You can get stacks of 100 by using /giveme. Even 1000 if you like

Some servers have increased the stack size for cobble. That's very practical as that ugly stuff takes less of your storage space away that way. Regarding the topic, I'm pretty sure the theory that it was set to 99 because that's the highest two-digit-number in decimal notation is the most likely one.

there should be a setting called "default_stack_max"

Hybrid Dog do not suggest Rubenwardy. I am ready for a new chapter in this book so he will be busy.

It could be done in straight Lua mod code. Wrap (replace) the appropriate 'register_*()' functions and have them add a 'stack_max' value to item definitions if one is not present. Likewise modify definitions already added to the 'minetest.registered_items', table to cover items registered before the mod is initialized. Something like:
Code: Select all
local DEFAULT_STACK_MAX = 128;
local function wrapRegFunc(funcName)
local wrapped = minetest[funcName];
minetest[funcName] =
function(name, def, ...)
if def.stack_max == nil then def.stack_max = DEFAULT_STACK_MAX; end;
return wrapped(name, def, ...);
end;
end;
wrapRegFunc('register_node');
wrapRegFunc('register_craftitem');
wrapRegFunc('register_tool');
for _, def in pairs(minetest.registered_items) do
if def.stack_max == nil then def.stack_max = DEFAULT_STACK_MAX; end;
end;

I was talking about the pull request I did a few months ago, that hasn't been merged:

Sure. I'm just always looking for mod-based workarounds. I've found participating in contributions to official code rather unfriendly and unappealing myself, so the more people can do for themselves from Lua, the better.

celeron55 doesn't work on Minetest any more. I was talking about how I've already done it.

Before the small commit in feb, the last one was ten months ago. Compare that to zeno, pilzadam, or even me. Point proven.
Celeron55 has even said in IRC that he doesn't want to work on Minetest anymore, but wants to work on other projects.

There are a lot of good pull requests that fix bugs, enhance the game or tweak the visuals that aren’t merged even if they could be automatically merged – but that’s another topic :)

Doesn't he? That's weird. Then who does? PilzAdam & Co?
Now I know why it's no longer called Minetest-c55

You mean like anybody can contribute?
BTW it's nice to have the OP reply for once :D

Anybody on Github can contribute, by making pull requests, and trusted developers can directly push their changes in the repository (
minetest/minetest)
The core is mostly written in C++, except the builtin directory which is Lua.
Mods are fully written in Lua.
It's not the topic, so if you want to talk more specifically about it, I advise you to open a new topic.

I recall to have a setting in minetest.conf that enabled going over 99 items in stack, used to max out to 999.
Don't remember what setting was or if was in older Minetest builds.
Discussions about the maximum permitted stack would be useless if it could be overrode in minetest.conf or world.mt

+1 to 96 per stack.
There shouldn't be >100 (excluding 100) stacks, if so, chests are pretty useless in some way.
Actually 100 seems big, but doesn't seem as big as 101.
Edit: I think that you can give yourself (/giveme, /give user cmds) something like -1 and that will give you 49~~ something.

/giveme default:blahblah 100 is not something everyone on MP can (and would want/bother to) do.
So need an alt

ln my opinion minetest should set the default stack max to a random value between 71 and 127 if the value isn't set yet that servers get different stack max and playing makes more fun.
