Sensible Stacks
by Gencal
Sensible Stacks changes how many items fit in one inventory slot, letting Forge servers allow stacking for items that normally do not stack.
What it does
Sensible Stacks lets a server owner decide whether item stacks are enlarged. Its settings can enable stacking for the 16 items that do not stack by default, and most options come preconfigured. Potions are the only exception: by default they stack up to 3 per slot, since three potions with the same effect come from a single brew at a brewing stand. The server runs it alone, so players join without installing anything. Released under the Mozilla Public License 2.0, the code is open source, and the mod is published for Forge 1.20.1 only.
Key features
Stackable non-stackables
Settings can turn on stacking for the 16 items that normally do not stack in a slot.
Potion stacks of three
Potions stack up to 3 per slot by default, matching the three potions a single brew produces.
Adjustable stack sizes
The stack size of potions and other items can be changed, so server owners set their own limits.

What the author says
Code and idea inspired by Why stacks of 16? Most things are preconfigured: you can either enable or disable whether an item stacks to 16 (for non-stackables) or if already stackable items stack to 64. The only exception is potions. By default, potions are stackable up to 3 items per stack, because this makes the most…
