OVERVIEW

ItemStacker is a high-performance Minecraft plugin designed to reduce item entity lag on survival, skyblock, and farm-heavy servers.

Merge thousands of dropped items into optimized stacks while keeping your server responsive. Display stack amounts and optional despawn countdowns using client-side packets, without physical holograms or invisible armor stands.

KEY FEATURES

✔ Packet-Based Displays
Display item names and stack amounts without armor stands or physical holograms.

✔ Optional Despawn Timer
Display the remaining time before items despawn using customizable formats and placeholders such as {time} and {timer}.

✔ Native Despawn Configuration
Respect the item despawn rate configured by your server fork.

✔ MiniMessage & HEX Colors
Customize item labels with gradients, RGB colors, and legacy formatting.

✔ Massive Stack Sizes
Handle large item quantities with configurable stacking limits.

✔ Smart Item Merging
Compare item attributes to prevent incompatible items, including custom RPG gear, from being merged.

✔ Intelligent Inventory Pickup
Fill existing partial stacks first, then available inventory slots. Any remaining items stay on the ground.

✔ Optimized Hopper Transfers
Improve item collection efficiency in dense farms.

✔ Folia Support
Designed for region-based scheduling and entity-safe operations.

✔ Fully Configurable
Customize stack distance, display formats, visibility, sounds, merge intervals, and despawn timers.
