Vanilla item stacking

I ran into some troubles while making my sorting system. Items seems to be stacking at a much larger radius than normal, which makes rapid-firing droppers gather up stacks of items before it gets sent off by the water stream.
This is a problem because hoppers can only take 46 items at a time. So every time a stack passes by, 18 items will pass right by the filter.

This is undoubtedly a problem created by Spigot, as normal servers no not have this issue. Vanilla already have stacking item entities, so I don't see why Spigot needs to change that. Surely, there would be negligible impact, if any impact at all on the server to make this change.

EDIT: I should also mention, this is not the only instance where the Spigot item stacking has worked against me. In my cow farm, items that would normally fall into a hopper below the cows forms a stack inside the wall and launches off into space. It is that silly.

Well... I hate to tell you this but I have no problem with full (64 with most items) stacks in my hoppers that I use. So I'm not sure where your running into the issue with exactly...

Sorting hoppers can't take more than 46 items. Those are pre-filled with 18 of the desired item, and 4 other random items to fill up the slots

Spigot is apparently not suited towards my play style. And for that, I shall take my leave! You may remove my protections and claim whatever I have built.
Good day!

1-did anyone else made a sorting system with hoppers? Is this problem reproducible?
2-sice u told me online about this, i havent had a chance to discuss it with knas yet. I'm sure hee's gonna read this soon tho.
Maybe he can do something about it.
3-as soon as runecraft updates and it's stable for the newer minecraft, we are gonna update probably... and that might change things.
dont rush in quitting, we might be able to fix that.

At least, did u compare your compare your cowfarm with atlas's?
