I'd like to know how to drop an item into the world at a certain spot that has a damage value

 

The item i am trying to drop is a spawn egg

the code is being fired in the EntityInteractEvent handler

 

I have figured out how to make an item drop, and I know how to make an itemstack that has a damage value but I don't know of any way to drop an itemstack into the world at a desired location

 

ok got it working with the following, but if someone knows of a better way please do post

 

 

public static void DropItem(ItemStack i, double posX, double posY, double posZ, World w){

if(i.stackSize>0 && i.getItem() != null){

EntityItem ei = new EntityItem(w,posX,posY,posZ,i);

ei.delayBeforeCanPickup=10;

w.spawnEntityInWorld(ei);

}

 

 

If you need items drop from an entity:

Entity e = ...;
e.entityDropItem(new ItemStack(...));
