StackerForge
by ROOCKYdev
Players who spend minutes sorting chests after a mining trip can use StackerForge, a Forge mod that moves matching items from the inventory into nearby storage with one click.
What it does
StackerForge adds a movable button to the inventory screen. Clicking it scans chests within a configurable search radius and deposits every item that matches a stack already held there. A second action, Force Stack, fills empty slots in those chests as well. Alt+Click and drag are supported, and the button can be moved to any location the player chooses.
The mod is built around the standard item handling capabilities that Forge provides, so it interacts with blocks that accept items the usual way. The config menu sets the search radius, from a small closet up to a large warehouse, and decides whether the hotbar takes part in stacking. The author describes it as compatible with Iron Chests and other storage systems, and as compatible with almost every modded inventory.
StackerForge runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.20.1, with the latest beta file dated 2025-06-25. The code is not open source; the mod is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
One-click stacking
A single click deposits inventory items into existing matching stacks in nearby chests, replacing manual searching through each chest.
Force Stack
A second action fills empty slots in nearby chests, so items that have no match elsewhere can still be stored.
Configurable search radius
The config menu sets how far the mod looks for chests, and it can include or exclude the hotbar from the process.
Movable inventory button
The stacking button appears in the inventory screen and can be dragged to any position the player prefers.
Alt+Click and drag
Holding Alt while clicking and dragging moves items between the inventory and chests in one gesture.
Compatibility
