📋 About This Mod
Adds a new button to the inventory UI.
It will move any items from your inventory into nearby chests if they contain at least 1 of the item.
(Yes, I copied this from Terraria)
- This also works with fridges, mills etc.
-Unfortunately this will not work with gamepads: only the mouse
>In 1. 2. 0 you can now Stack with a button on a controller. Default it RightStick. The UI button will still not work though.
> Completely fixed in 1. 4+ Now it works as if it was part of the game.

- Saves you from tedious inventory sorting—just open a chest and your stacks get dumped in automatically.

⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in December 2019—might be outdated for the latest Stardew Valley versions, so check compatibility.
