purse disapeared when manipulating claim

Postby Finndibaenn » Sat Mar 09, 2013 6:15 pm

I shift clicked my purse (with 200 s in it) while having the claim edit window opened, and the purse disapeared with its content.
THe claim upkeep didn't even recieved the money ...

Any one knows if there is a way to recover it ?

Items dropped on the ground can end up being very small graphically. Have you tried zooming in very close?

It's also possible, if you were unlucky and standing very close to the claimstone, that the purse landed inside the claimstone graphic. However I consider this very unlikely. Have you looked from many different angles?

Also, if you wait too long to recover them, items on the ground will disappear. I hope you find your purse!

the thing is that shift click is not supposed to drop items, but only transfer them from one inventory window to another , but the claim has no inventory ...

Absolutely sure you shiftclicked and didn't ctrlclick? I've done it more than a few times, pretty easy to mis-click and drop it instead.

Fact is you weren't supposed to shift click. You pick it up then right click on claimstone. I agree with other posters that you probably alt-clicked and dropped it. I've accidentally dropped things several times myself.

but the major point to consider, then, is that purses can't be dropped. A countermeasure to prevent situations like this. If you were able to drop/lose the pouch, i'd say it is a bug.

I'm using Ender client, not sure if this behaviour may change from vanilla one

So it was in the belt-slot itself? Fascinating.

No, command sequences are the same. (I'm not aware of any extra control keys in Ender's client, anyway).

Also, purses (along with silver) can't be dropped. The only way to dispose of them is to put it in a container and then break the container.
