# Enable/disable magical features
features:
  chest-sorting: true

Partial Stack Sorting Behavior

• allow-partial-stacks-chest and allow-partial-stacks-inventory control whether partial stacks are included in sorting for chests and player inventory, respectively.
• If set to true: All items, including partial stacks, are sorted and consolidated as much as possible.
• If set to false: Only full stacks are sorted. Any leftover partial stacks are left unsorted at the end of the inventory or chest.

📋 Sorting Modes

Default Mode (Smart Categorization)

Items are sorted by logical categories:

1. Stone Types - Stone, granite, cobblestone, deepslate, etc.
2. Earth Types - Dirt, sand, gravel, clay, concrete, etc.
