Why Stack Of 16?
Why Stack Of 16? raises the stack size of many vanilla items so that snowballs, ender pearls, eggs, potions and signs hold 64 per slot instead of 16.
What it does
Normally several items cap at 16 per slot in the inventory. This Fabric mod raises that cap to a full stack of 64 for a set of common items, so a player carries the same number of items in fewer slots. Ender pearls, honey bottles, eggs, snowballs, potions, splash potions, lingering potions and signs are among the items it changes.
Changes apply automatically once the mod is installed, and the configuration commands let a server owner adjust the behavior. Stacks sync correctly in multiplayer when both the client and the server run the mod. Fabric API is required, and the mod is published for 1.21.8, 26.2 and 26.3, with 26.3 as the latest file from 2026-09-17. The server and every player need the mod installed. The code is open source under the MIT License.
Development began on 2025-09-04 and the last update is dated 2026-09-17. Snapshot builds are not mentioned by the author.
