Indexer is a mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 that helps you organize and manage your items. This automation system allows you to filter and automatically distribute the contents of your Chests/Containers, eliminating the need to manually sort your resources.
With Indexer, you can deposit all your items in a central point and the system will take care of distributing them to the appropriate containers according to the filters you have configured, saving you time and keeping your base perfectly organized!
The brain of the entire system. Place this block at the center of your storage network and connect it to a DropBox (special container) where you'll deposit the items you want to sort. The Controller can detect connectors up to 250 blocks away, allowing you to create massive and complex storage systems.
These blocks connect the Indexer Controller with the Indexer Connectors, forming the distribution network. They are easy to craft and yield 10 units per recipe, allowing you to create extensive distribution systems with few resources.
Place these blocks next to your chests, barrels, furnaces, or other containers. Each Connector can be configured with a specific filter to determine which items it will accept. Items that match the filter will be automatically sent from the Controller to the connected container.
A special container with 54 slots (double that of a normal chest) where you can deposit all the items you want to sort. The Indexer Controller will extract the items from here and distribute them according to the configured filters.
The system includes 5 speed upgrades with performance increases per level:
-
Basic — 5x
Crafting: gold ingots in the corners, redstone dust in the remaining slots, and an Indexer Controller in the center. Transfers up to 4 items per cycle.
-
Copper — 10x
Crafting: surround the Basic upgrade with copper ingots.
-
Advanced — 20x
Crafting: surround the Copper upgrade with diamonds. Transfers up to 16 items per cycle.
-
Elite — 64x
Crafting: surround the Advanced upgrade with
Netherite Scrap. -
Definitive — 256x
Crafting: final tier. Check the in-game recipe book if your pack includes its recipe.
Note: The “x” values represent the system’s relative performance multiplier. Exact items-per-cycle amounts are shown in the UI and in the Indexer Controller tooltips depending on the applied upgrade.
Filters let you restrict or allow items routed through the Indexer network.
-
Usage
- Place filters in the connector’s filter slots to affect routing.
- Right-click configurable filters to set their criteria (Name, Attribute, Custom Tag Blocker).
- Multiple filters can be combined; specific filters (tools/food/fuel) allow only their category.
-
Base Filter
Core component used for crafting other filters.
-
Name Filter
Filters items by exact custom name. Right-click to set the target name.
-
Attribute Filter
Filters by attributes like enchantments. Right-click to set the attribute.
-
Custom Tag Blocker
Blocks items by ID/tag. Right-click to set the item/tag to block.
-
Food Filter
Allows only edible items.
-
Fuel Filter
Allows only fuel items (e.g., coal, charcoal, lava bucket in furnaces).
-
Tools Filter
Allows only tools: pickaxes, axes, shovels, hoes, and swords.
Crafting: most filters are crafted using the Base Filter plus category items. Check the in-game recipe book for exact patterns.
The system automatically detects furnaces and can refill fuel (coal or charcoal) without additional configuration.
The Controller can detect and manage connectors up to 250 blocks away, allowing you to create storage systems that span your entire base.
There is no restriction on the number of connectors you can use in your system, allowing you to expand it as much as you need.
Easily configure your connector filters with a simple and straightforward interface. Just place the item you want to filter in the available slot.
The Indexer Controller Network screen was redesigned to clearly show all connected containers and system statistics.
- Container list: shows position, type, and configured filters. Includes search and refresh button.
- Content preview: hovering a card shows an overlay with items and quantities (if the container is not empty). If there are more items than displayed,
...appears. - Type icon: each card shows the icon of the container type (Chest, Barrel, Furnace, etc.). It automatically hides when the detail modal is open.
- Network statistics: panel with connection info (DropBox), number of connected containers, and occupancy bar with percentage (example: 29%).
- Detailed view: clicking a card opens a modal with position, type, capacity, fill percentage with bar, filters, and an items section with scroll (minimum 2 visible rows and mouse wheel enabled).
- Open the Indexer Controller network screen.
- Use the search to filter containers or hover a card to preview its contents.
- Click a card to open the detailed view and scroll the items using the mouse wheel.
