Fix Items That Won't Stack
Sometimes items fail to stack even though the mod should allow it. This is a known quirk of the mod, but there's a simple workaround.
The Drop and Pick-Up Method
When you notice items aren't combining in your inventory:
1. Drop the item on the ground by pressing Q (or your drop key)
2. Pick it back up by walking over it
3. The item will now recognize other identical items and stack properly
Why This Works
Dropping and picking up forces the mod to recalculate the item's stack properties. This refreshes its stacking behavior and resolves most temporary glitches.
Prevention
If you're combining large quantities of items, pick them up fresh from the ground rather than trying to merge them directly from containers. This reduces the chance of stacking failures occurring in the first place.
