XGN Create Mounted Stacks
by XGN
Players who move large item stacks through Create contraptions will see mounted chests, barrels and vaults accept more than 64 items per slot once XGN Create Mounted Stacks is installed.
What it does
XGN Create Mounted Stacks changes how the storage menu of Create contraptions handles slot limits. Create fixes the maximum at 64 items per slot in that menu. The mod drops the fixed value so the menu reads each container's own limit, which means the cap for a slot becomes whatever the item itself allows. Shift-clicking a stack of 500 into a mounted container now fills full slots instead of splitting into eight stacks of 64.
The change is made by a single mixin into the storage menu wrapper. It replaces the hard-coded 64 default of the Container interface, which vanilla sets to 99 with a limit of 1,000,000,000, and it adds no blocks, items, recipes, commands or config entries. Nothing is written to the save. A player who removes the mod gets the vanilla behavior back without losing any items, since ordinary chests were never limited to 64.
The mod is built and tested against Create 6.0.10 and needs Create 6.0 or newer, on Minecraft 1.21.1 with a recent NeoForge build. Create is required. Stack Size Tweaks is optional, and the build was tested with Stack Size Tweaks 0.3.4. Without it, items keep their normal stack sizes, so the change only matters for items that allow more than 64. The mod is licensed under All rights reserved and is not open source. It runs on client and server, so both sides should carry the same jar.
Key features
Mounted stacks above 64
Mounted chests, barrels and vaults used by Create contraptions accept stacks up to the item's real maximum.
Container limit in place of 64
The storage menu reads each container's own limit instead of Create's fixed value of 64 per slot.
Vanilla behavior when unused
Items whose maximum is 64 behave exactly as in vanilla, and ordinary chests are unaffected.
Client and server agreement
The server decides how a shift-click moves items, while the client decides what appears while dragging, so both sides need the mod to show matching splits.

What the author says
If you play Create with a stack size mod, you have probably run into this: items in a normal chest stack way past 64, but as soon as you open a chest, barrel or vault that is mounted on a contraption (a train, a moving structure), everything you touch in that menu splits back down to 64. Shift-click a stack of 500…
