Increase default stack size of certain resources and building materials

For a while, the maximum stack size has remained at 64 for most blocks and items. This is mostly fine but results in a lot of inventory bloat early on, and makes inventory management more and more cumbersome as more varieties of items are added into the game. I suggest some simple stack size increases; Common blocks such as dirt, stone, sand, and gravel should be able to stack up to 256. Craftable building blocks such as bricks and fences, and uncommon resource blocks such as logs should be able to stack to 128 Almost everything else, such as mining resources and ore blocks, redstone components, and food items should keep the default stack size of 64. "Light" items that the player needs a substantial amount of, such as sticks, torches, seeds, arrows, and bottles should stack up to 1024. Increasing stack sizes would be a relatively small and simple change that could massively improve the quality of life for modern players.

    honestly i think all blocks and most items should stack to anywhere between 1000-9999. bigger stack sizes would basically eliminate the inventory clutter issue. Also take a look at terraria, it’s stack size is 9999 for most items, and that game has a limited 2D world as opposed to minecraft’s basically infinite 3D one. 64 is iconic but maybe just keep that number for certain items like enchanted books. currently i can’t play the game without using the bigger stacks mod, it makes building actually engaging instead of having to reach into my inventory every minute to grab a new stack of the same block.

    I say, 256 for all "basic" items such as cobblestone, sticks, logs, planks, etc.; 64 for 'uncommon' or 'utility' items such as potions, enchanted books, crafting tables, ender pearls, etc.; and 1 for equipment which are already unstackable.
