Bottle Stacker

BottleStacker is a Minecraft Spigot plugin that allows stacking of bottles, potions, splash potions, and lingering potions beyond the default stack size of 1. It is designed for performance and compatibility, giving server administrators control over potion stacking while maintaining stability.


Core Functionality

• Universal stacking of all bottle and potion types (regular, splash, lingering)
• Supports Minecraft versions 1.12 and above with automatic version detection
• Supports custom potions from other plugins like Brewery and Disease
• Preserves potion effects, custom names, and lore during stacking
  

Advanced Configuration

• Set different stack limits for each potion typ
• Built-in throttling to prevent server lag
• Debug mode for troubleshooting
• Hot reload for configuration changes without restarting the server
  

Safety and Performance

• Multiple layers of anti-duplication protection
• Performance monitoring and automatic throttling
• Version compatibility validation
• Memory efficient design
  

1. Download the latest BottleStacker-1.0.0.jar from the releases
   
   
2. Place the jar file in your server's plugins/ directory
   
   
3. Start the server to generate configuration files
   
   
4. Edit the config.yml file in plugins/BottleStacker/
   
   
5. Reload the plugin using /bottlestacker reload or restart the server

Core Components

• StackManager: Handles stacking logic and validation
• ConfigManager: Loads and validates configuration
• InventoryListener: Monitors inventory interactions
• VersionCompatibleListener: Ensures cross-version compatibility
• AntiDupeUtils: Prevents item duplication exploits
  

Performance Features

• Asynchronous processing for non-blocking stack operations
• Throttled operations to prevent server lag
• Memory optimization with efficient item handling
• Smart event listener priorities
  

Stackable Items

• Glass bottles (empty)
• Potions (vanilla and modded/plugin)
• Splash potions

• Water bottles
  

Custom Potion Support

• Automatically detects and supports custom potions from plugins like Brewery and Disease
  

Built-in Protections

• Rate limiting to prevent spam clicking exploits
• Batch processing for efficiency
• Automatic memory cleanup
• Thread-safe concurrent operations
  

Monitoring

• Real-time performance metrics
• Automatic throttling when lag is detected
• Debug mode for performance analysis
• Memory usage tracking

Common Issues

• Potions not stacking: Ensure potion types are identical (effects, duration, amplifier)
• Server lag: Reduce max-stack-check-groups and max-items-per-check
• Custom potions not working: Load custom potion plugin before BottleStacker
• Permission errors: Verify operators have bottlestacker.admin permission
  

Debug Mode

• Enable debug: true in config.yml
  
  
• Check server console for logs
