About this project
What does BetterStacks add?
Component Stack Size overhauls inventory management in Minecraft 1.21+ by allowing previously unstackable or low-limit items to stack cleanly without breaking game mechanics. Built entirely on Minecraft 1.21’s modern Data Components system, items will only stack when their properties (effects, enchantments, stored items) match perfectly.
