Modifier key to drop a stack of items as individuals.

[Ortorin]

When one drops a stack of bees they will drop as individual bees in a line that propagates from the drop origin. I would like it if one could hold Ctrl while dropping any other stack of items to get the same effect.

That happens because mobs can't be stacked.

Obviously, but I think having the option to create the same effect with any item would be great. The first idea that comes to mind is dealing with killer bee hives. Just drop down a stack of grass nearby and it will make a line that leads to the hive. Just add fire and grab some popcorn.

In the case of grass, splitting the stack would just make the substacks pile on top of each other, over the same spot. In the case of bees, they are in fact being dropped to the same spot. What happens is that their physics makes them push each other around, unlike grass, which is not treated as a solid object taking up space.

You do such a good job of shooting down my ideas. xD

 

Oh well, I'll try again when I come up with a new idea.

 

Btw simplex, check out the end of my signature. Special thanks to you. =)
