Why stacks of 16?
Why stacks of 16? raises the stack limit of items that vanilla caps at 16, so they stack up to 64 instead, including items added by other mods.
What it does
Items that normally stop at 16 per slot can hold up to 64 once the mod is installed. The change covers modded items as well as vanilla ones, so one setting applies across the whole inventory and chests.
