About this mod Author’s original text

📦 StackIT

Carry more of it, carry it further, and take the whole patch at once.

StackIT is a small, server-authoritative mod that decides two numbers for every item in the game: how

many fit in a slot, and what one of them weighs. Both are multipliers you set once and forget —

or, if you want the control, tune per category, per resource and per individual item, with exclusions

and a hard ceiling. The server owns the settings and clients sync to it, so nobody has to compare config files.

It also stops you pressing E forty times in a berry patch: hold Shift and the whole patch comes up

at once.

It deliberately never makes weapons, armour or tools stackable. Here is why.

⚠️ Upgrading to 0.3

Nothing changes on its own. Every new setting ships switched off: the four resource multipliers in

3 - Stack Resources are 0 (follow the category, then the global multiplier), `Stack Multiplier

Overrides is empty and Weight Reduction Bonus (%) is 0`. A server that upgrades and touches nothing

computes exactly the stack sizes and weights it did on 0.2.3.

Everyone needs 0.3.0. The new settings are server-synced and change what the server computes, so

clients on an older StackIT are asked to update rather than play with different numbers.

⚠️ Upgrading to 0.2

Harvest All is on by default, and the key is Shift. Shift is also the run key, so sprinting up

to a berry bush and pressing Use while still holding it will take the whole patch, not one bush.

That is usually what you wanted anyway, but it is worth knowing before it surprises you. Change the

key or set Harvest All = false in section 7 - Pickup.

Nothing else changes on its own. Auto Pickup Range ships at 2, which is exactly vanilla —

raise it yourself if you want harvests to collect themselves.

Everyone needs the same version. The pickup settings are server-synced, so clients on an older

StackIT are asked to update rather than play without them.

⚠️ Upgrading from 0.0.1

Weight reduction is on by default. 0.1.1 adds a Weight Multiplier that ships at 0.5, so

every item weighs half what it used to the moment you launch. That is a real balance change on an

existing server, and it is deliberate — bigger stacks are only worth having if you can carry them.

If you want the old behaviour, set Weight Multiplier = 1.0 in section 4 - Weight.

Your stack multiplier carries over. It stayed in section 2 - Settings under the same key

precisely so your existing value survives the upgrade untouched.

Everyone needs 0.1.1. Clients still on 0.0.1 will be asked to update, because they would compute

different stack sizes to the server.

⚔️ Features

📦 Bigger Stacks

One multiplier applied to the base stack size of every item that already stacks in vanilla. Defaults

to 3x: 50 wood becomes 150, 20 trophies become 60. A Max Stack Size ceiling (default 9999) is

applied afterwards, so a big multiplier on an already-big stack can never produce a silly number.

Stack sizes are always recomputed from the vanilla value, never from the current one. Turn the

multiplier down mid-session and it genuinely goes down; push a new config from the server ten times

and you get the same answer ten times.

🪶 Lighter Items

The other half of the problem. A multiplier on every item's weight, defaulting to 0.5 — half of

vanilla. Two details matter:

  • Items that weigh nothing in vanilla stay weightless. They are meant to be free.
  • Everything else gets a Minimum Item Weight floor (default 0.01) so nothing rounds down to free

by accident.

On top of the multiplier there is a Weight Reduction Bonus (%): a further percentage taken off

every item. Set it to 25 and everything is 25% lighter than the multiplier alone wou

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin

  1. The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
  2. Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
  3. Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
  4. Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.

Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file. In multiplayer, the host and every client need the same mods installed.

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
