MC-106494Items despawn after one minute instead of five when dropped from the Creative inventory
The bug
If you drop an item from the Creative inventory by dragging it over the edge of the inventory panel or by pressing Q while hovering above an item, it disappears after one minute. This does not happen if you drop the item with Q while not in the inventory.
This is problematic since it breaks despawn timer mechanisms.
This might be intended, but if so, it seems inconsistent that this happens only when dropping items out of the Creative inventory.
To reproduce
- Switch into Creative mode
- Drop an item by dragging it over the edge of the Creative inventory panel
- Wait one minute
→
The item disappears

Original description
If you drop an item or block from your inventory, it despawns after 5 minutes.
However, if you drop 2 - 64 items (so they group up) items despawn only after 1 minute.
I was only able to reproduce this bug in the attached world. I also pruned the world to check if that fixes the bug, but no. Here is a video of a stack of blocks despawning in 1 minute.
I've attached the world save where this bug is present.

Per MC-106494, the bug seems to be that the single item doesn't despawn after one minute.
Thank you for your report!

With the introduction of Honey Blocks in 19w41a I believe that this bug should be reopened.
Honey Blocks can move items only when they are moved with items on top of them. This means testing any item transport with honey blocks requires items to be present in the world itself. This makes the items despawning after 1 minute problematic because the items don't last as long as they do in every other scenario (dropping with Q, or in survival).
This creates a situation where players are inconvenienced and have to go back to survival to throw items, when they were already in creative for testing honey block creations (and all other creations for that matter).
MC-106494 was as marked WAI over 3 years ago. This should be reopened and reconsidered by the devs.
MC-106494 has been reopened and rewritten. Feel free to leave a vote for it and add any missing information if I missed something.
Duplicates MC-106494
Unable to reproduce in 16w33a. A stack of 64 despawned in exactly 5 minutes for me.
Anon, did you try it in the attached world or in another one? Also, were you able to reproduce it in 1.10.2?
Only occurs when throwing items from the creative inventory on the ground. Most likely intended.
Works as intended.
The ticket has been reopened on the basis that items dropped with Q while not in the inventory are not affected by this issue. Also, the code analysis above is not necessarily evidence for this being intended, as parts of it are contributed by the community in the deobfuscating process.
