You'd think games with crafting would have solved this issue by now, but it's still pretty much standard to let the player deal with that mess themselves. There are tons of solutions for this issue that might not be perfect, but are certainly better than making the player spend a significant chunk of playtime sorting and/or searching inventories and chests.
Copper golems are slow and only really useful early game, as they max out at 10 chests. The only genuinely useful inventory management feature they've added in years is the bundle, and it was locked behind niche materials until recently.
Definitely. But you'd think this kind of thing would be standard by now, especially considering that many recent games have a lot more items than unmodded Minecraft had 10 years ago (AFAIK unmodded Minecraft has greatly expanded the amount of items since then).
Just one more storage system, bro. Please, one more storage system is gonna solve this issue. One more and that's it, bro, just one more storage system, come on.
they're slow and ineffective, but work decently well for casual users who don't add twenty shulkers of items a day (as long as you know how to use them properly, which isn't very obvious)
i unironically always end up adding Tom's simple storage mod to my vanilla+ modpacks, and it's always much better than vanilla. Even better than huge unwieldy and expensive and slow storage systems that take hours or days to build. It's one convenience I always use, because otherwise I will quickly abandon a world. What it does is add an AE2-style interface to just a bunch of chests that are next to each other, plus a few other things. You're still storing things in chests, but it gives you a clean look at all of them at once, instead of having to dig through dozens or hundreds of them.
(my 1.21.10 world doesn't have the mod installed yet, but I only started a few days ago and so far the amount of items is still okay. But eventually I can't help myself, I cannot manually sort items, I'm just not built for it, and automatic sorting is excruciatingly slow, and item retrieval in big storage systems is also very slow when you need to run back and forth just to grab a few different items. Plus traditional redstone-based sorters break when you quit the game while they're sorting.)

Minecraft has nice mods for chests with sorting etc.

I heard the new copper golems will do it for you now, haven't played around with it though.

RS > ME any day. I'm doing stoneblock 4 right now, which doesn't have RS, and they've added dark mode to this version of AE, which is nice

Kind of nice that in Necesse you can let your villagers sort chests for you.
