GlymeraBluestoneSorter
Summary (≤230 chars): Sort your loot automatically with three tinted bamboo chests: a green Input Chest routes items by type into your nearest blue Output Chests, fed by hand, a Bluestone Hopper, or its own red Hopper Chest. Owner-locked.
Automatic item sorting for Hytale — three matching bamboo chests, zero redstone headaches.
Tired of hand-sorting your loot, or building giant hopper contraptions? GlymeraBluestoneSorter turns
sorting into three colour-coded chests that snap right into your base — and it brings its own hopper,
so you don't even need a separate automation plugin to feed it.
The three chests
🟢 Sorter Input Chest — throw everything into it. Right-click with an item to drop that stack in,
hit Deposit Inventory to pick stacks from your bags, or let a hopper fill it automatically.
🔵 Sorter Output Chest — drop in one (or several) item types and that is its filter. The Input
Chest then funnels matching items here. The filter is always visible — it's simply what's inside.
🔴 Sorter Hopper Chest — an item mover. It pulls from a chest above it and the four sides, or, if
there's no chest around, vacuums up loose items off the ground — then pushes everything into the chest
below it. Stand it on an Input Chest and your farm output sorts itself.
How sorting works
The Input Chest links to the 4 nearest Output Chests in range and sends each item to the nearest
one that wants it (ties shared fairly). A full Output Chest simply stops accepting and the leftovers
wait in the Input Chest. Only your own chests link together — your green chest will never feed a
neighbour's blue chest, so shared builds stay tidy.
Built to scale
The sorting sweep is event-driven: an idle network costs almost nothing, busy ones only do work for
the items actually moving, and it never blocks the rest of your server. Build as many sorters as you
like and chain them off your farms, mob grinders and Bluestone builds.
Features
- 🧺 Three matching chests — fill, filter, and feed, all in tinted 72-slot bamboo chests.
- 🪣 Brings its own hopper — plus full Bluestone-Hopper compatibility for the Input Chest.
- 🧲 Vacuum mode — a Hopper Chest with nothing around it sucks up nearby dropped items.
- 🏷️ Filter = contents — set an Output Chest just by dropping an item in; always visible.
- 🎯 Smart, local routing — 4 nearest outputs, nearest-first, fair round-robin on ties.
- 🔒 Owner-locked & owner-scoped — only you can open, break or mine your chests, and only your
chests link to each other. - 📦 Deposit manager — deposit single stacks or whole containers with a click.
- ⚙️ Fully configurable — range, link count, capacity, throughput and every recipe.
Crafting
All three chests are crafted at the Alchemybench from a Small Bamboo Chest, Greater Essence of
Life, and an element essence (Fire for Input, Ice for Output, Void for the Hopper). Every recipe can
be toggled off in the config.

Changelog
GlymeraBluestoneSorter — Changelog
v2.0.0 (2026-08-28) — Hytale 0.6.0 (Update 6)
- Rebuilt for Hytale 0.6.0 (Update 6). Requires server 0.6.0 or newer; this version does not run on 0.5.x, and older versions of this plugin do not run on 0.6.0.
- Migrated to the 0.6.0 APIs (network protocol hytale/3, new command-permission API, block/chunk/entity API changes). Everything that was open to players before is open to players again.
- Upgrade: delete the old jar from
mods/, drop in the new one and keep the plugin's data folder — configs and saved data carry over unchanged. Restart the server.
v1.0.0 — 2026-06-08 (initial release)
First release. Automatic, owner-safe item sorting built from three matching bamboo chests, each
with a colour-tinted 72-slot window. Plugs into the Bluestone automation family — and ships its own
hopper, so you don't even need the Bluestone plugin to feed it.
The three chests (all craftable at the Alchemybench, each recipe individually toggleable in
the config, all on by default):
- Sorter Input Chest (green) — you fill it: right-click with an item to drop that stack in, or
use the Deposit Inventory button to pick individual stacks from your inventory. It also carries
a hidden native intake, so a Bluestone Hopper or the Sorter Hopper Chest can feed it.
Recipe: 1 Small Bamboo Chest + 5 Greater Essence of Life + 10 Essence of Fire. - Sorter Output Chest (blue) — whatever item types it holds are its filter. Matching items
routed from an Input Chest collect here.
Recipe: 1 Small Bamboo Chest + 5 Greater Essence of Life + 10 Essence of Ice. - Sorter Hopper Chest (red) — an item mover: each tick it pulls from a chest above it and the
4 sides, or — if none of those 5 positions holds a chest — vacuums up nearby loose items, and
pushes the result into the chest below it (e.g. set it on an Input Chest to auto-feed the sort).
Recipe: 1 Small Bamboo Chest + 5 Greater Essence of Life + 10 Essence of the Void.
Sorting engine
- An Input Chest links to at most the 4 nearest Output Chests within range (maxOutputsPerInput),
and only chests owned by the same player — a green chest never feeds someone else's blue chest.
- Each item goes to the nearest matching Output Chest; equal-distance ties are shared round-robin.
When an Output Chest is full it stops accepting and the item stays in the Input Chest (the overflow
buffer).
- The sweep runs at the Bluestone-Hopper cadence (200 ms) but is event-light: idle/empty networks
cost almost nothing and worlds with no players are skipped entirely. Work is proportional to the
items actually moving, capped per cycle. All container access runs on the world thread, so the
shared scheduler is never blocked.
Windows & UI
- Every chest opens a colour-tinted 72-slot window (green / blue / red). Left-click a slot to take a
stack, right-click to take everything of that type.
- The Deposit Inventory button opens a deposit manager: click a single inventory slot to deposit
just that stack, or use the bulk buttons (Storage / Backpack / All).
Ownership & protection
- All three chests are owner-locked: only the placer (or an OP) may open, break, or even mine
them — non-owners are stopped at every step. Breaking a chest returns the block plus all of its
contents to the owner.
