Item Duplication

From what I can see on Youtube, this issue has been in the game for quite a few versions. It allows a player to duplicate any item stack (even a shulker box containing multiple items).

 

How to replicate:

1.) Place a sticky piston facing up (sticky side up)

2.) Place a chest on top of the sticky piston

3.) Place a wooden button connected to the sticky piston (wooden works well as there's a longer high pulse before the piston comes back down).

4.) Hit the button and open the chest while it's in the air.

5.) Take the item out of the chest RIGHT BEFORE it's about to go back down (has to be on the same tick/cycle). Will take a few tries to get the timing right, but it's easy afterwards.

I can't stress enough the level of importance and impact this has on your game as there's ZERO point in playing ANY multiplayer survival mode when people just obtain resources unfairly.

 

Hopefully this gets fixed soon.
