[1.7.10] [SOLVED BECAUSE I AM AN IDIOT!] Can't seem to damage dropped

[HappyKiller1O1]

So, I am trying to add autosmelt block drops (which I do fine. ) but, in doing so, blocks such as lapis ore drops ink sacks instead of lapis. I know this is because I can't seem to change the metadata. Here is what I am doing to add the item to a custom drop list I created:

ret.add(new ItemStack(block.getItemDropped(block.damageDropped(blockMeta), world.rand, fortune)));

 

The block and blockMeta are gotten correctly (checked through console print outs). So , what could be wrong?

Any ideas? .-.

Fixed! I didn't realize I never defined the metadata in the ItemStack. Silly happy.
