Item Splitter
by TheRealDP
Item Splitter lets a player cut a stack in a container into smaller amounts, with keybinds that split it in a single keypress.
What it does
A split can be done by hand or from a keybind. The player picks a stack, enters the amount to take out, and the mod moves that portion into a separate stack. Splitting works in the player inventory and in container screens such as chests and barrels, so the same action covers both.
Keybinds are configurable. The config screen opens with the K key, where a binding is assigned by clicking Set Key and pressing the desired key, then confirming with Add. Settings are saved automatically, so a choice made once persists between sessions.
The mod is a Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.21.11 and needs Fabric Loader 0.18.4 or newer. It is released under the MIT License and is open source, with its source code and issue tracker publicly available.
Key features
Single-keypress splitting
A bound key splits the hovered stack in one press, without opening a separate dialog.
Amount entry
The player types the number of items to split off, so partial stacks are set exactly rather than halved.
Container support
Splitting works in chests, barrels and other container screens as well as the player inventory.
Configurable keybinds
Each split action is bound to a key chosen in the config screen, opened with K, and the choices save automatically.
Compatibility

Use cases
Sorting storage
Players who keep mixed stacks in chests can divide a large stack into portions for separate slots.
Dividing supplies
Amounts can be set exactly when a stack has to be shared between inventories or containers.
Who it’s for: Players on Fabric 1.21.11 who handle large item stacks often and want a faster way to split them. Only the client needs the mod, so it can be installed on a single-player game or a client joining any server.
How it compares
Reload Key is a Fabric client mod for 1.21 – 1.21.7 under All rights reserved, so it is not open source and does not cover 1.21.11. Servermatica is open source under the MIT License and runs on both client and server for 1.21.11 – 26.2, so every player and the server need it. SpeedRunStats is open source under the Apache License 2.0 and is client-side only for 1.21.1.
