Stack Refill
by SeishiroNagi
Stack Refill is a Forge and NeoForge client mod that swaps in matching items when a hotbar stack, tool or armor piece runs out or breaks.
What it does
When the item in a hand or slot is used up, the mod searches the inventory for a matching stack and moves it into the same slot, so tools, armor and off-hand items stay ready without manual inventory work. Players choose whether the search runs inventory first or hotbar first, and a mode can keep chosen hotbar slots topped up whenever matching items are present. Builders, miners, fighters and farmers can keep working through long sessions without stopping to reorganize items.
The mod can warn the player when only one matching stack remains, show a small counter on a hotbar slot and play an optional sound when a refill happens. Specific items can be placed on a blacklist so they are never refilled automatically. Settings are reached through an in-game configuration screen, and the mod only moves items that already exist in the inventory.
Stack Refill is published for Forge and NeoForge, both for 1.21.1 with a 1.0.0 file dated 2026-06-03. It runs on the client only, so players join servers without installing anything, and it is released under All rights reserved, which means it is not open source.
Key features
Main hand, off-hand and armor refill
Used-up stacks in the main hand, the off-hand and armor slots are replaced from matching items in the inventory.
Broken tool replacement
When a tool breaks, another matching tool from the inventory takes its place in the same slot.
Keep Slot mode
Selected hotbar slots are kept filled passively whenever matching items are available.
Warnings and counters
An actionbar message appears when only one matching stack remains, and a small counter on the hotbar slot shows the stock.
