Quick Stack Nearby
by ThatMasonGuy
Quick Stack Nearby adds a button to the player inventory that sends matching items into nearby containers that already hold them.
What it does
Pressing the quick-stack button in the player inventory moves matching stacks from the main inventory into nearby containers that already contain the same items. Items that no nearby container holds stay in the inventory. The button is placed by the mod itself, and the mod falls back to its own placement when the Inv+ companion is not installed, so Inv+ is optional.
Quick Stack Nearby is a Fabric mod that needs Fabric API and is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later, which makes it open source. Multiplayer quick stacking needs the mod on both the server and each client, while single-player works with the client install alone because the integrated server runs the same logic. Files cover 1.20 – 26.2, with snapshot builds published and 0.4.0+mc26.1-26.3-snapshot-1 as the latest Fabric file for 26.2.
Key features
Quick-stack button
A button in the inventory screen sends items from the backpack area into containers nearby.
Server-authoritative movement
Item movement is decided on the server, so multiplayer play stays consistent for every player.
Operator commands
Server operators get commands for inspecting, changing and reloading the mod's settings.
Clear unavailable message
When the server lacks the mod, the button shows a message that the feature is unavailable instead of moving items.

Use cases

Players with chests spread around a base can restock them from the main inventory with one press.

Server owners run the mod so every player's quick-stack actions follow the same server rules.
Who it’s for: Players who keep many chests or barrels and want to restock them quickly, and server owners who want to manage the feature with operator commands.

QuickStacks is open source under the MIT License and has files for 26.2 only.
