+Subject: [PATCH] Fix ItemStack Data Conversion
+
+Spigot did not copy our version, and their version is not 100% correct.
+
+The current state results in item meta and damage data value conversions clashing for control
+
+For example on a horse egg, on itemstack creation, the 100 Damage is converted to 0 and sets EntityTag
+
+SetItemMeta then drops the previous NBTTagCompound and makes a new one, which has no EntityType associated
+to it as the previous stack had no metadata.
+
+This change makes it so that itemstack conversion is delayed until after meta applies
+
+Pretty much restores our previous implementation before Spigot tried to resolve it.
