Well, the current stacksize in survival mode for some items and nodes is 495, as I've stated above.

azekill stop it. I wrote clearly survival stacksize, meaning stacksize you can rack up stacking items one by one as you would do in survival.

Fun Fact: The reason why the stacksize is limited to 65535 is because the common computer can't store any larger value. After that it can only store characters.

Not true. 65535 is the maximum value a 16 bit unsigned integer can store. 2^16=65535 (an unsigned integer only stores positive values. Integers are whole numbers)

You can have larger integers, 32bit and 64bit.
And you can have floating point decimals, which can store massive numbers because they use something similar to standard form:

A * 2^B

Characters are just binary. In ASCII and Unicode: A=65, B=67, C=68...
Usually a character is stored in an 8bit integer, an 8bit integer has a maximum of 255 differently values. Recently text has become a lot more complicated than this, due to the need for more characters say from Chinese. Also emojis. I won't explain that here.

There is nothing different between how characters, numbers, programs, photos and videos are stored. They're all just binary digits. It's all just data. It's only when you know what data is describing that you can interpret it into something useful.

So 0000 0101 may be 5 as a number, or an asci character, or the red component of an image.

sorry i thought you were talking of the max size of the engine.... i'm dumb sometimes.... but this giant stack size should be very great in creative!

Yes. I think instead of infinite stacks, creative should give 65535 stacks. Not all mods support infinite stacks, and finite stacks are good for crafting tests and the like, and not many people empty those.

As of today we have a multiple pages long discussion about this with 81 percent of the people prefer 100 instead of the current and other options.

Will this ever change, or is it just another discussion only for the sake of discussing something?

I guess posting an issue on the Minetest Game or Minetest issue tracker may increase the chances.

I personally don't care as long the number is not below 99, but you probably already know that.
I'm creating MineClone 2, a Minecraft clone for Minetest.
I made the Help modpack, adding in-game help to Minetest.

It can't be higher i think.

Krock wrote:@azekill_DIABLO :

I agreed with Krock, I tested in singleplayer:
+ image

The value might be different for different devices?

Anyway, I voted 100 for easy calculations.

I personally think 98 is better because
-it is even
-it does not cover the item.

In order number not to cover the item you have to… miss that f*cking item.
No item — no pixels occupied by number.
