Item spawn using AddItemEntityPacket (0x8E)

Ya, this is "intended" as in, "please don't hack/do that". 😉 It will be fixed in the near future though, so I think it's a valid ticket.

Related: MCPE-1531 (but this can be done client-side, not only server-side)

Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.

Updated the affected versions, and added a note (it's currently a major issue for some public servers).
