I have been attempting to make an item drop at given co-ordinates from a block upon power, but have only been able to make the block drop a block as an item.

 

i have been using this:-

CompactWheat.dropBlockAsItem(world, x, y + 1, z, 3, 3);

 

The Compact wheat is simply my block equivalent of the Wheat item, and is exchangeable in a Crafting grid.

 

if anyone can help me on this matter, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank-you in advance

You are calling dropBlockAsItem on your CompactWheat, which will indeed drop CompactWheat at the location.  Is that not what you are intending?

i'd rather drop 'Item.wheat', but cant seem to drop it.

Then make an EntityItem of your wheat and add it to the world.  Look at the dropBlockAsItem function to see how it is done. 

worked great, thankyou
