Minecraft – How to split stacked materials in equal stacks on the crafting table

minecraft-java-edition

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?

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.
