Dropping

Dropping is the release of a stack of items to a world. When a stack of items are dropped, anyone who touches it will be able to pick it up.

You can only drop a maximum of 20 stacks (total 4,000 blocks) of this item on a single tile. Each stack represents 200 blocks (based on the fish type too).

Animation

When a player drops an item, it disappears from their inventory and appears with a "grid" surrounding it. The "grid" can be gold, purple, orange, white or blue depending on the item context. While on the ground, the item gently floats up and down, making it easy to spot.

Methods

There are several known ways for items to be dropped in a world.

Method	Overview
Pressing the File:DropButton.png button in one's inventory.	Doing this will allow the player to drop any stack of appropriate items to the tile in front of them. A confirmation screen will first appear. Entering a negative number in the amount-to-be-dropped field will result in the message "Nice try. You remind me of myself at that age."
Breaking a block.	When a block is broken, it may either drop some gems, the block itself, its seed, or nothing. The more rarity it has, the more gems can be dropped when it is broken.
Harvesting a tree.	When a tree is broken, it will drop its fruit and some gems. Rarely, the item's seed can also be dropped.
Harvesting a Provider.	Every provider will drop each characteristic item when it's ready to harvest.
Combining three different stacks of items in any Chemical Combiner.	Punching a Chemical Combiner containing three eligible stacks will make the player say "SCIENCE!". Opening it will cause a stack of dropped items to be created.
During Special Events	Special events are randomly chosen by the server and can happen at anytime, anywhere. When they do, the players have a limited time to pick up items which may have spawned in the world.

Trivia

• Some items, such as the Fist and Wrench, can't be dropped by players in worlds at all. They can't be traded to other players either.
• Fish have set amounts and can't be separated into smaller stacks. Trying to do so will result in the message "Please don't chop up the fish."
• Sacrificing a stack of items in the Growganoth's maw may result in the player receiving one or more Halloween Week-related items.
• Trying to drop a negative amount of items will come up with the message "Nice try. You remind me of myself at that age."
