Minecraft Username: MerrickKing Brief Description: won 1400 dirt blocks on auction, 1000 were dropped on the floor, returned to them with an empty inventory and couldnt pick them up, tried again with 1 block of dirt, still didnt pick them up, ended up despawning Instructions: How many times did you recreate this bug?: well, once but it happened for a long time Result: dirt despawned and i lost 1000 blocks of dirt Expected Result: picked up dirt blocks Evidence: sadly no screenshots but both a mayor and a moderator tried to pick up th blocks and neither could
I can confirm that the dirt on the ground was unable to be picked up, even with an empty inventory of mine.
I remember this as an uncommon side effect from auction testing (https://www.ecocitycraft.com/forum/threads/bug-auction-not-dropping-items.147092) a while ago. Sometimes only one player saw the dirt and I didn't, but I managed to achieve the result for me a few times back then.
@JamieSinn can you check this out. Also when you logged out and back in was the dirt still there? May have been client side. Best to always insure an empty inventory when bidding on auctions.
