   Does anyone know if the above mentioned method returns a shallow copy or a deep copy?

   As far as I know, it should return a deep copy (If you mean that it copies everything). It is literally a clone, exactly the same except they are different objects

   That's what I thought, but something that was happening in my plugin was showing otherwise. But it turned out to be a minor bug it my code, I've got it all figured. All of the fields of an ItemStack are non-objects anyway, meaning a shallow copy is sort of impossible unless they pretty much do this:
   
   

   Code:

   @Override
   public ItemStack clone() {
       return this;
   }

   which would be pretty ignorant. But they didn't, so it's all good.
