Better Stack Count
by CC_PCT
Stack counts on item slots can be restyled with Better Stack Count, which changes the text's size, colour, position and background.
What it does
Better Stack Count changes how the number on a stacked item is drawn. Its text can be resized, recoloured and moved within the slot, and a background can be placed behind it with its own colour. Tools can also show their remaining durability as a percentage instead of a bar. The mod is client-side only, so a server does not need it and players join without installing it.
Fabric API, Cloth Config API and Mod Menu are required, and Cloth Config API supplies the settings screen. Files are published for Fabric for 26.3 with the beta channel, and for NeoForge for 1.21.1 with a beta file. Builds cover 1.21.1 – 26.3 across eleven release versions. The code is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, and the source code and issue tracker are public.

How it compares
Stack Size Tweaks changes maximum stack sizes rather than how counts are drawn, runs on client and server, and is open source under the MIT License for 1.21 – 26.3. StackPlus is client required with server optional, also MIT licensed and covering 1.21 – 26.3. Item Count Background is Fabric-only, client-side only and open source under the MIT License for 1.21.5 – 26.2, so it covers the background but not the full set of text options.
