How to Increase Maximum Item Stack Size on Your Rust Server

Increasing stack sizes allows players to carry more items in a single inventory slot, reducing inventory management and making gameplay smoother. Using the Stack Size Controller plugin, you can customise stack sizes for different item categories.

Installing the Stack Size Controller Plugin

1. Download the Stack Size Controller plugin from uMod.
2. Upload the plugin file to your oxide/plugins folder. See How to Install uMod Plugins on Your Rust Server for detailed instructions.
3. Start your server to generate the config file.

Configuring Stack Sizes

1. Navigate to the Wabbanode Control Panel and select your Rust server.
2. Click the Files tab.
3. Navigate to the oxide/config folder.
4. Click on StackSizeController.json to open it.
5. Edit the settings as needed (see below).
6. Click Save then reload the plugin:

oxide.reload StackSizeController

Understanding the Config Options

The Stack Size Controller plugin uses multipliers to increase stack sizes from their default values.

Example Configurations

Double all stack sizes:

{
  "CategoryStackMultipliers": {
    "Ammunition": 2,
    "Construction": 2,
    "Items": 2,
    "Medical": 2,
    "Resources": 2,
    "Food": 2
  }
}

10x resources, 5x everything else:

{
  "CategoryStackMultipliers": {
    "Ammunition": 5,
    "Construction": 5,
    "Items": 5,
    "Medical": 5,
    "Resources": 10,
    "Food": 5
  }
}
