1.14.1: The Gameplay Update - Patch #3

Yea, we did a fix for it but can't garantee it'll work, so I just didn't put it in here just in case.

 

Alright, let me explain you y'all why they don't stack and why we can't fix it.
So the way an online game works is with a client and a server. The client is you, the server is us. They talk to each other in order to make everything works. When a mob drops a powder, the server actually drops an inksac with the name FIRE 2. It then tells the client: "Yo, this inksac you see on the ground? It's actually a red dye." Same thing when you look at the item information: "Yo, if you see an element name with a number, just write all these powder info instead of just showing FIRE 2."

So the reason why they don't stack, is because you guys are mixing the old powder with a different name (Green Powder II) to the new ones (EARTH 2). The server goes: "WAIT A MINUTE CLIENT, YOU CAN'T STACK THOSE BECAUSE THEY AREN'T THE SAME ITEM AT ALL!". So unless we modify every old powder to the new names, it won't stack. It's kinda dangerous to modify items server-side, so we prefer changing it client-side only. You can however make them stack if you upgrade them.

 

It's the inverse, actually. This system allow us to modify any item, anytime, without any risks for you guys to lose something. This is how we're able to modify your item's information without you having to re-identify them or replacing them. The client doesn't actually modify our input, we simply make the server "lie" to the client while keeping the real information for itself.
