Most client-side inventory sorting mods only change the user interface and do not modify gameplay mechanics, so they are typically allowed on vanilla servers. However, automation mods like Playerautoma that record and replay actions can be considered cheating. Always check the server's rules before installing such mods. The Playerautoma listing notes that it 'works on servers but can be regarded as cheating by some.' ## Sources - Inventory tweaks mod for b1.7.3 babric adding the modern Left-Click + Drag and Right-Click + Drag mechanics to the game along with some other optional mouse tweaks. — [InventoryTweaks StationAPI](https://modrinth.com/mod/inventorytweaks) - Record and replay player actions to automate tasks. — [Playerautoma](https://modrinth.com/mod/playerautoma) - Also, re-stacks blocks when used up like Inventory tweaks. — [Playerautoma](https://modrinth.com/mod/playerautoma) - MiniMap, Shoulder Surfing, Better F3, Zoom, Freecam, Mouse Tweaks & inventory sorting. — [OFF Client](https://modrinth.com/mod/off-client) - Fullbright, Auto Totem, armor/HP HUDs, waypoints, chat heads & animations, entity hiding, day counter, stopwatch & reload splash hiding in one Fabric mod. — [OFF Client](https://modrinth.com/mod/off-client)
