Auto Sort Chest Plugin

[DiabloByte]

Hello, i just want to suggest a Auto Sort Chest Plugin, that we can use for chest arrangement  <3 it has many advantages if we have that plugin, first it is easily for us now to transfer our items  into another chest, and also it is very helpful for us to arrange our items in chests if we are lazy to arrange it manually.

We can also turn on or turn off that plugin if we want to!

I hope my recommendation will be considered <3 thx!

We need the link to the plugin so we can review it, please.

They are mostly likely refering to Inventory Tweaks (https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/inventory-tweaks). This is useful mod, but should not be allowed on the server due to a few of its functions. It allows for the automatic replacement of broken armour and other such items, giving the possibility of an advantage in combat.

I would also expect this mod to conflict with the anti-cheat plugin as it can be registed as quick inventory placements.

Nice find Ope! Yeah this mod would get you destroyed by the Anti-cheat and wouldn't be allowed. I'm confused as to which plugin they might be referring to. This plugin is called auto sort, but it hasn't been updated in nearly 6 years. It's extremely unlikely it works. Do you have a link to a more modern plugin DiabloByte?

Again, as this is using an algorithm for such sorting, or in other terms it can be seen as a script or a macro. I would expect such a macro in increase the overhead of the server largely.

Let?s think of an example:
20 people are online. Most players frequently use chests. Let?s 'guess' that is on average 3 chest (inventory objects) per minute; for some players it would be more and for some it would be much less.
This would create 60 chest access requests per minute, which the plugin would automatically sort the chests.
So far there is no real issue till coming to the sorting aspect of the problem which have many different solutions/methods (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorting_algorithm).
This would mean the possibility of producing around 60 new processes which need to be computed on the server. Granted such processes would be quick to compute and use little overhead. It can be expected that the larger overhead would come from creating the process within an already crowded set of processes and also from determine when the program has finished, and the processes can be terminated correctly.


Lastly, I would say it would be a nice plugin to have but the potential problems with the plugin (as it could still possibly conflict with the anit-cheat plugin) could be too great for the benefit it would provide.
