A real chest bug?

IGN: megef2010
Bug: chest shops saying they are empty when they are not
Date of Report: 12:23 EST 1/13/2014
Steps to Reproduce: Make a chest shop selling carrots or potatoes
Evidence:
I noticed several times when people tried to buy potatoes or carrots it would say the shop is out of stock when it is not. I have taken screenshots of the bug as provided below.

 

Are you sure you entered the correct ItemID in the sign?

One player had a similar problem, turned out he was not using the proper ID and it was indeed with carrots.

Do /iteminfo in-game and use that code in the sign. EDIT: It is 392

 

In the second screenshot you can see the sign is that not the correct id?

 

^ you can also write 'potato item' and that works too.
If you have more issues, type /iteminfo while holding the item and it will give you the name and ID.

If it was the correct ID, it would have worked.

 

Alright I used that item id it will be a while before I can test it but I hope that works. Thank you for your help.
My only question is though why is it called potato item and what is a potato then?

 

Because Minecraft. Plain potato does not exist.

 

As Monkey and Awesome already said, it is 'Potato item', therefor only 'Potato' would not work.

Again, I recommend you use the output code from the command '/iteminfo' in the future to avoid such inconveniences. The number does not lie

 

Are you still having this issue?

Also I'd assume it would be 'potato item' and 'carrot item' instead of 'potato' and 'carrot' because 'potato' is most likely the plant itself, just like 'carrot' being the plant itself.

 

Not anymore thank you for the help

 

Alright, moving to resolved!
