Re-Opening of the 1.8.1 Duplication Glitch in 1.8.7

This works similarly to the 1.8.1 glitch that I reported before, it uses the same mechanics, but it is slightly different.

If you want to see the steps done to do all of this, there will be an unlisted YouTube video link I made just for this.

1. Place a tnt block next to any storage block, light it, and use the 1-9 keys to pass the item you want to duplicate back and forth between your hotbar and the storage block until it blows up. If successful, you will have the item you tried duplicating on the ground as well as in your hotbar, except your item will have a count of 0.
2. Don't pick up the item on the ground, because it will remove the item with a count of 0. From here, left-click the duplicating item, move it out of your inventory, and right-click it. Every time you right-click, it will drop an item out. In the video I use, I have an auto-clicker using the right-click button every 10ms, capping the right clicking speed at around 50 items a second.
3. Place the item back in your inventory, walk away from the items you just spawned on the ground, and drop it out of your inventory. Then pick up the items you have just duplicated, they should act normally.

Last time I reported this duplication glitch, you guys saw my report and block duplication from the dispenser and dropper, which is the video I found making it possible. However, you still let items have a count of 0 in your inventory, which is letting this glitch continue. Even if you patch the item from duplicating out of your inventory, the duplication glitch still slightly works on dispensers and droppers, but instead of duplicating an infinite amount, it only creates 1 more.

As far as I can tell, removing the ability to have an item with a count of 0 will fix every way of duplicating in this form. After this fix, I believe the only other will be fixing the unloading and loading of chunks with hoppers crossing inbetween. Here is the video link for my demonstration, performed on my server verifying that it is SMP friendly as well as singleplayer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZ12PdJvE64

What I've said to fix this glitch is just a suggestion, I am not trying to enforce that you fix it how I thought, as I'm not sure how long it would take to fix it if there's a fix for it at all, since I am not a coder, but I hope you take my thoughts into consideration. I did after all make the report that stopped dispenser duplication, so I do care. Old report here MC-78495
