Using "Pick Block" on a renamed placed Dropper doesnt select dropper with the same name in inventory

Renaming a stack of droppers doesnt allow “Pick Block” to work anymore.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Be in survival

  2. Rename a stack of droppers to “test”

  3. Place a renamed dropper

  4. Select a different item in your inventory

  5. Use “Pick Block” (middle click) on the placed dropper

Observed Result

You stay on your selected item

Expected Result

“Pick Block” selects the dropper in your inventory

Additional Notes

  • Im assuming the same problem applies to dispensers and maybe other blocks too but havent tried.

  • I tested it on a multiplayer server

Nope it’s fixed instead try control clicking

For some reason I cant select the version (26.2) Im on. I can only select 26.3

Hi there,

The Pick Block has 2 ways to pick a block, with NBT data and without NBT data. A middle click alone will pick without considering NBT data, so it won’t find the renamed dropper. You should try picking it with the NBT data! You can do that by holding down the control key (CTRL, often at the bottom left corner of your keyboard) and picking with it held down.

Thank you for your report!
