    Description of the bug: I switched the places of my used stone shovel and 5 grilled porkchops from 1 to 5 by hovering my cursor over the objects and clicking the number '1'. Shortly thereafter, I tried to eat the grilled porkchops and they turned into a stone shovel with the same amount of damage to it as the one in my first hotbar slot. A few minutes later, without trying to recreate the dupe, I put my used stone pickaxe in my first hotbar slot and 24 dirt in the fifth hotbar slot. Then, when I tried to place the dirt underneath me the whole stack turned into a stone pickaxe with the same damage level.

    Instructions: 1.) Switch the places of your the item in your first botbar slot with the item in your fifth hotbar slot.
    2.) Attempt to use the item in your fifth hotbar slot, accordingly to what it should be used for.

    How many times did you recreate this bug?: Twice by accident.

    Result: Item in fifth hotbar slot duplicated the item in the first hotbar slot.

    Expected Result: Item in the fifth hotbar slot would work according to the action.

    Evidence: None, I'm afraid, however an investigator could look up the duped items' histories perhaps?

    UPDATE:
    After I logged back on a few minutes after posting this thread, the items that had duped were no long duped and were back to their original quantities and objects.

    I believe this to be caused by lag sometimes.

    This is a client sided "dupe" which is caused almost completely by lag, nothing to worry about.

    Ok thanks. Just wanted to make sure no one would abuse it if it really was an item dupe glitch.

    No problem! I want to keep ECC running smoothly and the way it is, no hackers or griefers.
