Ink Sacs obtained by trading won't make black dye, book & quill, or stack with ones from squids.

Yep don't worry, it's not an issue as such but a tad annoying! I thought I was being properly smart buying ink from wandering traders! Lol, can't wait for the next patch... this patch seems to be bug central

Checked into an nbt editor and the error seems to be in the "damage" tag. It's set to 9 instead of 0.

Can confirm it's still an issue. I thought it was odd when the ink sacs I got from squids wouldn't stack with the ones I just bought from a wandering trader, but then I couldn't use them to make bacl dye either. Version 1.16.100 on Windows 10.

Just ran into this bug on Xbox One, when I needed lots of black dye for a project. Mildly frustrating to put the project on pause until a fix is implemented.

So, we've just had this happen on a privately hosted server. And as a result, have been able to isolate exactly what's happening.

May I present exhibit A which comprises 23 freshly harvested ink sacks from squid. And two stacks of 36 purchased from 2 different traders at different times.

Exhibit B - Universal Minecraft Editor

So the top one is obviously the fresh ones from squid. The other two... well notice that damage counter. This isn't the first time bedrock has had this problem so I can't say I was surprised when I saw it. The traders are literally selling damaged goods. Lol.

The ink sacs from wandering traders can still be used to make black wool + carpet 🙂 (although still annoying, if you want to make book+quill, black dye or grey dye)!

can't get a wondering trader (from spawn egg) in 1.16.210.54 to even trade ink sacs. Might just be bad luck, but i looked at about 100 traders. non had it

The fix in 1.16.210.54 beta applies only to ink sacs acquired in that version or later. For already existing ink sacs please vote for/follow MCPE-113983.
