Stacknator
Stacknator is a lightweight Minecraft mod for Fabric that lets you customize the maximum stack size of any vanilla or modded item via a simple configuration file. By modifying item data components during game initialization, Stacknator delivers a clean, efficient solution without performance overhead or hacky workarounds.
Compatibility
- Required: Fabric API
- Vanilla Items: Fully compatible.
- Modded Items: Generally compatible with most mods.
Tags: Supported through the Filler feature.
Tip: To find an item's identifier, enable Advanced Tooltips in-game by pressing F3 + H, then hover over the item.
Installation
- Drop the Stacknator
.jarinto yourmodsfolder. - Start the server or load into a world.
- Edit the stacknator.json config file to set your desired stack sizes.
- Enjoy!
Required only on the server side for a
survivalgameplay, however it's recommended to have it on the client side as well to be fully compatible with some screens (e.g. creative screen).
