## VortexStacker Overview <a href="#user-content--vortexstacker-overview" id="user-content--vortexstacker-overview"></a>

Welcome to the definitive guide to **VortexStacker,** the most advanced, performance-optimized stacking solution for modern Minecraft servers. VortexStacker isn't just about merging entities, it's about providing a seamless, feature-rich experience for both administrators and players.

Below are the five core modules that power the VortexStacker ecosystem.

***

#### 🎨 1. Smart Stacking Conditions <a href="#user-content--1-smart-stacking-conditions" id="user-content--1-smart-stacking-conditions"></a>

VortexStacker provides granular control over entity merging. Unlike basic plugins, our condition system allows you to define exactly when two entities should, or shouldn't stack. A prime example is color-based sheep stacking, ensuring your farms remain organized and visually accurate.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Dynamic Filtering:** You can configure the plugin to check for specific NBT data, wool colors, or even custom metadata before allowing a stack to form.
{% endhint %}

#### 🏗️ 2. Intuitive Spawner Placing <a href="#user-content-2-intuitive-spawner-placing" id="user-content-2-intuitive-spawner-placing"></a>

Managing spawners is a breeze. Our placement logic is designed to be lightweight and responsive. Whether a player is starting a new stack or expanding an existing one, the plugin handles the metadata and holograms instantly, providing a crisp visual experience.

#### 💎 3. Powerful Mob Loot Editor <a href="#user-content--3-powerful-mob-loot-editor" id="user-content--3-powerful-mob-loot-editor"></a>

Leave the YAML files behind. VortexStacker features a robust, **in-game GUI Loot Editor**. This module allows you to modify drop rates, item amounts, and specific enchantments in real-time. Changes are applied instantly without requiring a server reload.

{% hint style="success" %}
**Efficiency First:** Edit complex loot tables for any stacked mob directly through a premium menu interface.
{% endhint %}

#### 🌍 4. Translated Item Stacking <a href="#user-content--4-translated-item-stacking" id="user-content--4-translated-item-stacking"></a>

Accessibility matters. VortexStacker includes a unique **Auto-Translation** engine. When items are stacked, the plugin communicates with the client to display item names in the player's local language. This ensures a professional feel for international communities.

{% hint style="success" %}
**No need to translate all item names one by one, auto translate options do it for you!**
{% endhint %}

#### 📦 5. Optimized Block Stacking <a href="#user-content--5-optimized-block-stacking" id="user-content--5-optimized-block-stacking"></a>

Designed with competitive Skyblock in mind, the Block Stacking module allows players to condense thousands of value-blocks into a single location. This not only saves immense space on islands but also optimizes island level calculations and reduces the overall block count for better server performance, ensuring your leaderboard stays accurate without the lag.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Configuration Note:** Most of these modules can be toggled or fine-tuned in the `config.yml`. Ensure you have the core modules enabled to see these features in action.
