How do I split stacked materials in equal stacks on the crafting table?
I have a single large stack of a material. It's quite difficult to go "gather" four times if I need four of one object. Isn't there some way for me to break up a stack in an equal amount of pieces?
Best Answer
There is a different way of dropping equal amounts of items into a crafting table that you haven't mentioned in your answer:
With a selected stack of material, hold down left click and 'draw' the shape you want. This will distribute the stack evenly in that shape.

How do you split stacks evenly in Minecraft?
In Minecraft 1.5, a new feature was added: when placing a stack of items in the workbench, if you hold both the right and left mouse buttons down and drag, the stack of items will be split evenly across all the squares you drag them over, simplifying the process of crafting a large number of identical items.How do you spread a stack of items in Minecraft?
You need to click a square that contains your planks, then right-click on all the squares in the crafting grid to distribute the wooden planks among them. In this case, you don't need to follow an exact pattern since you are starting out with a 2x2 crafting grid and the grids will be filled with the same wooden planks.Minecraft Quick-Tip 1: Dividing a Stack of Items into 3.

Answer 2
You have two options to split the stack:
- Right click the stack to pick up half of it.
- Right click whilst holding a stack to only drop one of whatever item you're holding.
Answer 3
To split a stack in half, right click it. To put an even amount of something in a crafting table or chest or your inventory, hold left click on the stack and drag the stack in the shape you want it to be. If you drag the stack over a slot you already placed an item in, it will not affect the slot of items.
