Stews are hardly the most OP foods out there, and the guaranteed inventory clutter makes it so most people never even bother with them. So what is the single stack limit supposed to balance anyway? All the hunger-restoring stews (beetroot, mushroom and rabbit) already have quite difficult crafting recipes to balance them out anyway, and it's still not like they'd be able to compete with pork or steak in terms of saturation v hunger points. The only reason I could think of for why this is still a thing is possibly because mooshrooms give you an infinite amount of mushroom stew, effectively giving you a cheap infinite food source about as good as cooked chicken. Even then, though, mooshrooms are rare in the first place, and they could just limit the amount you can get from them to 1 a day, similar to the cooldown after you breed 2 mobs. This screams to me as being yet another corner of features Mojang has simply forgotten about with the passage of time.

Liquids in general aren’t stackable in game. So far only the ominious bottles are. What you said about how easy it is to farm is also true.
What I wouldn’t give to have some stacked dandelion suspicious stews.

Stew is actually the most OP (normal) food , specifically suspicious stew with dandelion or blue orchid
bruh that chest image is giving me ptsd 💀 like who willingly does this to themselves
you’re totally right though, at this point it feels like legacy code that nobody wants to touch. the mooshroom thing is such a weak argument for keeping it unstackable when you literally need to find a mushroom island first (good luck with that) and even then it’s not like mushroom stew is breaking the game balance-wise. meanwhile we can stack 64 golden carrots which are way more op
mojang probably just has it on some massive technical debt list that gets pushed back every update cycle. they’d rather add more copper variants than fix quality of life stuff that’s been annoying players for years 😂
youd spill the soup 🙁
Because Mojang doesn’t believe in the soupstacking propaganda
I think its more of the design and nothing of that mojang deliberately forgot. Think of it this way bowl food actually do not stack together and if they did it will actually cause balance issues so no they never even ment to compete with steak or pork . Also mushrooms stew being infinite and balanced but it’s still happens that it’s a lot slower and annoying to mass produce so hope you can see the design
Because if you try to stack bowls full of liquid all the liquid is gonna spill out.
