QuickStack
by 2Retr0
With QuickStack, a player presses one key to move matching items from the inventory into nearby chests that already hold them.
What it does
Quick stacking moves items from the player's inventory into nearby containers that already hold the same item. Only stacked containers that already contain an item are used as destinations. When several containers qualify, the ones holding more of that item are prioritized. By default only non-hotbar inventory items are considered, and the set can be changed in the configuration. A hybrid pathfinding and line-of-sight check keeps items from being stacked into containers the player cannot reach. Llamas, donkeys, chest boats and chest minecarts are included, not only standard chests.
Each quick stack ends with an informational toast that summarizes the deposit and cycles through the destination containers. Every destination gets its own highlight color, so the player can see where each item went. The duration of these highlights is configurable, and they begin only once the inventory screen is closed. QuickStack is open source under the MIT License. It needs Fabric API, and the mod bundles ItemFavorites. Files are published for Fabric and Quilt for 1.19.3 – 1.20.4, with the latest Fabric build 1.0.2+1.20.4 for 1.20.4.
