one of them and each stack moves to the chest that holds its category. Ores go with ores. Food goes with food. Nothing is lost, duplicated, or left in the wrong place.

It was built for survival servers where players share space and still expect their things to stay theirs.

Recipes

Categories

Fourteen categories ship by default, assigned by material so results are consistent and predictable.

Names, enchantments, durability, custom model data and every other item property pass through untouched.

Want something different? Create your own. A custom category belongs to you, holds the item types you choose, and overrides the default for your chests only.

Your storage, your rules

Every AO Chest records the player who placed it, and every player keeps a private organization: their own category assignments and their own custom categories.

Two players can build chests that touch. They share a network on the map and nothing else.

Sorting only ever moves items between chests owned by the same person. A neighbor's chest never receives your items, and your layout never changes theirs.

Trust, when you want it

Run /ao trust <player> to let someone manage how your storage is organized.

Run /ao untrust <player> and it ends immediately, including any menu they have open. Every action in the wand menu checks permissions again at the moment it happens.

Double chests

Two AO Chests belonging to the same player merge into a double chest exactly as you would expect. The pair behaves as one unit with a single category and a single label.

Chests belonging to different players, and ordinary chests, never merge with an AO Chest. That closes the one loophole that would otherwise let a double chest bridge two owners.

The wand menu

Sneak + Right Click an AO Chest while holding the AO Wand.

• See the chest's category, owner, slot usage and network size
• Assign any default or custom category
• Return the chest to automatic assignment
• Create, rename and delete custom categories
• Add or remove item types from a custom category by holding the item

Menus are locked against shift-clicking, dragging, hotbar swaps and every other way of pulling an item out of an interface.
