Date drop table seems broken

[A S Lewis]

Hanging dates, when dropped, produce individual dates. In date_palm.lua:

moretrees/date_palm.lua

Lines 680 to 699 in cbe846d

 local dates_drop = { 
 	items = { 
 		{items = { "moretrees:date" }}, 
 		{items = { "moretrees:date" }}, 
 		{items = { "moretrees:date" }}, 
 		{items = { "moretrees:date" }}, 
 		{items = { "moretrees:date" }, rarity = 2 }, 
 		{items = { "moretrees:date" }, rarity = 2 }, 
 		{items = { "moretrees:date" }, rarity = 2 }, 
 		{items = { "moretrees:date" }, rarity = 2 }, 
 		{items = { "moretrees:date" }, rarity = 5 }, 
 		{items = { "moretrees:date" }, rarity = 5 }, 
 		{items = { "moretrees:date" }, rarity = 5 }, 
 		{items = { "moretrees:date" }, rarity = 5 }, 
 		{items = { "moretrees:date" }, rarity = 20 }, 
 		{items = { "moretrees:date" }, rarity = 20 }, 
 		{items = { "moretrees:date" }, rarity = 20 }, 
 		{items = { "moretrees:date" }, rarity = 20 }, 
 	} 
 } 

Presumably this means that hanging dates (e.g. moretrees:dates_f4) should drop between 4 and 20 individual dates (i.e. moretrees:date).

For reasons I can't explain, this is not what happens. If you have 0 individual dates in your inventory, you get 1 date. If you have 1 or more dates in your inventory, you get no dates at all.

I experimented with changing the code to this, which behaves exactly as expected:

local dates_drop = {
	items = {
		{items = {"unilib:fruit_date 4"}},
		{items = {"unilib:fruit_date 8"}, rarity = 2},
		{items = {"unilib:fruit_date 12"}, rarity = 5},
		{items = {"unilib:fruit_date 16"}, rarity = 20},
	}
}

Sorry for the formatting. I don't know why Github can't handle a newline character.

It works correctly in my testing, so I'm guessing it's either an alias issue (looking at unilib:fruit_date in your fix), or you're testing it in creative, which would cause that behavior.

It needs three backticks for multiline code, I fixed it up for you :)
