📦 Stack Size Adjuster

“Unshackle Your Inventory. Configurable Stack Limits with High-Performance Drop Protection & Dynamic Font Scaling.”

📖 Introduction

Minecraft’s standard 64-item stack ceiling was established over 15 years ago when the game had only a handful of blocks and crafting recipes. In modern survival, building large structures, massive terraforming projects, or sorting large storage rooms turns inventory management into a chore of dozens of chests and endless hauling trips.

Stack Size Adjuster solves the inventory bottleneck under the Instant Gratification design philosophy. It dynamically expands item stack limits server-wide across natural item categories (64-stack items, 16-stack items, and 1-stack items) with real-time network synchronization, client-side auto-scaling numbers, and container drop lag prevention.

1 Jar 1 Version Policy: I build 1 dedicated JAR for each Minecraft version (e.g. 1.20.1, 1.21.1, 1.21.11, 26.1.2, 26.2, 26.3+). Please download the exact build that matches your Minecraft installation.

Server & Client Architecture: Install on the server (or singleplayer world) to enable custom stack logic. Clients with the mod installed will benefit from dynamic font auto-scaling in inventory slots and instant GameRule sync!

Part of the Instant Gratification Collection — mods designed to streamline your gameplay and respect your time.

✨ Features

🚀 Category-Based Stack Expansion

• 64-Stack Items (Default: 128): Expands building blocks, ores, ingots, wood, and standard resources up to any integer limit.
• 16-Stack Items (Default: 32): Expands utility items that naturally cap at 16 (ender pearls, snowballs, buckets, signs, eggs) without breaking their identity.
• 1-Stack Items (Default: 1): Kept at 1 by default to ensure tools, weapons, and armor retain standard behavior. Server owners can uncap this category at any time if desired.
• Uncapped Freedom: Supports stack sizes up to 2,147,483,647 (Integer.MAX_VALUE), adhering to the Freedom Over Anti-Crash design principle.

🛡️ Container Drop Lag Protection

• Breaking a chest containing thousands of items in vanilla would normally spawn hundreds or thousands of individual item entities, creating severe TPS drops or client stutter.
• Cluster Drop System: Intelligently groups dropped items into a controlled number of item entities per inventory slot (governed by max_drop_entities, default 8), preserving full item quantities while keeping server performance smooth.

🔤 Dynamic Inventory Font Scaling

• Numbers with 3, 4, or more digits (like 128, 999, or 9999) normally overflow outside the 16×16 inventory slot boundary.
• The client-side renderer calculates text width and dynamically scales down high-count numbers so they fit cleanly and legibly inside the item slot.

⚡ Real-Time Network Sync & Container Refresh

• Stack limits synchronize automatically via custom network payloads whenever a player joins or an admin changes GameRules.
• Open container and inventory screens immediately refresh with the updated limits without requiring a server reboot or player relog.

🧩 Addon Ecosystem Compatibility

• Built-in API hooks allow specialized companion mods to register dedicated per-item overrides:
• Potion Stacker Addon: Stacks drinkable, splash, and lingering potions, water bottles, and stews.
• Stew Stacker Addon: Stacks mushroom stews, rabbit soups, beetroot soups, and suspicious stews.

⚙️ Native GameRules & Configuration

Stack limits can be adjusted in real time using vanilla GameRules:

🖥️ In-Game Configuration Screen (ModMenu & YACL)

If ModMenu and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) are installed, you can configure these options directly from the client title screen or mods menu:

• Config file: config/stack-size-adjuster.json (acts as baseline defaults for newly generated worlds).
