Storage you can see. Why keep that gold hidden away in a chest? Can't remember which shulker box has all your granite? Put it all out where you can see it using Bar Stacks or Storage Stacks. Like the look of that Mekanism Digital Miner but can't fit it in your study? Place a small copy and rotate it as you like with a Singles Stack. Need just a little light? Add torches, for a light level of 3 each.
An extension and complete rewrite of Stackable by KidsDontPlay from the good old days of 1.12.2.
| Storage Stack | 27 item stacks in a 3×3×3 grid | The bulk option. A vertical run of them is one shared inventory that fills from the bottom, sorts itself, packs down, and shrinks when you empty it. |
| Singles Stack | 64 items, one per cell, in a 4×4×4 grid | The display case. Every item needs something under it, and pulling one out drops the rest of its column down a layer. Rotate individual items to line them up. |
| Bar Stack | 64 ingots or bricks as stacked bars | The vault. Eight alternating layers of eight bars, each resting on the ones below. Pull a bar out from underneath and everything it was holding up comes down. |
No items and no recipes. A stack exists because you put something in it, and it goes away when you take everything back out, unless you set it permanent for connection to inventory management systems.
| Gesture | Result |
|---|---|
Hold V, right-click air |
Cycle placement mode. Stack types the server has disabled are skipped. |
Hold V + item, right-click a stack |
Deposit into it. |
Hold V + item, right-click any other block |
Place the selected type in the empty space and make the first deposit. If you aimed through the empty space of a Singles or Bar Stack, the item goes into that cell instead. |
Right-click a stack, no V, no Shift |
Take from the nearest item you are looking at. Storage gives you as much as your hand will hold; Singles and Bar give one. |
Select Toggle Permanent, hold V, right-click a Storage Stack empty-handed |
Stop that pile from removing itself when emptied. |
| Shift + right-click a Storage or Singles Stack with a redstone torch | Rotate the whole block 90°. |
| Shift + right-click an item in a Singles Stack with a soul torch | Rotate just that item 90°. |
Every stack block exposes loader-native item storage on every side (IItemHandler on Forge and NeoForge, Transfer API storage on Fabric), and a block in a vertical run exposes the entire run so a hopper under the bottom and a pipe halfway up address the same inventory.
Everything an admin would want to bound is bounded. Piles have a maximum height, stack types can be switched off, whole mods can be barred from storage, and single items can be barred from player deposits. Blocks that grow and remove themselves answer to build limits, obstruction, spawn protection, and the world border. Forge and NeoForge also fire their place and break events, so claim mods using those hooks can allow, deny, or record the edit. Fabric fires its break events, and when Common Protection API is installed, asks it before placing, growing, or depositing into a neighboring stack.
See Server administration for the config file and the /ss command.
/ss command referenceSome Stacks stores any item from any mod, and it does not need to know anything about that mod to do it. Items whose models don't sit well inside a cell are measured automatically and can be corrected by hand, by a resource pack, or by the server through its server resource pack. See Pack authors.
