SpearAndFang thanks for the info,  with that in mind I think ill remake all of my copper chests so I can use this.

not to worried about a backup though I colllected all this crap once I can do it again if it disapears.

@Mendall - Agreed.  This mod will work properly with extra chests if you start using both at the same time, or add extra chests afterwards.  If you add this mod after you already have some extra chests placed in the world, you'll have to break those seemingly broken chests (which will dump their contents) and then place them again.

Regardless, make a backup before you add/remove any storage type mods.  Or any mods really  ;)

be careful with this one if you run a lot of mods. I installed this and all my copper chests from the more chests mod changed to comman chests and could not be opened at all. luckily removeing it put everything right.

full disclosure I use an unusualy large amount of mods so its no telling what it was conflicting with.

@MIghtyGooga I cannot do that, so sorry!

Any chance wyou can add compatibility with WoodenChests mod? The one that allows you to build all wood types chests?

Released v1.3.0 which is a required update for people using Vintage Story 1.17.pre.4.
EDIT: Use v1.4.0 for v1.17.0-pre.5

Devestatio I did add support for Carry Capacity and Extra Chests back in v1.0.3 and tested both aok under 1.16.5.  But I've heard that 1.16 can be a little unreliable when it comes to applying such patches.  Nobody has reported that it doesn't work so I can only assume that it does.  shrug.  And yes, there is no support for other modded chests, just vanilla and Extra Chests.

@SpearAndFang I understand that 1.0.3 is for 1.16, but the mod support for Carry Capacity and Extra chests was an update you only added on the 1.17 version, at least that's what you said before, and based on the file date, as well as the fact that the sort button doesn't show up on extra chests (on the v1.0.3 for 1.16 file), also confirms the lack of support on the modded chests, unless there is some kind of config option I am not aware of?

Devestatio but...but...that's what the previous version is there for (v1.0.3).  Other than that, the two versions are identical.  I'm confused.

Any chance we could get the mod support on 1.16 as well please? I know that many, like myself only play the release versions, not the pre versions, and 1.17 is still going to be a while before release.

Devestatio Correct

"Now with Carry Capacity (link) and Extra Chests (link) support...and a brand spankin' new sort button!"

I am guessing since I didn't see the 1.16 file updated, this update only applies to 1.17?

Updated for 1.17.x

This mod only works with vanilla (unmodded) storage, extra chests, and carry capacity.  No other mods, sorry.

Does this not work with Vanilla Varients?

New version up - thanks again gaborszollosy, Lohn

SpearAndFang - Ahh, that makes sense as to why their code directs to a folder on their desktop, then. It's probably from when they tested the code and a leftover path. I tried the other mod by Xandu and it doesn't crash - probably because it sorts via IDs, and something about your sorting method might be different somehow? I wouldn't know, but I figured I'd mention that if it helps fix your mod. :) It's great to have the UI and light-weight sorting this mod gives.

@Lohn - Thanks, I'll see if I can recreate that.  FWIW, that user location is not mine, no.  "Nexrem" contributed some code to the vanilla game a while back and now his name appears in a lot of crash logs for some reason.

So, I just encountered a crash when clicking sort on my chest. I'll post the crash error, but I notice it's refering to a user location that might be yours, rather than anything on my PC which might be part of the reason; not entirely sure. It seems it couldn't sort an item, maybe from being modded or some other issue - but it sorts stuff like ores fine up until now. I'll attach a picture of the inventory I'm sorting, too.

Picture of current items I'm sorting: imgur.com/a/HKq1iya

Let me know if anything else could help figure it out. :) I love this mod. I do have the chests stacked on top of each other currently, and sorted the bottom chest - but I don't think that would make a difference. (They're trunks)

@gaborszollosy - there appears to be a rather odd thing going on with charcoal specifically.  But it appears that if you target the top of the chest rather than the front you can write on it,  That doesn't seem to be an issue at all for other things like chalk.  Weird.  I'll investigate.  Thanks!

Great mod! Thanks for this. One question though: how do I write the label on the container once it's placed? The charcoal just stacks in front of it for me. Thanks!

I've done it.  It's the latest version.  And thanks!

Wonderful and simple QoL mod! Would it be possible to support Dauron's "Extra Chests" mod as well? I want that extra storage space but I hate giving up the sorting and automatic stack compression I get with the sorting chests.
