Description

Expected behavior

An itemstack serialized 1.20.4 should correctly load in 1.21 without errors.

Observed/Actual behavior

on 1.20.4:

Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString(Bukkit.getUnsafe().serializeItem(shulker))

the base64 string: https://0bin.net/paste/gCNq3q2J#fdoLN9dS1PAzhj8eBqeOrnp-xihURktdcDNq1nGLw4a

on 1.21
Bukkit.getUnsafe().deserializeItem(Base64.getDecoder().decode(string));

console error: https://0bin.net/paste/o2chIszJ#52v2olu-s1gmuI/T6IOWtt9OJp3CIgjIu7DgXVqxAyG

The item appears to deserialize correctly, but the console error is still printed, very odd.

Steps/models to reproduce

Encode an item using Bukkit.getUnsafe().serializeItem in 1.20.4

decode said item in 1.21

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with Bukkit.getUnsafe().serializeItem and deserializeItem using the provided 1.20.4 Base64 data on Paper 1.21. Trace the deserialization path responsible for the “Not a boolean: 0” message, then verify that the item loads without logging an error while preserving its data.
