Minecraft Stack Calculator
Convert between individual items and inventory stacks for efficient Minecraft storage
Stack Calculator
Most items stack to 64, some stack to 16, tools don't stack (1)
How many individual items do you have?
📦 Stack Calculation Results
Calculation: 250 ÷ 64 = 3 stacks + 58 remainder
Storage needed: 4 inventory slots
📐 Calculation Formulas
Items to Stacks:
• Full stacks = floor(total items ÷ stack size)
• Remainder = total items % stack size
Stacks to Items:
• Total items = (full stacks × stack size) + remainder
📊 Example Calculations
📋 Stack Size Reference
💡 Inventory Tips
Right-click to split stacks in half
Shift+click to move entire stacks quickly
Single chest = 27 slots, Double chest = 54 slots
Player inventory = 36 slots (27 + 9 hotbar)
Shulker box = 27 slots (portable storage)
Understanding Minecraft Item Stacks
What are Item Stacks?
In Minecraft, items can be grouped together in inventory slots to save space. Most blocks and items can stack up to 64 in a single slot, creating what's called a "stack." This system helps players manage large quantities of items efficiently.
Stack Sizes by Category
- •64 items: Most blocks, ingots, food, basic materials
- •16 items: Snowballs, eggs, ender pearls, signs, banners
- •1 item: Tools, weapons, armor, potions, enchanted books
Why Use Stack Calculations?
Storage Planning
Calculate how many chests you need for large projects
Resource Management
Organize materials efficiently for building projects
Trading & Commerce
Calculate quantities for multiplayer trading
Farm Output
Determine storage needs for automatic farms
Practical Examples
🌾 Wheat Farm Example
Your automatic farm produces 250 wheat per hour. With wheat stacking to 64:
• Full stacks: floor(250 ÷ 64) = 3 stacks
• Remainder: 250 % 64 = 58 wheat
• Storage needed: 4 inventory slots (3 full + 1 partial)
• After 10 hours: 2,500 wheat = 39 full stacks + 4 wheat = 40 slots needed
🏗️ Building Project Example
You need 5 stacks + 32 cobblestone for a tower:
• Calculation: (5 × 64) + 32 = 320 + 32 = 352 cobblestone needed
• Mining target: Dig until you have 352 cobblestone blocks
• Storage: Requires 6 inventory slots
