[Bug] Dropping Items in the World

Hello Bukkit forums,
I'm working on a plugin right now and I got to a point where I have to spawn an Itemstack in my world. currently I'm doing it like this:

Code:java

ItemStack item = new ItemStack(Material.SOME_ITEM,1);
World world = Bukkit.getWorlds().get(0);
Location loc = new Location(world,1,1,1);
world.dropItem(loc,item);

(The values aren't the same BTW)

I'm doing this in a repeating sheduler and it is spawning the items, but every time it spawns the item, the exisiting stack gets removed and a new one spawns. Is it a problem with Bukkit or my coding?

thanks for any help I get,
Freack100

 

Freack100 Your spawning a item on another one, its probably grouping them

Exactly what Onlineids has stated, ItemStacks now group to increase performance along side other things.

okay, thanks, any idea how I can "fix" this for my Rush like game?

Well outside of editing every single ItemStack so it's technically different?

There may be a guru out there that may suggest reflection, involving changing some value that means they won't stack higher, however I'm not that kind of guy.

 

Freack100 valon750 just give the ItemStacks unique ItemMeta

 

That's what I'm assuming fireblast709, however what part of the ItemMeta would you suggest?

Most I can think of is display name / lore, but there's probably something else?

 

valon750 name and lore are the most suitable, due to the fact that they apply to all ItemStacks, and they use Strings, which allows a huge variety of unique values. If ItemMeta is already used, then I recommend adding a unique number to the end of the lore List, just a global incrementing int would do perfectly fine ('global incrementing int' is just an int field which increments each time you use it)

Thx for your help!
Somewhere else I found out that I can change a setting which is merging itemstacks.
