Your figures

Updates as you type
Most items stack to 64; ender pearls and snowballs stack to 16, buckets and boats to 1.
The first number on the F3 "Facing" line, in degrees.

How this is worked out

3 steps
  1. Full stacks = floor(100 / 16) = 6
  2. Remainder = 100 mod 16 = 4
  3. 6 full stack(s) plus 4 loose item(s) fill 7 inventory slot(s).

Its 5 worked examples are re-run on every release, last on 15 September 2026. What changed

Sources and references

4 sources
Minecraft Wiki: The Nether - coordinate conversion
One block travelled in the Nether covers eight blocks of Overworld distance horizontally; Y is unchanged.
Minecraft Wiki: Tick
The game loop targets 20 ticks per second, so one tick is 0.05 s.
Minecraft Wiki: Beacon - pyramid
Tier k is a (2k+1) x (2k+1) square, so a four-tier pyramid needs 9 + 25 + 49 + 81 = 164 blocks.
Minecraft family engineering contracts
Frozen formulas nether=overworld/8, full=floor(count/size) with remainder=count%size, and seconds=ticks/20.
