Preventing data merging for stackable unique items

[celest swift]

• What is data merging?
  Data merging is where if an item is stackable and can be obtained by normal means (such as an apple for example), if you wanted a certain action to trigger such as let's say if a player holds an apple to get a effect the special apple (with the unique data of 1) turns into instead of one apple with the unique data of 1 into 2 (if they get an apple which was obtained by normal means) which is problematic, as it would allow a player to duplicate that special apple.

• How does this system work?
  This system is dependent on the {"keep_on_death":{}} component, it's not as intrusive as the other components, when the player dies it will clear them of those unique apples, and due to the structure block (which saved that special apple) it'll also simulate the apples dropping.

Setup process
/scoreboard objectives add d dummy
/give @s structure_block
Place the structure block anywhere, then do
/give @s youritem 3 ||the 3 can any be positive integer, the max is 64, it's the item amount|| 1 ||the 1 can be any positive integer, the max being 32767, it's the data of the item|| {"keep_on_death":{}}
Afterwards, drop the item onto a structure block, set offset to 1, set xyz to 1, you can name it anything you want, let's say you named it "hi" in the command block in the video it'll be /structure load hi ~~~ (with the execute)
the final setup step is changing the hasitem target selector argument according to your item with the specified data and quantity previously set with the /give

@a[scores={d=1},hasitem={item=youritem,data=1,quantity=3}] youritem 1 3

oh dang okay

i don't understand the purpose of it but ig thats cool

[celest swift]

I recall you making a morph thing using commands if a player held out an item commands would run to make it look like as if they are that mob

If this was the survival and lets say the item was like dirt

People would just mine dirt and they'd have stacks of that special item

[zenith harness]

nah bc obtained dirt is data zero while command'd dirt is data one which makes them act liek different items to eachother

Data merging (for stackable items) is the issue with this

[zenith harness]

ohhhh yh i use books that are non stackable so i don't get this issue ;-;

Why was this deleted

[celest swift]

I looked over my commands

[remote sorrel]

Wha

[celest swift]

And realized it would load an apple for dead people

Who didn't have an apple

So I patched it up

[remote sorrel]

Fair

[celest swift]

I'm working on making it so blocks also cannot be affected by data merging

Data merging is no more

[celest swift]

Should be easy using /ability
