[MC-5308] When you place down an enchanted or renamed block and pick it back up it isn't enchanted or renamed anymore.

After an enchanted or renamed block is placed on the ground and picked back up it is not enchanted or renamed anymore. I had a renamed torch that I accidentally placed on the wall and when I picked it back up it wasn't renamed and I had to go use another 5 levels to rename it again which also happened to break my anvil!

For all intents and purposes this "works as intended". Blocks can't save the meta-data required to remember names and enchantments. The feature wasn't really intended to be used for those items.

Recommendation to Mojang: Implement a check that the item doesn't have an ID of less than 256 (plus any special cases like Cake and Flower Pots) to make sure people don't waste XP renaming items that can't always remember the necessary meta-data. Make exception for creative mode, because renaming blocks like levers might be useful for adventure maps to name keys.
