🍲 Stew Stacker Addon

“Hearty Meals Made Practical. Stack Mushroom Stews, Rabbit Soups, and Suspicious Stews.”

📖 Introduction

Minecraft features some of the most charming culinary recipes in gaming: hearty Mushroom Stews, protein-packed Rabbit Stews, Beetroot Soups, and enigmatic Suspicious Stews crafted with wild meadow flowers. Yet almost no survival player ever carries them past the first day. Why? Because bowls of stew cannot stack in vanilla Minecraft. Carrying 5 bowls of rabbit stew consumes 5 precious inventory slots, whereas carrying 64 Cooked Beef takes only one.

Stew Stacker Addon revitalizes Minecraft's cozy culinary dishes under the Instant Gratification design philosophy. As a dedicated companion addon for Stack Size Adjuster, it enables all stews and soups to stack up to 16 (or custom limits up to Integer.MAX_VALUE) in inventories, chests, and containers. With full Suspicious Stew effect preservation, automatic empty bowl recovery, and real-time network sync, stew becomes a premier survival food source.

1 Jar 1 Version Policy: I build 1 dedicated JAR for each Minecraft version (e.g. 1.20.1, 1.21.1, 1.21.11, 26.1.2, 26.2, 26.3+). Please download the exact build that matches your Minecraft installation.

Companion Addon Requirement: This mod is designed as a companion addon for Stack Size Adjuster and requires Dasik Library and Fabric API. Both the server and connected clients should have the mod installed for seamless GUI and network synchronization.

Part of the Instant Gratification Collection — mods designed to streamline your gameplay and respect your time.

✨ Features

🥣 Full Culinary Stacking (Default: 16)

• All Vanilla Stews Supported: Mushroom Stew, Rabbit Stew, Beetroot Soup, and Suspicious Stew stack seamlessly up to 16 by default (configurable up to 2,147,483,647).
• Suspicious Stew Effect Preservation: Suspicious stews only stack if they share the exact same underlying potion effect data components (e.g. Regeneration from Oxeye Daisy stacks with Oxeye Daisy, but not with Night Vision from Poppies). Zero loss or mixing of herbal effects!

🌲 Smart Empty Bowl Return Mechanics

• Eating a stew from a stack consumes 1 bowl, restores your hunger and saturation, and returns an empty wooden bowl directly to your inventory.
• Returned bowls automatically merge into any existing stack of wooden bowls in your bag. If your inventory is completely full, the empty bowl drops cleanly at your feet.

🐄 Mooshroom Milking Convenience

• Right-clicking a Mooshroom or Brown Mooshroom with a stack of empty bowls smoothly milks stew, creating stacked stew bowls directly in your hand.
• Feed small flowers to Brown Mooshrooms and harvest stacks of custom Suspicious Stews for early-game exploration!

⚡ Real-Time Network Sync & Container Refresh

• Active stew limits synchronize automatically via custom S2C network payloads (StewLimitSyncPayload) when a player joins or when GameRules change.
• Open container and inventory screens immediately refresh with the updated limits without requiring a server reboot.

⚙️ Native GameRules & Configuration

Configure stew stack limits dynamically in-game:

🖥️ In-Game Configuration Screen (ModMenu & YACL)

If ModMenu and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) are installed, you can configure the stew limit directly from the client title screen or mods menu:

• Config file: config/stew-stacker.json (acts as baseline defaults for newly generated worlds).
